The article is to research on the cur-rent situation of medical and health services in scenic spots in northwest Yunnan and the safety conscious-ness of tourists and travel providers, and to provide the oretical basis for formulating health policies and in-tervention methods to reduce travel accident frequency. The survey shows that: 67.2% (268 tourists) and8.3% (6 tour guides) did not know whether there was a medical service station in the scenic spot. 93. 1%(67 tour guides) and 93.7% (374 tourists) think that it is necessary to set up medical service stations inscenic spots of various sizes, and 99. 1% ( 114 tourist attractions staffs ) think that it is necessary to set upmedical service stations in scenic spots. On one hand, as there are few tourists know about medical station-sin scenic spots, publicity of medical stations should be promoted. Authorities should pay attention to thedevelopment of medical services in tourist attractions, including the infrastructure and soft power, so as toaccelerate the steady development of tourism in northwest Yunnan as a whole.
