Satun ready for UNESCO's inspection on Satun Geopark

 

SATUN, 23 November 2015 (NNT) - Satun provincial authorities are preparing for the arrival of the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) officials who will inspect Satun Geopark. The Thai government earlier sent a request to UNESCO, asking that Satun Geopark be listed as a global geopark. 

Speaking after a meeting with local officials, Satun Governor Pattarapon Rattanapichetchai revealed that the province is ready to welcome the inspection by UNESCO officials. 

Pattarapon said if Satun Geopark met all the UNESCO requirements, it would be officially announced as one of the world’s geoparks by September next year. 

The public will be made aware of the move and English language training will be provided to local tour guides in the wake of increasing visitors. UNESCO's endorsement will promote domestic economic growth and create jobs for people living in the vicinity of Satun Geopark.
