This can cause their different attitudes toward management strategies. The research results show that:（1）different visitors’ characteristics result in different environment impacts cognition, environmental concern level, and acceptance attitudes toward management strategies.（2）visitors of more environment impacts cognition show more agreements on management strategies.（3）visitors of more environmental concerns show more agreement on management strategies.（4）visitors of more environmental concerns show more cognition of environment impacts. The issues of environment impact management emphasize the need of the viewpoints from researchers, managers and visitors all together.
