The existence of these animals adds to exciting activities for visitors, especially children.

"They can get to know the turtles further, there is feed (feeding animals) there too," he said.

Meanwhile, during the holiday season this time the number of visitors to the tourist attraction reached 3,000-4,000 visitors/day for Monday-Friday and 6,000 visitors/day on Saturday and Sunday.

"The increase is significant, around 40-50 percent (compared to outside the holiday season, Red.)," he said.
