Information from VnExpress states that Quang Ninh People’s Committee intends to implement new policy to force all tourism boats in Ha Long Bay (except dragon boats) to repaint their outer skin to white color.

Information from VnExpress states that Quang Ninh People’s Committee intends to implement new policy to force all tourism boats in Ha Long Bay (except dragon boats) to repaint their outer skin to white color. The deadline for carrying out the policy is 30th April 2012. Any boat which does not implement the new policy will be mulcted shipping license. 

 
The new policy is applied to strengthen the supervision of local authority to activities of these cruises, as well as create a consistent image to attract more visitors to this charming bay in 2012. It is expected to impact daily transactions of more than 500 boats operating in this place.
 
 
Arguments are surrounded cruises in Ha Long that wheter they should be painted white or not
 
However, right after the policy is initiated, it has confronted various objections from cruise owners. They argue that the new color actually makes cruises look unattractive than the traditional brown and black color. Moreover, that could take several months and considerable expense, which means the cruise services in Ha Long might be disrupted and negatively influenced for long period.
 
As a traveler, how would you like Ha Long boats to be, white or traditional colors of black and brown?
