VietNamNet Bridge - More than 80 tourists recently visited and picked up rubbish atl famous tourist sites on the islands of Ly Son in the central province of Quang Ngai.

Rubbish on Ly Son island.

Ly Son is an attractive and interesting tourist destination but many travelers complain that they saw garbage everywhere, along the embankments around the island and at famous tourist attractions such as Cau Cave, To Vo gate, Hang Pagoda, and Duc Temple.

With the desire to improve the environment on the island and raise awareness of tourists, travel firm Viet Mark has designed a special tour to Ly Son, which combines sightseeing with collecting garbage and pulling weeds in garlic fields with local people. 

The first tour of over 80 people, mostly young people, was held in early October.

Tourists collect waste on the coast.

These travelers picked up garbage on the coast and tourist areas to transport to waste treatment facilities. Their action attracted the support and participation of many local residents. Everyone was very happy to do a meaningful task for the island.

Director of Viet Mark Travel Company, Do Tuan Anh, said this idea was launched in October and it mainly attracted youth. The company organized the first rubbish-collecting tour to Ho Tram for the first group of 30 tourists.

"I wish that through these tours, participants will be more aware of their responsibilities to the environment. This meaningful act will spread to many other people to preserve the beautiful landscape of the country," Tuan Anh said.
