| Summary: | The environment is the backbone of tourism products. Profitability in tourism
depends on maintaining the attractiveness of the tourist destinations. Malaysia
is a tropical wonderland that is substantially rich in a variety of ecological
pursuits and certainly of much tourist potential. Hence, the status of the
environment plays a critical role if the industry is to sustain itself. The
ecotourism concept emphasises the maximisation of the ecological interest
areas. This aspect, while having vast potential for further development and
exploitation, has not received adequate attention in Malaysia. All ecotourism
sites must be planned, guided and exploited in a monitored and controlled
manner for effective and efficient management. A systematic expert rating
system is developed to maintain a certain level of standards based on different
levels of categorisation to ensure the sustainability of ecotourism sites in
Peninsular Malaysia. The expert system developed uses a web-based information sharing platform in line with the existing legislation on safety, health and
environment. The system is designed and developed on a back-end on-line
database, which will keep record of all successful transactions. This paper
presents an efficient model using Active Server Pages scripting method to
manage and deliver the ecotourism rating expert system. |
