Nopparat Thara Beach and Phi Phi Islands in Krabi have generated probably the most revenue from entrance fees to the national park agency over the past nine months.
After renovating facilities and restoring natural resources, the Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation (DNP) collected 1.7 billion tons of revenue from nationwide entrance fees to national parks from October 2016 to June 2017, DNP spokesman Sompot Maneerat said in Wednesday.
Most of the revenue got here from entrance fees of Bt428 million to Krabi’s Nopparat Thara Beach and Phi Phi Islands National Park, followed by entrance fees of Bt299 million to Mu Koh Similan National Park in Phang Nga.
DNP goals to extend revenues from tourism in national parks and can allocate the funds to the renovation and development of natural attractions, because the state budget is insufficient.
