Alan Mills points out that the lake did not collapsed overnight but it was the result of the irresponsible hippie-chic tourism development that took place there, and all the empty beer bottles and rubbish left behind by wild parties, neither improving the living conditions of the extremely poor people from the villages around, which did not increase the environmental friendly tourism.
Alan Mills anasema ziwa halikuharibiwa usiku mmoja, bali ni matokeo ya maendeleo ya hovyo ya utalii yaliyofanyika hapo, na chupa nyingi tupu za bia na uchafu ulioachwa na tafrija za usiku, ambazo hazikubadilisha umasikini uliotopea wa wanavijiji waliozunguka, na wala haukuongeza utalii mzuri kwa mazingira.
