  • (RMP) Malaysia by Shamsul
    The Use of Choice Modelling in Assessing Tourists Destinations: A Case Study of Redang Marine Park (RMP) Malaysia by Shamsul Bahrain Rawi BSc. Economics, San Jose State University, California MSc. Economics and Social Policy Analysis, University of York A thesis submitted to the Newcastle University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Architecture, Planning and Landscape June 2012 ABSTRACT This study employs the Choice Modelling (CM) Technique, in particular the Contingent Ranking (CR) method, to measure the economic value of the Redang Marine Park (RMP) system in Malaysia. The reason for using CR is to understand which islands in the RMP system the tourists prefer. Knowing the islands’ ranking is crucial for the planning and development of this particular island as a tourism product and destination, and at the same time, for maintaining the islands’ ecosystem as a protected area. The study is divided into three major components. The first investigates destination choices amongst tourists. In this component, the attributes of interest include choices of island, types of accommodation available at the destination, facilities provided at the place of accommodation, distance of accommodation sites to the beach, and types of transportation used to reach the destination. These attributes are measured using the 3-day/2-night (3D2N) package prices offered as holiday packages to tourists. The second component measures the importance of environmental attributes, namely the status of available fish and coral species, the numbers of nesting turtles and the degree of congestion that the tourists experience while participating in water activities such as snorkelling and diving. These attributes are measured through the conservation fees collected by the park authority from tourists visiting RMP.

  • 5Th International Marine Conservation Congress
    PROGRAM i ii iii About the Conference After the first (1997) and second (2001) Symposia on Marine Conservation Biology confirmed the large number of marine conservation biologists interested in furthering marine science, research and public pol- icy, a group of marine professionals organized a formal society for marine conservation biology. After much discussion, this group accepted an invitation from the Society for Conservation Biology (SCB) to become one of their ’sections’. The SCB Marine Section now provides a home for marine conservation biology in order to further marine conservation science, research and public policy. The Section’s flagship meeting is the biennial International Marine Conservation Congress (IMCC). Previous IMCCs have been held in Washington D.C - USA (2009), Victoria - Canada (2011), Glasgow, UK (2014), and St. John’s - Canada (2016). IMCC5, to be held in Kuching - Malaysia (2018) will be the first iteration of the meeting to be held in a country defined by the World Bank as either "low income" or "middle income". The SCB Marine Section very much hope this move will open the meeting up to more delegates from such countries, who have historically found it harder to attend IMCCs due to high travel and subsistence costs. We believe marine conservation can only be successful at a global scale when a truly global community is working together on marine conservation issues. iv Supporters and Sponsors Supported By: Leatherback Turtle Platinum Sponsor: Saltwater Crocodile Gold Sponsor: Silver Dugong Sponsors: Bronze Staghorn Coral Sponsors: v Organizing Committee Chair Dr. Edward Hind-Ozan (SCB Marine Section President Elect) Deputy Chairs Holly Niner (SCB Marine Section Secretary) Sophia Wassermann (SCB Marine Section Student Officer) Steering Committee Members Dr.

The territorial waters of Terengganu Central are demarcated by the protected boundaries of the marine parks, namely Redang, Lang Tengah and Kapas Islands. These three marine park islands are major ecotourism destinations in Central Terengganu, but the development that has been carried out on the islands and areas surroundings their gateways in the mainland, to some extent, is not integrated and sustainable. The purpose of this study is to seek the answers to what extent the current and future development trends in Central Terengganu have addressed the multiple competing and conflicting uses related to socioeconomic development, marine/ocean governance and conservation.
