Peningkatan bilangan pelancong dan pertumbuhan pelancongan massa telah menyebabkan jumlah pelancong yang tidak terkawal, kadangkala melebihi tahap tampungan di kawasan Taman Laut.

Memandangkan snorkeling merupakan aktiviti utama pengunjung ke Taman Laut, kajian ini menilai tahap kepuasan pengunjung terhadap aktiviti snorkeling dengan memilih Taman Laut Pulau Payar sebagai kawasan kajian. Kajian ini juga menentukan bidang pengurusan yang memerlukan penambahbaikan di kawasan kajian.
