The Ministry of Environment and Tour Guides Association are working together to better manage tourism in protected areas.
Minister Say Samal said that he held a meeting with tour guides to also identify more protected areas which had the potential for ecotourism.
He said tour guides had to look for areas highly valued for biodiversity conversation which could safely be turned into ecotourism spots through well-managed tours which do not harm the environment.
