Where are the tourist attractions with serious ecological problems?

The residence of Badong people in Thailand

Controversy: government oppression of tribal people

About 6.5438+0.2 million people in Thailand belong to mountain tribes, but some international rights organizations point out that about 500,000 of them are not Thai citizens because they have no land, no voting rights and no medical insurance subsidies in Thailand. The Badong nationality, located near Chiang Rai, has always been regarded as a tribe of long-necked women. Tribes living in artificial mountains exist only to attract tourists. These women wear heavy copper rings around their necks for a long time, which leads to the deformation of sternum and shoulders and the illusion of long necks. Some people say that tourism enables them to maintain their own cultural traditions, but others think that tourism exchanges poor women without state protection for money, and almost all the money goes into the pockets of travel agencies. Imagine that if these women can leave here freely, their situation may be improved.

Machu picchu

Controversy: the destruction of historical sites

So far, Machu Picchu is the most popular tourist attraction in Peru and the place where the country earns the most foreign exchange. But many people think that these ruins can't carry so many tourists. At present, Peruvian officials stipulate that up to 2,500 people can visit here every day. Whether on foot or by car, most people will climb this 8200-foot-high ancient city, which is actually beyond the capacity of the ancient city. However, the number of tourists grows at a rate of 6% every year, and the ancient city collapses a little with every step taken by tourists. In 2008, the World Heritage Organization pointed out that Machu Picchu's ecology has been seriously damaged, and if the number of tourists is not limited, it may become a victim of Peru's economy.

Indian slums

Controversy: invasion of privacy

The streets here are dirty and smelly, but why do so many tourists come here? Perhaps part of it can be attributed to its true reflection in the film Slumdog Millionaire, and even the little actors in it were born here. However, it is an inconvenient place that tourists have never experienced. The crowded shacks attracted countless tourists. As long as 1 1 USD, you can visit industrial areas and residential areas. Although the money is said to subsidize them, many people question whether it is moral to spy on the poverty and struggle of the poorest people even if the money is paid.

Laos Wanrong

Controversy: Death of tourists

When Wan Rong is mentioned, what people can most associate with is drugs, death and drowning. This riverside town is one of the most dangerous tourist attractions in Asia. In just 20 12 a year, 22 tourists died of drugs, alcoholism and drowning. Last September, the government closed several riverside bars, but with little success. Wanrong's drugs and alcohol make everyone controversial.

Ukrainian Plyatt

Controversy: Potential health hazards

Puli Piater town was founded in 1970, where the families of workers in Chernobyl nuclear power plant live. 1986, the Chernobyl nuclear power plant exploded, and the radiation in this area was 400 times that of Hiroshima, Japan. Countless people died directly or indirectly. It is said that the original appearance of the town after the nuclear leak was well preserved. So, a tour group organized a tour of the town, and all the tourists were forced to sign the guarantee. All the health problems after traveling have nothing to do with the travel agency.

Lower District 9, New Orleans, USA

Controversy: invasion of privacy

In the weeks after Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans, some tour groups led a group of tourists into Lower District 9, strolling through the ruined streets, and making a so-called "Katrina trip". Even though the city Council banned tour groups from entering residential areas, the resolution was not strictly enforced. A city councilor thinks that residents are like animals for people to watch in the zoo, and this kind of travel makes them feel ashamed. Local residents hate this form of tourism.

The Galois of andaman islands.

Controversy: contempt for human rights

In 20 10, Survival International, a tribal rights protection organization, exposed for the first time that the tourism industry in this area flouted human rights. A video released by the media accused the officials of the Amanda Islands of guiding tourists into the jungle of Garova Tribal Reserve for a so-called "human flesh hunting trip". The tour guide threw broken cold rice at the half-naked tribal men and ordered them to dance for tourists to take pictures. Fortunately, the Supreme Court of India has now banned all such tourism projects and set aside a 5 km wide buffer zone to protect local aborigines. However, there are still reports that this kind of tourism project continues.

Antarctica

Controversy: environmental damage

It is far from the secular, desolate and snowy; This is the home of penguins and the real border of mankind. Here, you can feel nature and the power of nature. But is it ethical to travel here? Once upon a time, there was no one here except the fearless scientific community and explorers. But coming here now is definitely easier than you think. This quarter, 35,000 people visited the South Pole. Compared with the most popular population of 46,000 in 2007, this is because people are worried that the germs or seeds carried by tourists may destroy Antarctica's fragile ecosystem. However, current tourism will still bring environmental damage to Antarctica.
