PHUKET: Local marine conservation group Go Eco Phuket have sent a formal request to the Department of Tourism in Bangkok requesting they revoke the licences of tour companies and guides caught breaking environmental laws.

 

Speaking to The Phuket News today (Dec 22), Ittiput Schadt, Secretary of Go Eco Phuket, said, “We have provided a lot of information such as photos and videos to relevant agencies on tour companies and guides that break environmental laws, but so far our complaints have been ignored. Therefore, we have now taken the matter up direct with the Department of Tourism in Bangkok.

 

“We sent details of our complaints to Anan Wongbenjarat, Director-General of the Department of Tourism, which comes under the Ministry of Tourism and Sports last week, and have been notified that the Department of Tourism will hold an official meeting next week to discuss the possibility of revoking these bad companies and guides licences,” he said.

What is the chap on the picture doing that is not environmentally correct ? Is he taking an underwater dump and dropping a big load or what ?

 

Should explain better please, as all readers are not pro-divers or marine biologists !
