Abstract: It is exceptionally feasible to analyze the tourist information text with the appraisal theory, which is attitudeloaded and interpersonal. Through comparison between two types of tourist information textsboth domestic and abroad, big differences are found that attitudinal resources, esp. appreciation resources distributed quite differently than another. As for the distribution of graduation resources, there are also many differences concerning the dimensions of intensification and quantification. Furthermore, attitudinal lexis is employed quite differently in these two discourses, which brings different interpersonal meaning and thus affects the effectiveness of the publicity for the tourism discourse.

Key words: appraisal theory, attitude, graduation, interpersonal
