high tourism potential. Hence, the condition of the environment plays a critical role if

emphasises the sites that has potential for ecological interest. Although the ecotourism
industry in Malaysia has vast potential for further development, it has not received
adequate attention. All ecotourism sites must be planned, guided and developed in a
monitored and controlled manner for effective and efficient management. A
systematic expert rating system is developed to maintain a certain level of standards
based on different levels of categorisation to ensure the sustainability of ecotourism
sites in Peninsular Malaysia. The expert system developed uses a Web-based
information-sharing platform consistent with the existing legislation on safety, health
and environment. The system is designed and developed on a back-end on-line database, which will keep record of all successful transactions. This research presents
an efficient model using the Active Server Pages scripting method to manage and
deliver the ecotourism rating expert system.
