The increased number of tourists has put more pressure on the environment. For sustainable development of the tourism sector, greater awareness on environment protection is necessary.

In tourism season, each day, My Khe beach in Quang Ngai city attracts thousands of tourists, facilitating activities for four enterprises and 40 traders’ families. To ensure the quality of the environment, according to Truong Thanh Thao, Chairman of the Tinh Khe communal People’s Committee, a majority of traders have constructed sealed pits to deal with waste instead of discharging it into the environment.

He added that over the past two years, a team financed by the local authority had worked to collect waste from My Khe beach to be dealt with by the Quang Ngai city Urban and Environment Company. 

In Sa Ky port area, since early June, the port management board has worked with inspectors from the provincial Department of Transport and local authorities to collect waste and fine residents who discharge waste into the environment.

“Now, waste discharging around the port has been eliminated,” said Le Tan Hai, Director of the port management board.

The White Waterfall
In White Waterfall tourism area in Minh Long district, close attention has been paid to environmental protection. According to Nguyen Khanh Phuong, Director of the Whie Waterfall Limited Company, since the beginning of this year, some 30,000 tourists have visited the site, an increase of 30% over the same period last year.

“One of the impressions left on tourists is that the environment is kept clean and beautiful,” he said, adding that connecting tourism business with environmental protection is indispensable for sustainable tourism development./.
