The current management system for ecotourism activities in Bahoi village is not optimal. Collection of fees and marketing of ecotourism products to the wider community has not gone well. Several facilities supporting ecotourism activities have begun to be damaged and destruction of mangroves by the community around Bahoi village is still occurring to this day and ecotourism activities currently only focus on marine tourism.
