Firstly, the massive influx of foreign travelers is often associated with an increase in the level of environmental pollution. Air pollution is one of the most terrible consequences of tourism activities, which is almost derived from tourist transportation, especially by air transportation. According to Kimpee Olivar, air travel from tourists accounts for around 60 percent of total air emissions that leads to the global environmental change, such as photochemical pollution, acid rain, and global warming.( June 2016)
Besides air pollution, inhabitants living near the tourism area also suffers from water pollution affecting directly to the whole living activity of citizens. In tourism field, we can assume that is the responsibility of both tourist actions and poor waste management. Visitors are one of the main factors causing water pollution due to their bad consciousness of protecting the environment. In another word, some visitors still leave litters without obeying the regulation of environmental protection. Besides tourist activity, tourism managers have to take responsibility for their lack of environment control. Unfortunately, Cat Ba national park, one of three largest islands in Viet Nam, faces with the effect of marine pollution. In particular, each summer, Cat Ba Bay is damaged not only by the harmful discharge from those traveling ship and tons of fishing ships but also by the action of disposing a large amount of rubbish into the water without treatment of over 10 floating restaurants.

This location enraged the Viet Cong and they retorted with an intention to impose a quick defeat on the "arrogant" Australians. When the Australians left their powerfully defended positions to seek for the mortar bases, they were ambushed on the 16-17 of august 1966, in which Nui Dat base were under attack from mortars and recoilless rifles.

The Fall of Saigon refers to when the Northern Vietnamese forces invaded Saigon (modern-day Ho Chi Minh City), the capital of South Vietnam and the home of the presidential palace. On that day, South Vietnam surrendered to the communist North, signalling the end of the Vietnam War in April 30, 1975. The Fall of Saigon was a significant event that affected the South Vietnamese people socially as it forced them to flee to another country and to adapt to that country’s culture. This meant there was an increase in refugees and many fled to Australia because it was closer than USA. The Fall of Saigon not only affected Vietnam but Australia as well.
The amount of pollution which hit this particular area was large. The main source that the pollution came from was the factories. Between the 1950’s and 60’s the factories were releasing large amounts of gases, smoke and litter all on the streets and some even entered the waters. Development and infrastructure was also a major change. The development of the stadiums, parks, houses, warehouses have taken up the area of the wetland, reducing its size.

Visiting around Little Saigon, I easily found out that the heart of Little Saigon is located on Bolsa Avenue between Westminster Boulevard and Magnolia Avenue. This is a famous tourist attraction that most Vietnamese people must visit when they travel to California. It is not difficult at all to try Vietnamese traditional cuisines since both sides of the street are packed with restaurants that serve typically traditional foods such as Pho, Egg Rolls, Banh Mi, etc. Furthermore, Vietnamese people also get access to other services such as bank, health care centers, shops, entertainments, legal-aid services and many other services at ease. In addition, major contribution to the fame of Little Saigon is the presence of Asian Garden Mall, which is also called Phuoc Loc Tho.
The Vietnamese names of cities, towns and streets were changed to French names. Significant business tended to be conducted in French, rather than local languages. If not for the climate and people, some parts of Hanoi and Saigon could have been mistaken for parts of Paris, rather than a Southeast Asian capital. However, I had an impression that exactly because of French presence in Vietnam, Saigon (now Ho Chi Minh city) obtained it’s unique eclectic style.
Her brothers, Brother Quang, Brother Vu, and Brother Khoi all love Ha even though sometimes they might not show it.

Most of the waste produced on land is either intentionally or unconsciously discharged into the oceans. Marine pollution and aquatic debris can utterly destroy the oceans causing extinction of the marine creatures. Innovative techniques should be implemented in the law to prevent the marine environment from any further damage. In order to improve the marine environment, the government and the Environment Public Authority of Kuwait should take immediate actions that can influence the society and help in minimizing aquatic debris and pollution. Aquatic littering and marine pollution can be caused by a number of different sources.
“Tourism is now the largest industry in the world by virtually an economic measure, including gross output, value added, employment, capital investment and tax contributions. ”(Wheatcroft,1994).Tourists can be defined as people who travel to and stay in places outside their usual surroundings for more than twenty-four hours and not more than one consecutive year for leisure, business and other purposes by the World Tourism Organization.
