The new modern market and a building with large space with electricity and lights and toilets have been opened just out side of the central area of Sapa centre. The land owners of the hill country have been made to still sell their farm proceed outside of the market stall. Why because the market is for the majority population of the country who have migrated to earn large sums of money from the tourist trade that is growing each year. Even if the hill tribes are to use the market facilities they will have to pay a rent where can they find money to pay a rent when their only source of income is from the farm and natures produce. They do not manufacture large quantities as rest of the world does by destroying the nature and life. These people are resource base tribes and they only come in to the market once a day and exchange their surplus. Remainder of the days they work in the fields. it is very sad to see the impact we the outsiders are causing the minority tribes of the world.
