The coastal development will give the positive social impact as to make the place as a tourist attraction areas. For our information, the tourism industry is now the third largest foreign exchange earner after manufacturing and oil gas.


The major assets for support coastal development in this :

• sandy beaches
• scenic offshore islands
• coral reef
• nature habitat

For example, the offshore islands of  Langkawi, Pulau Perhentian, Pulau Redang and Tioman are rapidly gaining popularity as international class tourist destinations.


Besides that, the nature of the new jobs created by tourism in coastal development, people get part time seasonal employment and overall flexible working conditions. Young people and less skilled worked and get the benefit from the job opportunities in tourism.


Because of local policy, makers are very concerned about the issues of quality employment. So we can see that tourism in coastal development can give benefit to the people around there to increase their economy. People also dependent on nature resources in which almost all the activities carried out involved either directly or indirectly in respect of the use of natural resources.
