Furthermore, ENV’s efforts to remove bear bile products from the rest stops along the route to Ha Long Bay which target Korean tourists, the typical visitors to the bear bile farms, have also been successful, and the primary business partner in the farms (also Korean) has been forced to close his traditional medicine shop in Ha Long City.</span></div><div
