Lateral-effect refers to the increase of one kind of consumer goods (or investment/export), which may lead to the increase of another kind of consumer goods (or investment/export). For example, ticket consumption in scenic spots can lead to the consumption of accommodation and catering [1]. The study of the lateral-effect is a new topic in the study of industrial correlation in recent years. The study of the lateral-effect of ticket consumption in scenic spots on regional economy is helpful to grasp the focus of the industrial layout of tourist destinations. Based on the related research results of predecessors, this paper takes the a-level scenic spots of national natural landscape in China as an example, applies the input-output method, introduces the theory of lateral-effect, and calculates the lateral-effect multiplier of ticket consumption of scenic spots on regional economy. The calculation results show that for every unit of added value created by scenic spot tickets, 6.74 units of added value of other sectors of the national economy can be driven by the lateral-effect, indicating that a-level scenic spots of national natural landscape in China have a significant driving effect on regional economy. Through calculation and analysis, this paper draws the conclusion that the scenic spot should gradually cut ticket prices, spend more resources on improving tourists' consumption of shopping, catering and accommodation, and optimize the structure of tourists' consumption.
