Environmental Impacts
Tourism in Vietnam and Cambodia has lead to many environmental impacts, mainly negative. The temples near Siem Reap are visited by hundreds of thousands of tourists each year, and the lack of conservation policies and visitor regulations means they are getting more and more decrepit with every tourist that visits. Halong Bay, although a recognised UNESCO World Heritage site is very negatively impacted by tourism, mainly by pollution from tourist junk boats and rubbish they leave behind. Thus there is a conflict between the tourism industry and environmental conservationists.
