A manifestation of cultural environment invasion

(Baonghean) - Sir, in just over 20 days, the Sunflower Festival will officially take place in Nghia Dan district. This is an opportunity to promote and introduce tourist destinations in Western Nghe An, in which the "main character" of the festival is sunflowers, a unique feature that is expected to create a very strong community effect for Nghe An tourism.

» The first sunflower was plucked by tourists

» So that the Sunflower Festival does not 'bloom early and fade early'!

The first flowers of the season are strong, opening up expectations for a brilliant flowering season.

- However, you know, while everyone is waiting every day to come to the sunflower field of about 80 hectares this year, there is a phenomenon of some people breaking the first flowers of the season.

- That's right, when the press announced that the first flower had appeared in the flower field in Western Nghe An, almost everyone was excited and hopeful. Even these days, the number of tourists visiting the sunflower field has begun to show signs of a sudden increase. Just look on Facebook and you will know. This shows the attraction of the flower to tourists.

- Is the phenomenon of reenacting a bad scenario reenacting the scene of trampling on flowers and destroying flower trees like a short clip that took place during the 2015 flower season that caused a strong public reaction?

A flower broken by a thoughtless person.

- It's almost the same. While everyone wants to have a beautiful souvenir photo during their trip, there are "tourists" who are "nomads" and lack culture. Some people, in order to take beautiful photos for themselves, do not hesitate to damage some flowers. As in the clip that appeared in 2015, some young people even calmly trampled, danced and punched sunflowers. Those people not only did not realize their wrongdoings but also smiled and took "selfies" so that their companions could take photos and film them, making many locals and many tourists angry.

- Yes, I also heard that right at the flower field, although the staff often remind visitors not to step on the flowers while taking pictures and there are warning signs about this. However, almost after each group of tourists leave the garden, many small areas of flowers are still trampled and broken, making it even more obvious that the flowers are destroyed by human feet.

- Nature has bestowed upon Western Nghe An a beautiful land. And the natives of Nghe An, who love the beauty of Western Nghe An, have contributed to creating seasons of flowers blooming with fragrance and color. Yet some people, mainly young people, have shown deviant and uncultured behavior when dealing with the landscape of their homeland. Some groups of visitors have shown a lack of collective consciousness, only knowing how to create beauty for themselves without preserving the landscape for the groups of visitors who come after them.

- I think that the acts of picking sunflowers, trampling or crowding, causing them to fall and affecting the flower plants in the flower field are also a manifestation of "cultural environmental pollution" that needs to be corrected, overcome, and have a coordinated form to promptly punish, in order to prevent the above uncultured acts.

"Trash" from inconsiderate tourists affects the scenery of the flower field.

- I think so too! While the sunflower festival is approaching, to serve the needs of a large number of tourists from near and far, and at the same time overcome shortcomings to create a beautiful impression for Nghe An, local authorities need to coordinate with TH Milk Joint Stock Company to proactively review damaged flower areas to replace them with spare flower plants, promptly replant trampled areas, and ensure the maintenance of sunflower areas at planned locations.

In addition, in addition to propaganda and education for tourists, it is necessary to apply sanctions against acts of destroying tourist landscapes such as mobilizing security forces of Nghia Son and Nghia Lam communes (where the flower garden is located) to protect and ensure the safety of visitors, avoid vandalism, and impose financial penalties on the spot for violations.

- That's right, sunflowers are a flower with natural beauty, symbolizing the desire for the future, for bright and beautiful things. Therefore, in addition to the efforts of the authorities, agencies and people in charge, each local person as well as each tourist when visiting also needs to raise their awareness to protect the beauty of the flower fields, and it is also a festival that is expected to become a beautiful cultural practice in Nghe An in the new era.
