  Lunar New Year days are the proving the most crowded destinations if the year in Vietnam. Looking at the pics on link below, offers you an idea of how over-populated beaches and attractions are with thousands of local Vietnamese among few international arrivals. Such destination use has few inconvenient truths for all: -> Not enjoying beaches or locations due to huge number of visitors at the same time -> Overpriced hotel room rates and local services -> Limited or not available services in most of destinations -> Over visits producing large amount of waste and litter affecting all arrivals Available solutions from tourism experts: * Carrying capacity set up and control (measure maximum number of persons a destination can absorb at one time).
