 * Recently in Vietnam, the government have discussed the construction of the Nuclear power plants in the coasts of Vietnam. But will this help Vietnam's development of its tourism that could help Vietnam's economic growth? Will Vietnam as a country that depends a lot on tourism have to think again about this? **

**Our group disagrees to the construction of nuclear power plants in Vietnam, as it could have a lot of negative effects in the Vietnam's development in tourism. **

**Firstly, Vietnam is known as a country that have a lot of environmental friendly resources, that could even be reused so there are no desperate need of the nuclear power plants. So building new power plants could be quite useless and wastes of Vietnam's money. ** **Secondly, with many deadly and dangerous accidents that are happening with these nuclear power all over the world, for example the Chernobyl, Three mile Island and recently in Japan, the nuclear power plants can become a dangerous, fearful thing for the people. And we have seen that these nuclear power plants cannot be perfect, and could turn into deadly weapons that can fail or malfunction easily. ** **Also, as a country not so economically developed, compared to other countries like japan, we cannot guarantee the safety and the successfulness of the Nuclear power plant. ** ** [] ** **Thirdly, although nuclear power are known to be 'clean' they do produce some kind of pollution and could negatively affect the environment, especially the ocean and other resources. This could effect the tourism in these areas. Also if when the security and the safety of these nuclear plants fail, and cause explosions or meltdown of these plants, it will cause extreme damage and harm to Vietnam, its people, other living things and importantly to the tourism a lot of tourists and environment. So this 'clean' energy plant could suddenly turn into a very deadly, 'dirty' and dangerous killing machine with small accidents and mistakes. This will not only reduce the number of tourists, but even the number of citizens of Vietnam. ** **Vietnam is also very famous and popularly known for the great rainforests, but these could also be badly affected and harm from the nuclear wastes. ** ** [] ** [] (map of the area where nuclear plant will be constructed) **So a solution that we have thought of that could replace nuclear power plants, are eco friendly energy, such as solar, wind and hydro energy that are much more safe, clean, and maybe even cheaper ways to gain and produce energy for Vietnam. Also, these energy plants do not have any risks and chances of exploding and melting down, producing humongous amount of radiation that could put the world in fear and danger. Also importantly in tourism, these sites can be turned and used as touring sites for the tourists, so it could help raise and develop and improve Vietnam's tourism. **

**In conclusion, our group does not agree to the contrustion of the Nuclear power plant in Vietnam, as it is too risky in the safety of the plant, that could cause death of many people, and could largly reduce tourism in Vietnam. **

**Currently our group is against nuclear power plants in the coasts of Vietnam. Vietnam is known for having a lot environmentally friendly energy sources so, there is no desperation for nuclear power plants in Vietnam. We also believe relocation of nuclear power plants can affect the development of Vietnam's tourism. The biggest reason we disagree to nuclear power in Vietnam is the safety of the power plant. Like how all of us have seen through Chernobyl, Three Mile Island and even recently in Japan the safety of these power plants is top priority. We believe that the safety of the nuclear power can hugely affect Vietnam's current tourism and its development. **

==== ** Your group has a difficult job because the recent events in Japan have really got the tourism industry worried about what people will think if nuclear power plants are built that people don’t trust. On the one hand you want people to feel safe, on the other you know that future tourism projects that will be built in Vietnam require a lot of power to run and keep customers happy. ** ==== ====  ** Your group is attending this event to try and help people understand what the consequences of any radical decisions might be if on the one hand Vietnam completely goes a away from nuclear power and on the other what it might mean for the economy of Vietnam if unsightly and unsafe power plants pop up all over the coast in this small country. You are hoping to be the voice of reason to calm the passions of the many sides in this debate because the truth is tourism in Vietnam needs everyone to participate. ** ==== ====  ** You are particularly interested in winning over the local people who will be in attendance. You know that important government officials have asked that the local people be part of the debate and that they will have more influence than a lot of others might think. You also want to approach all the interested energy groups and see if there isn’t a possible compromise between the different groups that want to get projects running in Vietnam. ** ==== ====  ** In order to be successful, your group needs to look for areas that bring people together for the common cause of promoting Vietnam as a place to visit and also as a place that is moving into the future. You do not want the debate to degrade into shouting and finger pointing, which could be a real possibility with some of the interest groups in this debate. You need to find a way to get them to reconsider their hard positions because getting them on your side could help you to get the local people as well. ** ====
