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 kwamba ziwa hilo halikuporomoka usiku mmoja lakini lilikuwa tokeo la maendeleo ya utalii wa kihipi yaliyofanyika huko, na chupa tupu za pombe na takataka zilizoachwa na karamu zisizo na uwezo mkubwa, wala kuboresha hali ya maisha ya watu maskini sana kutoka vijijini kote, jambo ambalo halikuongeza utalii wa kimazingira wenye urafiki.
