环保团体呼吁采取长期措施应对香港西贡区的过度旅游，在农历新年第二天，露营地帐篷数量超过容量九倍以上，尽管当局称情况“可控”。绿色和平组织周四表示，前一天在咸田湾和西湾露营地共计数585顶帐篷，远超每个地点的50顶容量限制。
香港西贡区的咸田湾和西湾露营地在农历新年期间出现严重拥挤。绿色和平组织表示，周三在这些地点共观察到585顶帐篷，其中咸田湾有450顶，西湾有135顶，远超每个地点的指定容量50顶，相当于超过九倍。
“我们团队观察到，工作人员在两个地点向游客发出公开呼吁。但晚上出现了破坏性行为，如非法生火和乱扔垃圾，”该组织表示。这些行为可能违反《郊野公园条例》，但现场未见执法人员巡逻。
绿色和平组织称，此次事件证明当局的措施——继国庆假期尖沙咀岛混乱和新年前夕咸田湾事件后——仅治标不治本，未能解决过度旅游的根源。尖沙咀岛，又称桥咀洲，同在西贡区，于去年10月中国大陆国庆“黄金周”期间游客过多，一些游客被指破坏珊瑚礁。
当局描述情况“可控”，但绿色和平组织呼吁实施长期措施以应对西贡区的过度旅游问题。
