Tourist destination of Sa Pa destroyed after over construction and wrong development
Tourist minorities spot of Sa Pa in Northern Vietnam had been abused for years without proper control. - Over-construction in both village center & around. - Destruction of environment. - Close to zero sustainability consideration. - Limited community involvement. - Children & street sellers topic unsolved. - Zero carrying capacity studies never applied. Sadly to observe, many potential visitors no longer interested in such spoiled destination, personally heard several returning tourists taking Sa Pa out of their plans. Neither national or provincial authorities taking any action at all, in opposite way other destinations falling on same mistakes. Sure Vietnam and all Lao Cai province residents can do better, solutions available for all topics above. https://e.vnexpress.net/news/readers-views/excitement-turns-to-frustrations-during-trip-to-sa-pa-after-20-years-4557975.html Excitement turns to frustration in Sa Pa after 20 years Aerial view of Sa Pa.
