With the continued development of tourist attractions, the competition in tourism has become increasingly fierce, and how to improve tourist satisfaction has gained the attention of scholars home and abroad. Based on the comprehensive analysis of the concept of tourist satisfaction, influencing factors, index system and models, we have formed systematic cognition of tourist satisfaction; Based on the literature review on employee satisfaction, this paper also points out the achievements and shortages of these research. Through the summary of the research progress in tourist satisfaction home and abroad, the paper shows the existing theoretical research findings of tourist satisfaction are mainly in “tourist satisfaction”and “Tourism enterprise employee satisfaction”, while relatively ignoring the research of "residents" satisfaction in destination. Therefore, much work is yet to be done and deepened.
