Questionnaires were distributed to 280 participants in tourism industry in Chiang Mai, Thailand. Data were analysed by the analysis of CFA and SEM via LISREL 8.54. The structural equation modelling in information sharing and the performance of tourism industry in Chiang Mai were consistent with empirical data (χ²/df = 2.10, GFI = 0.88, AGFI = 0.98, RMSEA = 0.03, PCLOSE = 0.98, NFI = 0.98, IFI = 0.99 and CFI = 0.97). The SEM results presents that information sharing factor is positively relationship with tourism supply chain, service quality and firm performance variables.
