Activities
Providing knowledge of marine resources is one method to encourage local people and tourists in
conservation and to be conscious of marine resources.
EMCOR performed an operation at EMCOR Information Center at February, 2004.
The information center comprised fiberglass models of
endangered species, similar as in nature and used multimedia displays.
The result of the operation
indicated that the information center was attractive to visitors.
Thai visitors were a large proportion of total visitors.
The number of visitors increased in the high season.
In future planning, the information center will be added into guide books and provide displays in English language to increase visitor
numbers.
