Construction of Visitor’s Center at Nan Madol Ruins in FSM

The Nan Madol Ruins are comprised of approximately 100 man-made islands, and is the largest of its scale in the Pacific region. It was designated as a World Heritage site in July 2016, while simultaneously listed as a “World Heritage in Danger”. The primary reason for this title was a poor preservation system coupled with a lack of a proper management and operations system. The construction of the Visitor’s Center aims not only to protect the Ruins, but also manage the number of visitors, train special guides to give tours of the site, and promote understanding of the ruins in locals and visitors to the site alike.
The Center is currently preparing for opening to the public, however there is no set date for general opening as of the time of publication of this article.
