In this picture you can see a group of local girls trying to sell something to a tourist.
When I saw these young girls harassing the visitors, I had a mixed
feeling. Tourism is bringing money to these people. This money will
change the life of the local people. Quality of life of the future
generations will be much better, but at the same time many traditions
will be lost. I guess this is the price they will have to pay. The same
happens with the Sapa landscapes. In order to accommodate the tourists,
new hotels are being built in and around Sapa. Some of these hotels
respect the local building techniques, but most of them don’t. I wonder
what will locals sell to the visitors, once part of their scenic views
are not here anymore.
