Greenpeace is calling on the Hong Kong government to reassess its ecotourism strategies and lower visitor numbers to the Po Pin Chau trail in Sai Kung. The environmental organization cited severe overcrowding observed on Thursday, the first day of the Golden Week holiday, as evidence of the need for intervention. Their statement detailed damage to the environment resulting from the high volume of visitors. Greenpeace argues current visitor quotas are unsustainable and negatively impacting the natural beauty of the area. They advocate for a review of policies to prioritize ecological preservation over maximizing tourist numbers. The organization's findings highlight the delicate balance between promoting tourism and protecting Hong Kong’s natural spaces, particularly popular trails like the one at Po Pin Chau. This incident underscores the necessity for sustainable tourism practices within Sai Kung and beyond.
