| description | Sustainability is key to any long term eco-tourism development and particular performance indicators may be
developed and applied to monitor the sustainable development of unique eco-tourism attractions. Jeram Linang
Amenity Forest is unique in its scenic waterfalls, flora and fauna, and elevated river flows. This study examined the
level of sustainable development of this Kelantan’s eco-tourism resource based on visitors’ perceptions of
sustainable indicators set by the World Tourism Organisation (WTO). A total of 140 respondents participated in this
study. The study found waste dumping as a major problem in this amenity forest where the littering by irresponsible
visitors had lead to the destruction of its beautiful scenery. Open burning within the area vicinity was also found to
be undermining the pristine state of the forest despite its being a protected area under the jurisdiction of Ulu Sat
Forest Reserve. All this point to the imperative of well planned and well executed remedial actions involving all
stakeholders. |
