Compliances of each ecotourism sites showed their differences by the indicators and therefore grouped into grades of ECO 1, ECO 2 and ECO 3. Site 10 was ranked as the highest level of ECO 3 and Site 4, Site 7, Site 8, Site 11, Site 12, Site 13, Site 14 and Site 15 were ranked as the lowest level of ECO 1. Based on the ranking of ecotourism sites, the percentages showed small figures as it have been transformed into certainty factors in order to suit the ranking system for basic module in ESRG website.
