New Challenge to the Old Fishing Village.
The Hong Kong Tourism Board is planning to transform Tai O from an old fishing village to a new tourist destination. Opinions diverge greatly on this plan. Some people are deeply concerned that this development may spoil the historical features, unique culture, and community structure of the village.
政府有意發展大澳為旅遊區，對老漁村帶來新衝擊。政府認為發展大澳，需要重新規劃漁村、清拆棚屋、興建酒店及購物商場等等，贊成及反對之聲此起彼落。反對者認為，大澳的發展會破壞其社區結構及文化特色；而支持者則認為經濟與保育可以並存，政府應該利用大澳的特色，發展生態旅遊。
