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!

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.

Looked good but as vegetarian dish ?) Then farther down the route overnight net day back to start. The water and shores has plastic waste floating around everywhere.

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.
Even da Nang after the weekend Vietnamese tourists have visited, trash all over the beach. Plastic cups, cigarette butts, trash. I live here. It's disgusting. Stop ruining your country. Change your thinking.. Young people are doing the right thing, I've seen them on the beach picking up the trash The young educated people will change and shape Vietnam. I'm so humbled by them. The ones who litter, shame on you. Learn to respect your country. Show respect to others who use it too.

We went there many years ago and it was clean. Sad to see the trash. Hope the authorities put in more effort to highlight the situation to visitors and clean it up. The natural beauty is just so beautiful and will be such a waste to let the litter mar its beauty.

100%. Was there for a 2 night cruise last week and there was a lot of trash in the water. Both kayaking beach/swimming trips we did everyone just spent time picking up litter from the beach and water. You wouldn’t swim in the water for the litter and also all the oil/fuel on the surface from little boats. Rubbish is from locals and fisherman eg polystyrene containers degrading, as well as just being sea debris.
