| Abstract : Mohd Sayuti Hassan |
| Many developing countries successfully use the attractions of nature to promote tourism in
protected and unprotected areas. The attainment of sustainable tourism requires careful management of
tourists to prevent deleterious effects on the environment, the host community and tourist satisfaction.
The emphasis on conflict management and sustainable development is based on the diligent usage of
available resources, especially in the context of planning, commitment and the involvement of
management as well as the interested parties.
The focus of the study is on ‘Taman Negara’ or National Park in Pahang, Malaysia which is a
protected area of international importance as reflected in its listing as an Association of South East Asian
(ASEAN) Heritage Site (DWNP, 1987). The main goal is to develop synergy and conflict management
among the local government, communities and private sector strategy in order to realize the sustainable
high quality nature based tourism that is promised by Taman Negara. To achieve this goal, the following
objectives will be looked into. First, the characteristics of synergy and conflict among the departments
related to Taman Negara; second, to examine the development by private sector and motivations of
visitors to Taman Negara; third, to explore the issues that impact the local communities and tourists; and
fourth, to ensure the preservation of nature and to promote the concept of sustainable use of resources at
Taman Negara to ensure its sustainability both for the present and the future.
This paper examines the management role of various departments over this national park. Among
the elements examined are the ability to increase the place integrity based on the location, to generate
the local economy and to protect the nature. Without proper management, over time, the number of
visitors would decrease resulting in reduced income. |
