The Krau Wildlife Reserve is a reserve for wildlife, and its present purpose is for the conservation of biological diversity. At present, there is very little tourism allowed in the reserve. If a national park had been created development for tourists within the reserve would have been possible.
However as it is in a wild life reserve (IUCN class IV) it is reserved for ecosystem management and research. Tourism will however be allowed in the buffer zone, outside the reserve. Recreational activities will include nature watching, trekking, camping and canoeing. In addition, the captive breeding centres for gaur and trained elephants present additional visitor interest.

"Krau is a most obvious choice to become a national park but due to commercial reasons related to Taman Negara, I think tht's the reason why its not a national park till today. I 've always wanted to trek the inner parts of Krau but guess thats not possible.." by Jaycee
