Ha Long Bay is Overrated (Part 1)

[@s2heaRTSs2]

Trash is because of tourist who go there and leave shit everywhere. I was there in 2006, clean as. So sad to see the trash everywhere

[@beepositivewlovelight5213]

😢Imagine not wanting to swim in waters, you had no idea your own people trashed....so sad. Meanwhile Jennie Mae just showed it looking way cleaner than this...smh.

[@anonymousperson2345]

I dont think "overated" is the right word to use. The place is a natural beauty. Trash is a man-made problem. Your comment reflected westerners' mentality.

[@Roadmap2Adventures]

The tour companies are working on reducing plastic waste. They banned any packaged product sales on board. Unfortunately it is still possible to by products from locals that come by in smaller boats and we have also seen some products that tourists won’t typically buy (like packaging of frozen meals). We hope the tour operators continue working with the government to reduce the plastic waste and to educate people!

It sparks a conversation as we can attest. If everyone filters out experiences like that, that doesn’t help either. While I’m sure that tourism unfortunately continues to the pollution, the majority of the trash we saw was from products that tourists typically would not consume. The tour operators also banned single used plastic on board a while ago, which is a great first step in the right direction.

Tourists don't leave such trash behind. On the contrary, all over South East Asia, the Caribbean and even the Mediterranean, it's often the tourists who organize clean-up drives of local beaches and invariably the locals who pollute the environment. Trying to claim the opposite is both deeply dishonest and counterproductive for the countries themselves, as they'll only lose tourists and the income tourism generates. All of the countries of Asia need to launch long-term public education campaigns to teach their populations NOT to litter and how to keep their own environment clean and tidy.
