DRN did a story some time ago where the Ministry of Tourism was asking the world to vote for the Komodo Islands as a new world wonder. They were hopeful that gaining such a status would help them raise money from tourism on their islands but their own tourism industry as well as Rangers are speaking out saying they are not prepared for such an influx of tourism and it could cause not only a safety risk to visitors but also cause a huge ecological imbalance in an already fragile eco system. Park Rangers say they do NOT have the infrastructure in place to handle a large influx of visitors to the islands. Last year 45,000 people visited Komodo National Park and this year they expect to far pass their goal of 54,000 people.
