Economic impacts
Many positive and negative economic impacts were evident on my trip. Tourism has provided the people of Vietnam and Cambodia with a way in which to diversify their economic base since the recent wars and civil unrest that has ravaged both countries. The many jobs it has created however, can be argued to be ‘bad’ as they are reliant on seasonality and there is high competition between hotels and tourist attractions, thus leading to very low incomes.
