[Objective] This paper was conducted to look into the differences in livelihood resilience among farmers with different livelihood strategies in the tourist destinations in Enshi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture, illustrate the role and influence of tourism development on the livelihood resilience of farmers, and then put forward countermeasures and suggestions for improving the livelihood resilience of farmers in Enshi Tujia and Miao Prefecture.[Methods] An assessment indicator system of livelihood resilience was built based on Speranza's assessment system of livelihood resilience and by considering the features of livelihood of households in tourist destinations in China's mountainous areas. Data were collected through questionnaires and differences in livelihood resilience of farmers with different livelihood strategies were compared and analyzed by using ANOVA to clarify the relationship between farmers' livelihood resilience and livelihood strategies. [Results] Firstly, households involved in tourism industry have been seen a remarkable improvement in their livelihood resilience, self-organisation, capacity for learning and buffer capacity. Secondly, subsidy-dependent farmers less involve in tourism industry. Thirdly, subsidy-dependent farmers are the most vulnerable in terms of their self-organisation, capacities for learning and buffer capacity, lagging far behind other types of households in the indicators of health status, means of living, per capita savings, dependency ratio, the capability to acquire information and the ability to anticipate risks. [Conclusion] Tourism participation has a positive influences on the improvement of farmers' livelihood resilience, but participation in tourism development has not become the main livelihood choice of farmers in Enshi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture.
