breaking ceremony of
 Reef Flats & the new Offices. 
The Re-branding of the park was aimed at improving its identity
towards being a world class attraction for Marine activities and
establishing a globally recognized marine park. As the director of KWS appropriately mentioned "Tourism stakeholders state that our beaches and marine parks are old and tired, how can gods creation ever become that, it is up to us to rejuvenate ourselves, and this is exactly what
we are doing".
