Data analysis was performed using benefit cost ratio (BCR) analysis, and multiple linear regression test. The benefit cost ratio analysis is an investment feasibility assessment. If BCR ≥ 1, then the project is feasible, and vice versa.The results of the calculation of BCR all get a value of <1, so the project concluded it is not feasible, because conservation forest management is not to be taken material profit, but more towards environmental services in this case precisely priceless. Partially (individual) only the variables X1, X2, X3 that affect Y, while X4 and X5 have no effect. Keywords: visits, per capita income, government expenditure, reception, conservation
