Program Sail Belitong pada tahun ini diyakini akan dapat mewujudkan bahwa Belitung berhasil dijadikan destinasi wisata.  Belitung sebagai destinasi wisata ketiga setelah Bali dan Nusa Tenggara, pertama kali dilontarkan oleh Menteri Kebudayaan dan Pariwisata RI Jero Wacik saat membuka acara pesta kembang api di Tanjungpendam akhir 2008 lalu.

”Proses pembangunan pusat keunggulan penelitian bawah laut dunia itu sedang dalam persiapan,” kata Hugua, Bupati Wakatobi, di Wangi-wangi, Wakatobi, Kamis (4/12).

Hugua menyebutkan, Wakatobi layak mengklaim sebagai surga nyata bawah laut di jantung segitiga terumbu karang dunia yang meliputi enam negara, yakni Indonesia, Malaysia, Filipina, Papua Niugini, Pulau Solomon, dan Timor Leste. Taman Nasional Wakatobi memiliki 750 jenis terumbu karang dari 850 jenis terumbu karang di dunia.

”Dari tiga pusat penyelaman kelas dunia, Wakatobi lebih unggul dan menakjubkan. Ini sudah diakui dunia. Karibia hanya punya 50 jenis terumbu karang, sedangkan Laut Merah (Mesir) punya 300 jenis terumbu karang,” jelas Hugua.

Selama ini, peneliti dari sejumlah negara datang ke Wakatobi untuk meneliti biodiversity bawah laut. Bahkan, pada 2009 ratusan peneliti dunia akan mengadakan pertemuan untuk presentasi soal kajian bawah laut di Wakatobi,Sebagai tahap awal, kata Hugua, Pemkab Wakatobi menyiapkan bangunan di Pulau Hoga untuk menjadi laboratorium lahan basah (wetland laboratorium) pada 2009. Untuk sumber energi, dikembangkan dari tenaga air, angin, atau matahari.

Veda Santiaji, Project Leader Joint Program The Nature Conservancy-WWF untuk Taman Nasional Wakatobi, mengatakan sumber daya alam di Wakatobi sangat memungkinkan untuk dimanfaatkan sebagai laboratorium alam yang luar biasa. WWF mengidentifikasi delapan sumber daya alam yang penting di Taman Nasional Wakatobi.

Sumber daya alam di Wakatobi itu meliputi terumbu karang, mangrove, lamun atau padang rumput laut (sea grass), daerah pemijahan ikan, mamalia laut, burung-burung migrasi, peneluran penyu, dan ikan-ikan pesisir. ”Tetapi yang penting, Pemkab Wakatobi harus tegas soal zonasi wilayah yang sudah disepakati,” kata Veda.
