Asia's Growing Tigers
Description
In Malaysia, the lucrative palm oil business is stirring global controversy. Vietnam has a burgeoning tourism industry-and is under pressure not to develop it in the manner of neighboring Thailand. This program examines those issues as it traverses both countries, illuminating the balancing act between development, environmental stewardship, and the rights of indigenous peoples. Nguyen Quy Phuong describes his challenges as deputy director of Vietnam's tourism ministry. Peter Ryder, CEO of Indochina Capital, asserts that tourism has far less impact than manufacturing and agribusiness while James Fahn of the Internews' Earth Journalism Network disagrees. Palm oil industry leaders and opponents are also featured.
