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.
