Potential of new caves

All visitors from domestic or foreign want to see unspoilt landscape which remains pure beauty. Therefore, in the future, these new caves will attract many tourists contributing to the overall attraction of Halong Bay.

Disadvantages

However, some people concern about the overload of tourists in near future because it certainly brings many disadvantages about environment, geomorphology or the originality of the landscape

It does not mean that we will “blockade” the recently discovered caves in Halong for conservation because we still need to respect the right to visit World Heritages of community and local tourism development needs.

Measures

In fact, a series of measures the Management Board of Halong Bay has implemented in recent years also bring hopes for conservationists. That is the first step to put an end for seaward encroachment to construct urban and too near bay coal mining and put “garbage collector” ship system by clean fuel in use.

However, they are the first steps to move on to the strategy of sustainable tourism development in long term. 23 new caves discovery in this time will bring both advantages and disadvantages for Halong.
