9 tourist attractions that are dying
CNN | 8 July 2015
The ruins of Cambodia's once-magnificent
temple complex are now overrun with smartphone-toting tourists jostling
for the best position from which to capture the spectacular sunrise.
With an annual increase of nearly 20% year-on-year visitors, according
to the Cambodian tourist board, more than two million people visited
Angkor Wat in 2013.
"I think that many
sites need to determine cultural and environmental carrying capacities,
and then limit visitation numbers to sustainable numbers," says
Poortman.
