2潜水区3岛屿尚开放‧吉芭雅岛仅局部封锁
2潜水区3岛屿尚开放‧吉芭雅岛仅局部封锁
吉打芭雅岛未封岛！
芭雅岛共有5个潜水区，只有3个因珊瑚礁白化问题较严重，而暂时关闭3个月。
吉打、登嘉楼、彭亨3州包括芭雅岛在內的12个潜水胜地，暂时关闭3个月的新闻见报后，许多民眾误以为芭雅岛已全面封岛，所以纷纷致电《星洲日报》查问。
针对此事，吉打州海洋公园局主任哈密受询时解释，芭雅岛只是一个统称，在这个位於大马半岛与浮罗交怡之间的海域，共有4座岛屿被宪报为海洋公园。
这4座岛屿，分別是面积最大的芭雅岛，以及伦武岛（Pulau Lembu）、（Pulau Kaca）、史甘当岛（Pulau Segantang）。
因此，他促请游客放心，芭雅岛並没有全面被封锁，还有2个潜水区继续开放，以及其他3座岛屿同样开放给游客前往浮潜或潜水。
哈密：岸上观看不许下水
游客仍可到沙滩活动
据瞭解，芭雅岛有3个原有潜水区，即直落旺宜、达迈沙滩及珊瑚公园，游客已禁止下水浮潜或潜水，也涵盖芭雅岛码头的游客区及左侧的沙滩。
哈密说，游客乘船抵达芭雅岛码头后，仍然可以前往沙滩，但只许在岸上观看活动如拍照等，游客不许下水；若要浮潜或浮水则须乘船到其他特定的开放地区。
业者：芭雅岛局部关闭潜水区
租船业绩影响不大
另一方面，经营租船及戴游客到芭雅岛的业者弗兹说，他相信芭雅岛局部关闭潜水区的事件，不会对其业绩造成太多影响，不过交怡区的业者受到的衝击比较大。
他说，租船业绩胥视游客预定，以前旺季每月平均有4趟或更多趟到芭雅岛，每趟约1400令吉，船只可载12个人，上午9点启程至下午3点回返。
不过，有时较人数较少时，则是以小船载送，视游客要求弹性处理。
“除了到潜水区，也有钓鱼爱好者租船，到距离芭雅岛海洋公园2海里以外的海域钓鱼。”

4方向发展玻州‧打造最北旅游终点
黄燕燕：4方向发展玻州‧打造最北旅游终点
旅游部长拿督黄燕燕欲打造玻璃市为“马来西亚最北方的旅游终点”，藉旅游业的商机，对外增加宣传，提昇玻璃市的发展和名望。
她特別提出4大发展方向，除了以上构思，还包括提昇加央港口码头、改造加基武吉暗窿为花卉园，以及积极推动为玻州量身订办的活动。
她坦言，玻璃市是一个风光明媚的州属，只可惜缺乏发展，生活脚步也较为缓慢，这是时候为它注入新生命！
她週四（7月22日）在百大年酒家，与马华玻州中央代表会面时，也带同玻州旅游局主任法丽娜及官员交流。在场者包括马华玻州联委会主席傅子初州议员、署理主席拿督黄雅兰、副主席叶新安州议员、妇女组主席黄金莲、马青分团团长张华清。
著重稻米丰收放风箏
黄燕燕说，玻州是继吉打的另一个稻米之乡，往往这一点却被忽略，因此活动可著重於稻米丰收、放风箏等相关玻州子民专有概念活动。
她的初步建议包括“2010年玻璃市丰收嘉年华”以及“旅游大马之玻璃市全民舞蹈嘉年华”，並说明只要善用现有的环境，如收割后的稻田、鲜少有人参观的哥打加央博物馆等，能趁机推动玻州旅游景点。
黄燕燕也指示舞蹈嘉年华，交由黄雅兰及黄金莲配合玻州旅游局共同推动。
直接拨款各区会
配合民间办大扫除
旅游部將会直接拨款给玻州各区会，配合区內的非政府组织进行地方性大扫除，同时推动旅游业，带动全民动起来！
黄燕燕说，大马去年平均每週有10亿令吉旅游业收入，希望2020宏愿年能达1680亿令吉，当然这应推动全国各地旅游业发展，才能共同达致目標。
她认为，单靠旅游部推动並不足够，灌输人民保持文明社会思想，保持五星级的环境整洁，即使旅游景点的设备未达五星级，已能够吸引游客的目光。
黄燕燕提出旅游部发展玻璃市四大方向
1.打造玻璃市为“马来西亚最北方的旅游终点”。
－玻璃市位於马来西亚半岛最北部，最吸引人之处是环境清幽。耕种为主要经济活动，有相当浓厚的乡村气息。主要市镇包括加央、亚娄、加央港口及巴东勿剎。
2.提昇加央港口码头。
－除了吉打港口，这里就是游客往来浮罗交怡的另一选择，所以有必要提昇基本设备。
3.改造加基武吉暗窿为花卉园。
－暗窿早期为採锡开发的山洞，与森林保护区毗邻，加上当地以树木为主，加以美化为花卉园，更为吸引。
4.积极推动为玻州量身订办的活动。
－“2010年玻璃市丰收嘉年华”在收割后的稻田上办活动，如营火会、放风箏等；“旅游大马之玻璃市全民舞蹈嘉年华”在哥打加央博物馆空地举行舞蹈活动，甚至可每週承办，鼓励妇女参与活动。
