4.3 Assess the impacts of tourism activities on the environment and resources of the tourist area

4.3.1 Liquid waste


Wastewater supply system of the resort according to tourist data in 2012:


+ Average 50 guests stay at the resort every day. Water supply standard 200l/person/day.

+ Number of employees of the resort: 63 people. Water supply standard: 120l/person/day.


+ Average daily water demand for cooking is 155 people. Water standard is 25l/person/day.

- Demand for domestic wastewater:

QSH = 50 x 200 + 63 x 120 + 155 x 25 = 13435 liters = 21.435m 3


- Public water:

QCC = 10%QSH = 10%* 21,435 = 2,1435 (m 3 /day and night).

- Water for watering plants and cleaning roads:

QTC = 10%QSH = 2.1435 (m 3 /day and night).

- Water leakage and backup:

QRR = 10%QSH = 2.1435 (m 3 /day and night).

The total amount of water used is about 28 (m3 / day and night). This amount of water does not include the amount of water used for the swimming pool because the swimming pool is not currently in operation. Currently, the wastewater treatment system of My Le Tourist Area with its operating capacity cannot meet the amount of wastewater generated by the Tourist Area, so the wastewater has not been thoroughly treated or there are places in the Tourist Area that have not been treated.
