World wonder Ha Long Bay is about to become a landfill

Recently, many tourists have complained about the pollution of Ha Long Bay, some say that the world wonder is turning into a garbage dump...

According to the feedback of many tourists, when visiting Ha Long Bay they bought tickets at 600,000 VND/person, but the sad thing is that this world wonder is being seriously polluted.

Mr. H, a tour guide, said: This situation has existed for many years. Many tourists have complained and the press has also spent a lot of ink, but I don't understand why it still exists.

There are also opinions that it is not that the Ha Long Bay Management Board does not know about this problem, because they have proposed a number of solutions such as inspecting, checking, and handling acts of encroachment on the ecological environment, organizing the signing of commitments to protect the landscape and heritage environment for organizations and individuals with socio-economic development activities on and around Ha Long Bay, or organizing the collection and transportation to shore for treatment of domestic waste...

However, the current reality shows that these solutions are clearly not really effective, leading to a “trash Ha Long Bay” that is not worthy of the title of world wonder. It is time for the leaders of Quang Ninh province, especially the Ha Long Bay Management Board, to have stronger and more effective solutions to attract tourists to Ha Long.

First is the treatment of waste sources, domestic wastewater as well as waste from factories, enterprises, and coal mines around the Bay, which have long been discharged directly into the Bay without treatment.

Next is dealing with the garbage from cruise ships floating in the Bay, not to mention the situation where tourists lack awareness and traders still carelessly litter every hour of every day.

It is time for Quang Ninh Province to clearly define the responsibility of the Ha Long Bay Heritage Management Board for collecting floating waste in Ha Long Bay and maintaining environmental hygiene in the heritage area of ​​Ha Long City and related localities. The environmental protection of Ha Long Bay is in dire need of appropriate steps such as socializing the transfer of coastal areas of the Bay to localities, businesses, especially organizations responsible for collecting and treating waste.
