To achieve carbon neutrality and promote the sustainable development of hotels, it is very important to study the differences of hotel practitioners' low-carbon cognition and behavior. The principal component analysis, coupling coordination degree, paired sample T-test and geographic detector were used to study the differences and influencing factors of low-carbon cognition and behavior of hotel practitioners in Wutai Mountain Scenic Spot. The results showed that: (1) The low-carbon cognition and behavior of hotel practitioners involved six dimensions: low-carbon diet, low-carbon accommodation, low-carbon management, low-carbon cycle, low-carbon service and low-carbon supply. The influencing factors included seven factors: man-land view, climate change view, carbon neutrality knowledge and mode, ecological culture, low-carbon service cost, low-carbon social atmosphere and policy, low-carbon facilities and conditions. (2) According to star-rated of hotel, the hotel practitioners were divided into four groups: five-star, four-star, three-star, below three-star and homestay practitioner. The level of cognition showed a gradual decline. (3) There were significant differences in the low-carbon cognition and behavior of hotel practitioners. In terms of low-carbon cognition, the four groups were all lagging behind in the cognition of low-carbon diet, while in terms of low-carbon behavior, they were lagging behind in the behavior of low-carbon supply, low-carbon accommodation, low-carbon management, low-carbon cycle and low-carbon service. (4) According to the difference of coupling coordination, the practitioners of five-star had intermediate coordination in the dimensions of low-carbon accommodation, cycle and supply, while the dominant factors were the man-land view, low-carbon facilities and conditions. The practitioners of four-star were the primary coordination in supply dimension, while the intermediate coordination were accommodation and cycle dimension. The main driving force was low-carbon facilities and conditions, costs of low-carbon service, carbon neutrality knowledge and mode. The practitioners of three-star were primary coordination on supply dimension, while the dimensions of accommodation and cycle were intermediate coordination. The main factors were ecological culture, carbon neutrality knowledge and mode. The practitioners below three-star and homestay were primary coordination in the dimensions of cycle and supply. The main influencing factors were costs of low-carbon service, low-carbon social atmosphere and policy.
