INTRODUCTION
Kelong Acheh Resort is one of the resorts in Malaysia that located at the sea. Nowadays the resort becomes more popular especially for the anglers. In bahasa, ‘kelong’ means a place for fishing breeding and it also a fishing area for anglers. But sometimes, it is become one of a technique or a method to catch fish by using tree’s trunk like nibong or bakau as a structure of the system to trap the fish.
Basically, in the beginning, kelong is known as Kelong Ikan Bilis or Fishing kelong that just for fishing breeding area. Because of the concern and demand from the customers, the owner upgraded the area to be as a resort in order to comfort the anglers while waiting for fish. Kelong Acheh now aims to cater not only avid anglers but also visitors & tourists who simply want to have a restful, reflective & relaxing stay by the sea.
Kelong Acheh is surrounded by beautiful islands like Pelanduk Island, Tengah Island, Tunas Island and also Acheh Island which the name had been taken for the kelong to be as Kelong Acheh. It is because, the source of the clear water for the resort are taking from the island.
There are several routes that can be taking to reach Kelong Acheh. From Kuala Lumpur via the North South Highway exit at Senawang Toll Plaza through Kuala Pilah/Bahau and Bandar Muazzam Shah, this route is about a 6 hours drive. Alternatively, continue on the North South Highway and exit at the Air Hitam Toll Plaza and take route 50 to Mersing and turn right at Tanjung Resang junction to Penyabong. This route will also take approximately 6 hours but be ready to fork out a tidy sum for the toll charges. The best and fastest (4 hours) way to Kelong Acheh from Kuala Lumpur is via the East Coast Highway and exit at the Gambang Toll Plaza through Pekan town and via the scenic coastal route 3 through Nenasi, Merchong, Rompin and Endau. This route gives a preview of the beautiful blue seas of the South China Sea once leave Pekan Town.

THREE ISSUES FOR KELONG ACHEH RESORT DEVELOPMENT 2.1
THEME or CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT (Nature based Resort) A theme or a concept of any project developments is very important in order to create the uniqueness of the overall project. The concept that always been used in resort development project are mostly based on the culture (activities) of the surrounding area. But nowadays in Malaysia, the other area or country approaches (culture) are being popular to be used as a concept like Balinese style, Inggeris Style, Japanese style and many more in order to create the difference.
Besides that, the location of the project also can contribute to create the image or identity (characteristic) of the resort. So that, a proper concept planning and the right location of the project are very important aspect in order to make the resort difference with others and at the same time can attract more tourists to experience the site.
2.1.1
Site observation (Inventory)
For the first time arrived at the Penyabong Jetty, we believe that, the resort are quit popular in term of getting tourists especially for the activist anglers. Why we said that because of the surrounding setting of the jetty. There are lots of food stall and the condition of the jetty is good. The size of the jetty is comfortable and quit proper in built. So we believe that, the numbers of tourists or s to the area are quit in a big number.
Actually, the jetty is not only for visitors of the Kelong Acheh Resort, but also been used by the fishermen to bring out the fish that they catch at the sea. Most of the fish will be selling at the market nearby. As an overall concept of the jetty area, we can say that it is a typical jetty like others in Malaysia but nice.
After take a boat ride around 15 to 20 minutes from Penyabong Jetty, and then we arrived at the resort area. Our feeling had been changed. From our observation, the kelong concept of the Kelong Acheh Resort is very unique and just a few resorts in Malaysia used that approach .The concept had been used Page5
2.0
RTK 536 INFRASTRUCTURE AND SERVICES FOR TOURISM PROJECT
because of the historical background of the area; as a finishing area and fishing breeding. It becomes a resort because of the demand from the anglers, who want a kelong with accommodation. So, the concept of the resort actually is not proper in planning. However, the location of the resort that located at the sea had made the resort exclusive in term of the visual quality and services especially for anglers.
Here are some pictures and info that we get from our observation and interviews with one of the shareholder of the resort; Mr. Set H.C in term of the concept of the resort.
Jetty area – shelter where all the catch fish will be gather and will bring out by lorry to be selling at the market nearby.
Jetty area – there are lots of shop lots selling souvenir and food.
The jetty is quit big and proper in built. But the surrounding area having lots of rubbish because of low maintenance.
The concept of the jetty is typical like others in term of design and material that been used. Page6
Penyabong Jetty
RTK 536 INFRASTRUCTURE AND SERVICES FOR TOURISM PROJECT
The jetty is also been used by the fishermen to park their boats.
There is one of the popular stall that selling otak-otak and ‘pulut panggang’ which is one of the popular food in Johor.
Before Kelong Acheh Resort, the name of the area was Kelong Ikan Bilis – the area for fishing and fishing breeding
Kelong Acheh Resort – provided a comfortable space to anglers for fishing.
This area is the first structure that been built, that called kelong. – Area for fishing breeding
The concept of kelong still is remaining even the function of the area had been changed. – Area to catch fish Page7
Kelong Acheh Resort
RTK 536 INFRASTRUCTURE AND SERVICES FOR TOURISM PROJECT
‘Family destination’ is the new concept of the resort – provided space for fishing to the angler’s family.
The resort also provided a small stall for visitors – eating area
The view of accommodation that been provided since the name of kelong been upgraded as a resort
Typical facilities (toilet) been provided to comfort the visitors.
2.1.2
Site analysis (Comments and suggestions)
In our opinion, the concept of a kelong resort is very unique. Moreover, the resort had been develop from a fishing breeding and fishing area (kelong), and then been upgraded as a resort in order to comfort the anglers during they are fishing at that area. And at the same time, nowadays, the area also can cater the angler’s family for having their holiday there.
So, we suggest that the concept of kelong resort should be remaining in order to continue the character. Here are some suggestions in term of concept
Page8
development to the Kelong Acheh Resort. They are:
RTK 536 INFRASTRUCTURE AND SERVICES FOR TOURISM PROJECT
i.
Only used the materials that been used for kelong (tree trunk like nibong) in order to remain the character.
ii.
Remain the nature materials and color. So that it can suit with the surrounding area.
iii.
We suggest that, the resort should be applied a friendly concept in term of waste management and energy usage to make sure the sustainability of the area. It is because, if the cleanliness of the sea water around there not cleans, it will effect the fish population. Then, the concept of kelong will not be work.
2.2
DESIGN of THE KELONG ACHEH RESORT Resort design is very important element in term to show the image of the site. Besides to give an esthetic value, design also can solve other aspects like safety, space arrangement, quality of the site in term of materials used and so on.
2.2.1
Site observation (Inventory)
In our opinion, the design of the resort is simple and typical. But, the concept of kelong itself, make the design of the resort unique. Here are some of our observation and comments about the design of the resort.
Penyabong Jetty
Page9
Basically, the jetty is good in built but several part of the decking are not in well condition because of lack in maintenance. However, the overall design is good.
RTK 536 INFRASTRUCTURE AND SERVICES FOR TOURISM PROJECT
Kelong Acheh Resort
The main structure to build the resort – used nibong trunk as column, make the uniqueness of the resort design. But materials that been used to the structure are steel. It is not practical in term of safety aspect because all steel become rusty.
From the interview with Mr. Set H.C: i.
The maintenance cost estimation is around RM 60,000 – RM100, 000 / year. Kelong management done maintenances by their own because cheaper than hire the contractor.
ii.
Maintenance is done by local people from Rompin – there are specialists in making kelong. (7 – 10 workers needed for maintenance works).
iii.
Maintained by replace the nibong pillar and plank. Nibong pillar durability is 2 year but to be changed every year for safety purposes.
Page10
The jetty at the resort side is not in well in design. It is because, the space for visitors to climb up to the resort and to take out the bags from the boat are too narrow for them to move and at the same time, the stairs are too steep. So, for our opinion, the jetty should be proper in design in term of space for the safety purposes. Moreover, jetty is the first impression for the visitors to determine the resort.
RTK 536 INFRASTRUCTURE AND SERVICES FOR TOURISM PROJECT
Overall design of the resort is very traditional because of the main materials that been used are from the natural elements like nipah leaves (wall and roof – will be change every 3 years) and nibong trunk (pillar). However, the mix woods and colours for certain structure make the resort not in standardize of design.
The facilities that been provided (accommodation and toilet) are simple in design. For the toilet, the colour that been used is blue. For our opinion, it should be nature in colour in order to suit with the surrounding elements and the concept.
The stairs rises are not consistence in height. So, it also can cause hazardous to s. – Not well in design Page11
The floor is not good in condition. The different level of the floor will harm the s.
RTK 536 INFRASTRUCTURE AND SERVICES FOR TOURISM PROJECT
Details construction of the kelong (simple t and electricity wiring – lack of safety consideration).
‘Boya’ located at strategic area (not enough number of ‘boya’ if something happened).
Life jacket and ‘boya’ provided (not located in a room to avoid lost)
Page12
Hardscape elements at Kelong Acheh (water sinky, plastic pots and benches) not in proper maintained and design.
RTK 536 INFRASTRUCTURE AND SERVICES FOR TOURISM PROJECT
Improper landscape design (crowded and imbalanced).
Mix wood used to construct beam and rafter (no standardized in term of design).
Hook provide to easing anglers (enough number of hook).
Page13
Improper store and wash basin cause a bad view (dirty and unclean).
RTK 536 INFRASTRUCTURE AND SERVICES FOR TOURISM PROJECT
Site analysis (Comments and suggestions) From our observation and research the kelong design can be improved by: i.
Concept •
Need to have suitable development concept.
•
Existing concept more too natural and traditional based.
•
Some elements not follow the main concept and show confusion to guest.
•
Priority in design is on wood using and painted with natural colour.
ii.
Construction Materials •
Need to consider standard of Uniform Building by Law (UBBL).
•
Nibong woods as a main column show the natural element at kelong.
•
Nipah leaves used to make kelong roof and wall. Nipah leaves need to tie with wire to avoid it disappeared by wind.
• iii.
Wood can be painted by using shellac (natural colour).
Specification •
Stairs specifications need to consider standard of Uniform Building by Law (UBBL).
•
Railing need to follow specification to avoid hazardous to children’s. Railing also not uniformed in design. Railing t need to be more strengthen and tied up by steel.
iv.
Design •
Life jacket should be located in every room, focal point and at clear seen area.
•
Floor wood arrangement need to be closed. To give privacy to the at the upper rooms.
•
Floor plan of the kelong should be show off in every room, focal point and at clear seen area.
v.
Landscape Design •
Vegetation need to plant in a suitable pots (plastic is recommended because very lightweight).
Page14
2.2.2
RTK 536 INFRASTRUCTURE AND SERVICES FOR TOURISM PROJECT
•
Pots can give good impacts and give sense of harmonious at kelong area.
•
Vegetation
should
be
maintained
well
and
proper
in
arrangements. •
Vegetation should be arranged according to place, texture, colour of plant, plant characteristics and function of each area.
•
Also can introduce climbers plant to give attraction at certain area (can propose trellis and pergola to climber’s plant).
2.3
RECREATIONAL ACTIVITIES Activities are very important element in term to attract people to come to the Kelong Acheh. Besides to give satisfying to anglers, the kelong management should provide activities for their family also.
Site observation (Inventory)
Karaoke is good for release tension and relaxation. The noise from karaoke area cause disturbance to people especially to people stay nearby. The location of karaoke area is not suitable and it can be friendlier if karaoke area is in a room and have an acoustic wall (avoid noisy).
The anglers fishing the whole days without feel bored and patient. The situation is good because the can play role as a security guard in the night. The kelong guest things in the room guaranteed and guest feel more safety. The railing at parameter boundaries are not in well condition and need prominent a safety aspect such as the strength and design.
Page15
2.3.1
RTK 536 INFRASTRUCTURE AND SERVICES FOR TOURISM PROJECT
Dining – food and beverage provided by kelong. Meals are provided by kelong management (included in package). Sea foods are the main menu. But for those who can’t eat sea food, the food such as chicken soup or curry also included in the menu. Drinks provided all the time to guest in the kelong (self service).
Page16
Beach fun – activity at Pulau Acheh (boat provided by kelong). The Pulau Acheh is not like the story that people said. The condition of Pulau Acheh is not in well maintenance. Not many activities can do in this island. The sea water also not so clean and have many sea shells at the beach (cause by wet monsoon season). The responsible authority and kelong management should maintain this area because this island is one of the main activities (tourism product) provided for kelong guest.
Snorkeling – activity at Pulau Acheh (boat provided by kelong). Snorkeling activity not suitable for wet monsoon season because the sea water not clean and clear to sea fish in the sea. The kelong management should inform the guest the activities can be done on every season (give preparation to guest and not blaming the management cause by the lack of activities). The guests who come in the wrong time can’t do their favourite things.
Boat cruise – cruising to beautiful islands that surrounding the kelong. Cruise to a beautiful islands surrounding the kelong is an attractive activities provided by the kelong management. But not all people like to spent their money to this activities because it too expensive. The management should reduce the price to boat cruise activity and promoting the island surrounding the kelong by giving extra information to guest who coming to Kelong Acheh.
Game area – table to play game such as mahjong, carom and card. Game area is prepared especially for guest who no interest in fishing activity. It also was functioning as group activity in group of guest. It can make guest close each other’s or be acquainted with other group of guest. Game equipments are insufficient to accommodate demand from all guests. Guest should queue up to use game equipments. This happen because no fees charge to use game equipment (first come first serve).
BBQ – open decking for this activity. Open deck built for BBQ activities at the Kelong Acheh. It located at the strategic area (focal point), but lacking in term of safety because located near to fishing area. The areas of open deck are comfort to accommodate a big number of s.

INTRODUCTION
Kelong Acheh Resort is one of the resorts in Malaysia that located at the sea. Nowadays the resort becomes more popular especially for the anglers. In bahasa, ‘kelong’ means a place for fishing breeding and it also a fishing area for anglers. But sometimes, it is become one of a technique or a method to catch fish by using tree’s trunk like nibong or bakau as a structure of the system to trap the fish.
Basically, in the beginning, kelong is known as Kelong Ikan Bilis or Fishing kelong that just for fishing breeding area. Because of the concern and demand from the customers, the owner upgraded the area to be as a resort in order to comfort the anglers while waiting for fish. Kelong Acheh now aims to cater not only avid anglers but also visitors & tourists who simply want to have a restful, reflective & relaxing stay by the sea.
Kelong Acheh is surrounded by beautiful islands like Pelanduk Island, Tengah Island, Tunas Island and also Acheh Island which the name had been taken for the kelong to be as Kelong Acheh. It is because, the source of the clear water for the resort are taking from the island.
There are several routes that can be taking to reach Kelong Acheh. From Kuala Lumpur via the North South Highway exit at Senawang Toll Plaza through Kuala Pilah/Bahau and Bandar Muazzam Shah, this route is about a 6 hours drive. Alternatively, continue on the North South Highway and exit at the Air Hitam Toll Plaza and take route 50 to Mersing and turn right at Tanjung Resang junction to Penyabong. This route will also take approximately 6 hours but be ready to fork out a tidy sum for the toll charges. The best and fastest (4 hours) way to Kelong Acheh from Kuala Lumpur is via the East Coast Highway and exit at the Gambang Toll Plaza through Pekan town and via the scenic coastal route 3 through Nenasi, Merchong, Rompin and Endau. This route gives a preview of the beautiful blue seas of the South China Sea once leave Pekan Town.

THREE ISSUES FOR KELONG ACHEH RESORT DEVELOPMENT 2.1
THEME or CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT (Nature based Resort) A theme or a concept of any project developments is very important in order to create the uniqueness of the overall project. The concept that always been used in resort development project are mostly based on the culture (activities) of the surrounding area. But nowadays in Malaysia, the other area or country approaches (culture) are being popular to be used as a concept like Balinese style, Inggeris Style, Japanese style and many more in order to create the difference.
Besides that, the location of the project also can contribute to create the image or identity (characteristic) of the resort. So that, a proper concept planning and the right location of the project are very important aspect in order to make the resort difference with others and at the same time can attract more tourists to experience the site.
2.1.1
Site observation (Inventory)
For the first time arrived at the Penyabong Jetty, we believe that, the resort are quit popular in term of getting tourists especially for the activist anglers. Why we said that because of the surrounding setting of the jetty. There are lots of food stall and the condition of the jetty is good. The size of the jetty is comfortable and quit proper in built. So we believe that, the numbers of tourists or s to the area are quit in a big number.
Actually, the jetty is not only for visitors of the Kelong Acheh Resort, but also been used by the fishermen to bring out the fish that they catch at the sea. Most of the fish will be selling at the market nearby. As an overall concept of the jetty area, we can say that it is a typical jetty like others in Malaysia but nice.
After take a boat ride around 15 to 20 minutes from Penyabong Jetty, and then we arrived at the resort area. Our feeling had been changed. From our observation, the kelong concept of the Kelong Acheh Resort is very unique and just a few resorts in Malaysia used that approach .The concept had been used Page5
2.0
RTK 536 INFRASTRUCTURE AND SERVICES FOR TOURISM PROJECT
because of the historical background of the area; as a finishing area and fishing breeding. It becomes a resort because of the demand from the anglers, who want a kelong with accommodation. So, the concept of the resort actually is not proper in planning. However, the location of the resort that located at the sea had made the resort exclusive in term of the visual quality and services especially for anglers.
Here are some pictures and info that we get from our observation and interviews with one of the shareholder of the resort; Mr. Set H.C in term of the concept of the resort.
Jetty area – shelter where all the catch fish will be gather and will bring out by lorry to be selling at the market nearby.
Jetty area – there are lots of shop lots selling souvenir and food.
The jetty is quit big and proper in built. But the surrounding area having lots of rubbish because of low maintenance.
The concept of the jetty is typical like others in term of design and material that been used. Page6
Penyabong Jetty
RTK 536 INFRASTRUCTURE AND SERVICES FOR TOURISM PROJECT
The jetty is also been used by the fishermen to park their boats.
There is one of the popular stall that selling otak-otak and ‘pulut panggang’ which is one of the popular food in Johor.
Before Kelong Acheh Resort, the name of the area was Kelong Ikan Bilis – the area for fishing and fishing breeding
Kelong Acheh Resort – provided a comfortable space to anglers for fishing.
This area is the first structure that been built, that called kelong. – Area for fishing breeding
The concept of kelong still is remaining even the function of the area had been changed. – Area to catch fish Page7
Kelong Acheh Resort
RTK 536 INFRASTRUCTURE AND SERVICES FOR TOURISM PROJECT
‘Family destination’ is the new concept of the resort – provided space for fishing to the angler’s family.
The resort also provided a small stall for visitors – eating area
The view of accommodation that been provided since the name of kelong been upgraded as a resort
Typical facilities (toilet) been provided to comfort the visitors.
2.1.2
Site analysis (Comments and suggestions)
In our opinion, the concept of a kelong resort is very unique. Moreover, the resort had been develop from a fishing breeding and fishing area (kelong), and then been upgraded as a resort in order to comfort the anglers during they are fishing at that area. And at the same time, nowadays, the area also can cater the angler’s family for having their holiday there.
So, we suggest that the concept of kelong resort should be remaining in order to continue the character. Here are some suggestions in term of concept
Page8
development to the Kelong Acheh Resort. They are:
RTK 536 INFRASTRUCTURE AND SERVICES FOR TOURISM PROJECT
i.
Only used the materials that been used for kelong (tree trunk like nibong) in order to remain the character.
ii.
Remain the nature materials and color. So that it can suit with the surrounding area.
iii.
We suggest that, the resort should be applied a friendly concept in term of waste management and energy usage to make sure the sustainability of the area. It is because, if the cleanliness of the sea water around there not cleans, it will effect the fish population. Then, the concept of kelong will not be work.
2.2
DESIGN of THE KELONG ACHEH RESORT Resort design is very important element in term to show the image of the site. Besides to give an esthetic value, design also can solve other aspects like safety, space arrangement, quality of the site in term of materials used and so on.
2.2.1
Site observation (Inventory)
In our opinion, the design of the resort is simple and typical. But, the concept of kelong itself, make the design of the resort unique. Here are some of our observation and comments about the design of the resort.
Penyabong Jetty
Page9
Basically, the jetty is good in built but several part of the decking are not in well condition because of lack in maintenance. However, the overall design is good.
RTK 536 INFRASTRUCTURE AND SERVICES FOR TOURISM PROJECT
Kelong Acheh Resort
The main structure to build the resort – used nibong trunk as column, make the uniqueness of the resort design. But materials that been used to the structure are steel. It is not practical in term of safety aspect because all steel become rusty.
From the interview with Mr. Set H.C: i.
The maintenance cost estimation is around RM 60,000 – RM100, 000 / year. Kelong management done maintenances by their own because cheaper than hire the contractor.
ii.
Maintenance is done by local people from Rompin – there are specialists in making kelong. (7 – 10 workers needed for maintenance works).
iii.
Maintained by replace the nibong pillar and plank. Nibong pillar durability is 2 year but to be changed every year for safety purposes.
Page10
The jetty at the resort side is not in well in design. It is because, the space for visitors to climb up to the resort and to take out the bags from the boat are too narrow for them to move and at the same time, the stairs are too steep. So, for our opinion, the jetty should be proper in design in term of space for the safety purposes. Moreover, jetty is the first impression for the visitors to determine the resort.
RTK 536 INFRASTRUCTURE AND SERVICES FOR TOURISM PROJECT
Overall design of the resort is very traditional because of the main materials that been used are from the natural elements like nipah leaves (wall and roof – will be change every 3 years) and nibong trunk (pillar). However, the mix woods and colours for certain structure make the resort not in standardize of design.
The facilities that been provided (accommodation and toilet) are simple in design. For the toilet, the colour that been used is blue. For our opinion, it should be nature in colour in order to suit with the surrounding elements and the concept.
The stairs rises are not consistence in height. So, it also can cause hazardous to s. – Not well in design Page11
The floor is not good in condition. The different level of the floor will harm the s.
RTK 536 INFRASTRUCTURE AND SERVICES FOR TOURISM PROJECT
Details construction of the kelong (simple t and electricity wiring – lack of safety consideration).
‘Boya’ located at strategic area (not enough number of ‘boya’ if something happened).
Life jacket and ‘boya’ provided (not located in a room to avoid lost)
Page12
Hardscape elements at Kelong Acheh (water sinky, plastic pots and benches) not in proper maintained and design.
RTK 536 INFRASTRUCTURE AND SERVICES FOR TOURISM PROJECT
Improper landscape design (crowded and imbalanced).
Mix wood used to construct beam and rafter (no standardized in term of design).
Hook provide to easing anglers (enough number of hook).
Page13
Improper store and wash basin cause a bad view (dirty and unclean).
RTK 536 INFRASTRUCTURE AND SERVICES FOR TOURISM PROJECT
Site analysis (Comments and suggestions) From our observation and research the kelong design can be improved by: i.
Concept •
Need to have suitable development concept.
•
Existing concept more too natural and traditional based.
•
Some elements not follow the main concept and show confusion to guest.
•
Priority in design is on wood using and painted with natural colour.
ii.
Construction Materials •
Need to consider standard of Uniform Building by Law (UBBL).
•
Nibong woods as a main column show the natural element at kelong.
•
Nipah leaves used to make kelong roof and wall. Nipah leaves need to tie with wire to avoid it disappeared by wind.
• iii.
Wood can be painted by using shellac (natural colour).
Specification •
Stairs specifications need to consider standard of Uniform Building by Law (UBBL).
•
Railing need to follow specification to avoid hazardous to children’s. Railing also not uniformed in design. Railing t need to be more strengthen and tied up by steel.
iv.
Design •
Life jacket should be located in every room, focal point and at clear seen area.
•
Floor wood arrangement need to be closed. To give privacy to the at the upper rooms.
•
Floor plan of the kelong should be show off in every room, focal point and at clear seen area.
v.
Landscape Design •
Vegetation need to plant in a suitable pots (plastic is recommended because very lightweight).
Page14
2.2.2
RTK 536 INFRASTRUCTURE AND SERVICES FOR TOURISM PROJECT
•
Pots can give good impacts and give sense of harmonious at kelong area.
•
Vegetation
should
be
maintained
well
and
proper
in
arrangements. •
Vegetation should be arranged according to place, texture, colour of plant, plant characteristics and function of each area.
•
Also can introduce climbers plant to give attraction at certain area (can propose trellis and pergola to climber’s plant).
2.3
RECREATIONAL ACTIVITIES Activities are very important element in term to attract people to come to the Kelong Acheh. Besides to give satisfying to anglers, the kelong management should provide activities for their family also.
Site observation (Inventory)
Karaoke is good for release tension and relaxation. The noise from karaoke area cause disturbance to people especially to people stay nearby. The location of karaoke area is not suitable and it can be friendlier if karaoke area is in a room and have an acoustic wall (avoid noisy).
The anglers fishing the whole days without feel bored and patient. The situation is good because the can play role as a security guard in the night. The kelong guest things in the room guaranteed and guest feel more safety. The railing at parameter boundaries are not in well condition and need prominent a safety aspect such as the strength and design.
Page15
2.3.1
RTK 536 INFRASTRUCTURE AND SERVICES FOR TOURISM PROJECT
Dining – food and beverage provided by kelong. Meals are provided by kelong management (included in package). Sea foods are the main menu. But for those who can’t eat sea food, the food such as chicken soup or curry also included in the menu. Drinks provided all the time to guest in the kelong (self service).
Page16
Beach fun – activity at Pulau Acheh (boat provided by kelong). The Pulau Acheh is not like the story that people said. The condition of Pulau Acheh is not in well maintenance. Not many activities can do in this island. The sea water also not so clean and have many sea shells at the beach (cause by wet monsoon season). The responsible authority and kelong management should maintain this area because this island is one of the main activities (tourism product) provided for kelong guest.
Snorkeling – activity at Pulau Acheh (boat provided by kelong). Snorkeling activity not suitable for wet monsoon season because the sea water not clean and clear to sea fish in the sea. The kelong management should inform the guest the activities can be done on every season (give preparation to guest and not blaming the management cause by the lack of activities). The guests who come in the wrong time can’t do their favourite things.
Boat cruise – cruising to beautiful islands that surrounding the kelong. Cruise to a beautiful islands surrounding the kelong is an attractive activities provided by the kelong management. But not all people like to spent their money to this activities because it too expensive. The management should reduce the price to boat cruise activity and promoting the island surrounding the kelong by giving extra information to guest who coming to Kelong Acheh.
Game area – table to play game such as mahjong, carom and card. Game area is prepared especially for guest who no interest in fishing activity. It also was functioning as group activity in group of guest. It can make guest close each other’s or be acquainted with other group of guest. Game equipments are insufficient to accommodate demand from all guests. Guest should queue up to use game equipments. This happen because no fees charge to use game equipment (first come first serve).
BBQ – open decking for this activity. Open deck built for BBQ activities at the Kelong Acheh. It located at the strategic area (focal point), but lacking in term of safety because located near to fishing area. The areas of open deck are comfort to accommodate a big number of s.
