Yeahโผ๏ธย SiennyLovesDrawingย ๐ฉ๐ปย has recently travelled to Taman Negaraย ๐ณ๐ณย (aka National Parkย ๐ณ๐ณย ) Pahang, Malaysia ๐ฒ๐พ with MITA business networking trip & enjoyed her back to nature ๐ย stay ๐๐ฟ๐ฝ๐ด๐ค at Han Rainforest Resort ๐ก๐๐ก
She ๐ฉ๐ป had a privilege to meet & enjoyed an inspiring chat ๐ฃ๐ค with the founder of the resort๐ก๐๐ก, Mr Kenny Ng ๐จ๐ปโ๐ผ(Uncle Kenny) about his nature ๐ย ๐ย passion & resort busines journey
Oppsss…SiennyLovesDrawing ๐ฉ๐ป has forgot ๐คฆ๐ปโโ๏ธ to have a photo ๐ธ with Uncle Kennyย ๐จ๐ปโ๐ผย during this trip
He ๐จ๐ปโ๐ผ has generously shared an article โ๐ป๐wrote by him & SiennyLovesDrawing ๐ฉ๐ป would like to share ๐ฉ๐ปโ๐ป๐ it here, inclusion of her favourite โค๏ธ emojisss & capturesss ๐ธ in between ๐๐
๐คย ~ Sharing is caring as always ~~ ๐ค
Taman Negara๐ณ๐ณ, situated in the heart โค๏ธof Pahang, Malaysia ๐ฒ๐พ , is 1๏ธโฃ of the oldest rainforest ๐ณ๐ณ in the world ๐บ๐ at 130 million years old
Within it, lays a geographical ๐ wonder of permanently untouched & protected habitat for flora ๐ณ๐ฑ๐ฟ๐บ & fauna ๐ฆ๐๐ ๐ to florish to all its glory
As such, this a perfect ๐๐ป platform for the development of a hub towards the education of conservation of the ecology surrounding Taman Negara & rainforests in general ๐ณ๐ณ
We strongly believe that Taman Negara ๐ณ๐ณ has the potential to be a global ๐บ๐ platform for the both Eco & Adventure education tourism centre ๐
My ๐จ๐ปโ๐ผ humble beginnings of 30 plus years specialising in tourism at Taman Negara ๐ณ๐ณ & the handling of some 1๏ธโฃ million over tourists ๐ซ๐ญ๐ฌ since day 1๏ธโฃ, has led me ๐จ๐ปโ๐ผ to the formation of 2๏ธโฃ travel agencies (NKS & Han Travel) & a resort ๐ก๐๐ก with the biggest room capacity at Kuala Tahan. We average 30k tourists ๐ฌ๐ซ๐ญ a year & 90% of them are from Europe ๐ฌ๐ง ๐ฎ๐น ๐ฉ๐ช ๐๐บ
It has come to a time, where I ๐จ๐ปโ๐ผ feel personally, having been in this trade for 30 odd years, it is time to educate the younger generation ๐ง๐ป๐ง๐ป๐ฆ๐ป๐ง๐ป & anyone from all walks of life willing to learn about the conservation ๐ of the ecology & its surroundings
We at Han Travel, have formed 2๏ธโฃ new ๐ arms in our corporation to execute the upcoming programs called Eco Adventure Tourism ๐๐
This will be encased with the educational arm named the Eco Educational Tourism, headed by Mr Frank Kee & his team ๐๐ปโโ๏ธ๐๐ปโโ๏ธ๐๐ปโโ๏ธ๐๐ปโโ๏ธ & in support ๐ช๐ป with the activities provided by the Adventure Management Tourism headed by Mr Kevin Bateman & his team ๐๐ฝโโ๏ธ๐๐ปโโ๏ธ๐๐ปโโ๏ธ๐๐ปโโ๏ธ
Just 1๏ธโฃ of our examples for the educational program is the re-planting of bamboo ๐๐or specific trees ๐ณ๐ณ by badly eroded areas in the effort to prevent further damage to the riversides ๐ฆ๐ง
This is just an example of what we would provide as a CSR initiative ๐
We shall be working closely with the Sultan Ahmad Environmental foundation ๐ in its efforts, participate & uphold its values ๐
Alas, with our planning & preparation, we now realise that we face a huge stumbling block ๐ฅ๐ We do not a permanent site to conduct our activities in a conducive & safe manner ๐
Also, current rules & regulations by the government sectors should be looked at & revised to enable operators like us ๐ญ๐ซ๐ฌ to introduce & execute the mutually beneficial conservational education programs ๐๐
In the extended period, the efforts will benefit not just the environment ๐๐ณ๐ but also creating employment opportunity to the locals within its surroundings ๐ญ๐ฌ๐ซ
I๐จ๐ปโ๐ผnow urge, the Pahang state Government, Ministry of Tourism & other related government agencies to assist us in paving the way into this journey with us ๐๐ป๐ค๐๐ป๐๐ป
Other Asian countries are already promoting their countrysโ tagline, for example;-
- Thailand ๐น๐ญ ~ Culture tourism
- Indonesia ๐ฎ๐ฉ ~ Art tourism
- Philippines ๐ต๐ญ ~ Diving tourism
- Malaysia ๐ฒ๐พ ~ Eco & Adventure tourism
All told, our Ministry of Tourism Malaysia ๐ฒ๐พ have also set their vision ๐ญ on Eco Tourism ๐ with its plans & implementation of its program from 2025 & continued focusing till 2050
Han Travel Sdn Bhd, is now at the final phases of the planning & is almost ready to launch our initial program on Eco & Adventure Tourism ๐๐ The launch pad & operations will be at the Han Rainforest Resort, Kuala Tahan ๐ก๐๐ก
We hope our efforts will promote & drive the state of Pahang to be model state & also the centre of Ecological ๐ Awareness & the centre for the Education on Rainforest Preservation ๐ณ๐ณ
Once again, I ๐จ๐ปโ๐ผ believe that our vision is in line with the Pahang State governmentโs. Developing a fully functioning centre where the education of the ecology ๐ can spread to all walks of life through an experiential process where participants ๐ซ๐ญ๐ฌ can touch, feel, smell, see and hear the importance of the ecology ๐around us & the threats to its and our existence ๐๐
Thank you ๐๐ป
