  ABSTRACT: The fuzzy multicriteria grade cluster analysis model put forward by this study can objectively deal with the need priorities of tourism and leisure resources so the budget is allocated first to the projects which are in urgent need of money. Thus, the following situation can be avoided: in the traditional budget allocation of tourism and leisure resources, the tourism and leisure project submitted by all units are not partitioned off according to their different need grades but unfairly mixed together in evaluation, leaving the projects at high need grade unable promptly to obtain funds.
