Nopparat Thara Beach and Phi Phi Islands in Krabi generated the most revenue from entry fees for the national park agency over the past nine months.
Following
the renovation of facilities and restoration of natural resources, the
Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation (DNP) has
collected Bt1.7 billion in revenue from nationwide national park
admission fees from October 2016 until June 2017, DNP spokesman Sompot
Maneerat said on Wednesday.
Most of the revenue was collected
from the admission fees of Bt428 million at Krabi’s Nopparat Thara Beach
and Phi Phi Islands National Park, followed by Bt299 million at Phang
Nga's Mu Koh Similan National Park.
The DNP is aiming to
generate more revenue from tourism at the national parks and will
allocate the money for the restoration and development of natural
attractions, as the budget from the government is not sufficient.
