Tourism in times of climate change | DW Documentary

- Extreme weather is affecting the whole world - and climate change certainly doesn’t stop at popular vacation destinations. Where is tourism accelerating climate change? And where could tourism provide an opportunity?
Until the flood disaster in 2021, the Ahr Valley was seen as a dream destination for wellness and wine tourists. Today, the devastation in the Ahr Valley is symbolic of the extreme weather events that could be hitting Germany more frequently due to climate change. How can the Ahr Valley attract visitors again after its infrastructure and gastronomy were swept away? A catastrophe like the flood in 2021 cannot be allowed to recur. Reconstruction of the region aims to make the Ahr Valley a model region for low-impact, sustainable tourism.
In Mallorca, it may already be too late for sustainable tourism. Recent decades have seen the island overrun by mass tourism. The consequences are especially visible in the wake of climate change: extreme drought and water shortages are putting a strain on the Balearic island, where resources are already scarce. Tourism accounts for over a quarter of total water consumption.
Barely any other place on earth has seen the consequences of climate change as clearly as Greenland. Yet some of the island's inhabitants also see opportunities in global warming: melting glaciers are clearing the way for the mining of rare earths and other valuable raw materials. The problem is that mining harms the environment and the people. Can tourism offer a more climate-friendly alternative to boost the economy?

Just watched the apple event. It's the same in Big Tech. Companies, consumers going on about how green they are whilst using up more and more resources.
Fast Travel, Fast Tech, Fast fashion. Destroying the planet.
It's surreal to think that climate change will give a pass to tourists "who deserve to switch off their minds and not think about climate problems". There is no such liberty anymore. You go to these high-end hotels, you contribute to the issue. Unfortunately, the cost of those contributions are never seen or felt by those people, but instead by the local population.
The most intelligent shift in tourism would be to virtual. Keep fossil fuels in the ground. Eliminate travel. But, how intelligent are we as a species? Ah, but we want to keep our global north lifestyle. Not going to happen in any nice way.
Eliminate travel? How authoritarian of you. Stalin would be proud.
you can do your part by logging off of RUclips, all those servers require lots emissions to be emitted. Do your part but it's probably easier to outsource your belief systems onto others then to take action by yourself.
Sustainablity, Ecofriendly and all such words have become a joke in all the companies branding their products...
Also the worse use of plastic which many travellers do is to wrap their bags at the airport with the plastic wraps and just throw away that plastic after reaching the destination...instead buy one custom size transparent plastic bag cover which will last with the bag forever and will actually display your flashy bag rather than covered in whole load of plastic and make your bag look like shit.
Another great documentary by DW regarding climate change.Keep it up 👍.
Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment!
Video should have included the mount Everest, garbage disposal is difficult due to climate conditions
Greenland had better be careful on what the are wishing for. Mass tourism will destroy the local area. Where to put the increased waste, human and industrial. Humongous cruise ships add nothing to the local economy but leave an environmental scar once departed. No meaningful jobs are created.
Tourists asking about and expecting eco sustainability ? Please ..
A lot of eco tourism is feel good bs but I like the general idea/mindset of it, went on an ecotourism tour and hotel once and at least they generally tried to be better environmentally
Did you fly there?
Some of it is actually places trying their best. Take Alaska for example. They know that people want to visit the small arctic towns and they know it's essential for local economies. So they try to make it as eco as possible.
lol @@gamingtonight1526
@@gamingtonight1526 no I canoed
And what will that help? We need a DRASTIC change & FAST.
Nothing done today is anywhere near enough.. this planet is doomed
Bless you.

🔥🔥🔥
I am very surprised that they do like much money than the nature familiar with in their childhood.
Should be eco-guilt for sure
Cruise ships need to supply departing passengers with water.
all goes into the sea the uk are doing the same in the water
Pollution, refuse thank you😢
12:26 is that Cigarettes After Sex in the background? 😅
When china ,russia and india agree on reducing it..then ill listen
Well try asking them
@joso7228 why should I? its not my problem
It's important that we keep focussing on how to fix and maintain the profit motive throughout our volitional extinction event. After all, it has cost us the earth, we might as well keep at it.
Ditto.well-said.
Sigh, that's what I'm thinking as I watch this.
*195 dislikes and counting.*
Let's deal with the climate crisis, by building THREE airports for tourism. I hope the tourists are taxed to the hilt!
First World Problems. At least you all have a buffer. Third world had far less to start with. Colonialism, western pillaging, etc saw to that.
Every single race and culture under the sun, since the beginning of time has invaded, colonized, oppressed and enslaved. Open your eyes and go an examine the atrocities being committed around the world today. So nice that you embrace selective outrage and remain obsessed with only one version of this event. I guess you just hate White people.
So take care of your own problems instead of blaming everyone else..
the situation in Mallorca reminds me of this quote: When the last tree has been cut down, the last fish caught, the last river poisoned, only then will we realize that one cannot eat money. but then, water shortages because of tourism is quite common elsewhere. see jogjakarta and bali in Indonesia
Aha, a frequent traveller.
There's plenty of water on Mars. Grow up and stop being negative.
@@jakel8627 And ? So what, there's also plenty of water coming from my water tubes. What do you need "Mars water" for ?
Will it heal you ? Well, then suggest to Elon Musk to shoot you up there, as long as you'll stay. But kindly, don't come to ask me money for it: pay your own voyages. I won't sponsor "tourists".
This is the reason why the first time I decided to live in Jogja I choose to live far away from my college bcz the first place I found have it's own private well with big yard, 🌳 trees, I could also planting flower and herbs.
Even after I moved to new place I still found 1 that have well, it's really stress free.
@@jakel8627pick up a bucket and start pumping then...
Tourism, like any other industry, is primarily driven by profitability, often overlooking the environmental and social costs borne by local communities. To ensure sustainable tourism and achieve net-zero impact, we must implement a robust framework of checks and balances, as well as standard operating procedures (SOPs). These measures will guide and compel everyone involved in tourism to act responsibly, safeguarding both the environment and the well-being of the communities they impact.
Regulations is very prohibited word, but you actually successfully avoid it. Can't agree more.
@@Feefa99 😁
Yeah tourism is driven by profitability but tourists are to blame. There's no sustainable tourism. Tourism must stop at once. Tourists are worst than terrorists.
decentralization + global law.
no more corruptible regulations pls.
"The ice-caps are melting, so lets fly to these places and see them, before they are gone".
Find the contradiction. 🤣
Can you describe it more ?
“Eco tourism” = ask visitors not to use certain sun screen meanwhile keep building more and more accommodations
And cut down the carbon absorbing trees to build them, makes you question the train of thought....
so witty
Most generalized comment ever
Yeah those comments catch the general public. Things are nuanced. @@PeterPerez.
This one is from a tiny, beautiful Liuqiu Island in Taiwan- one of the places on Earth that is experiencing rapid coral bleaching due to warming sea temperatures. Of course every single small things we do is important and valuable but The things we do to damage is far greater than the things we do to protect/minimize our impact on the nature. Just like one of the interviewer in the documentary mentioned the tourism is never circular. That’s one of the reasons I personally cut down my international travels significantly. I live in Alaska- one of the most divided place when it comes to “climate change”. Some tourism companies here don’t even want to mention it to the tourists because it’s become such a stupid dividing political subject. Meanwhile, indigenous living in the coastal AK are dealing with the consequences greatly. No matter what we call it or not, it’s going to bite us on a**.
Watching this video made me think that we need to consider something a little more fundamental. If the natural environment in which we live changes, all of our lives will inevitably change. It is natural that even our survival is threatened.
"You cannot be dreaming now of happiness and all the wonderful things you are going to be, do and have. You have to respond to the changing landscape. When your environment changes, everything changes. When your climate changes, everything changes. When your resources are depleted, everything changes. Those who can see this and face this will find ways to prepare in a constructive way, not simply to fortify themselves, but to put themselves in a position where they can be stable enough to be of service to others." ~ Marshall Vian Summers
It is hard to be stable in this world but it is a challenge I am working to achieve in order to be of service to others as Marshall puts it. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for sharing.
You might get the hotel replaced to carbon neutrality, but there's nothing carbon neutral about the tourists that turn up.
That come there by airplane.. and get around in something that uses diesel..
My thought exactly.
They probably want to lock everyone at home
Yeah. Human just need to die to be carbon neutral right?
One side people's Neta crying climate chane. But what Russia Ukraine war does not impact on climates. Millions of ton explosive being expense in war it does not produce heat and does not rise temperatures of earth.
What's happening in Mallorca applies for Catalonia as well. It's ridiculous that we have droughts repeatedly and yet we don't decrease the number of tourist but instead we are actually increasing tourism.
Locals definitely need to learn how to be water and energy efficient but I cannot understand why we are bringing in millions and millions of tourists to make the conditions so much worse.
How does it matter where people use water? What difference does it make if I use a hotel tap, or stay home and use my own tap?
Mallorca will die without tourism..but thats what climate change frauds want, they want to destroy everything
@@anthonymorris5084 The water consumption of a tourist is much higher than that of a normal resident, and it does matter when you travel to a place suffering from droughts.
@@Maria-EU You're trying to tell me I use more water just because I'm on vacation? If there is a drought, then the drought is the issue, not travel.
@@anthonymorris5084 No, you use more water because you often come from places where water scarcity has never been an issue, and because yes, very often you don't give a shit if there's no water for the locals because all you want is spoil yourselves while you're on vacation and you don't have to deal with any consequences down the road.
Get a front row seat to watch a species destroy its own biosphere. Sad, to pathetic.
the film in my life, every day. I just need to watch what my friends, collegues and clients do.
Can someone please help me understand why anyone would wish to see an environment that is being destroyed and will soon be gone ?😢
Cause it will be soon gone. You want to see it before it dies.
the worst thing is that locals destroy the environment to accommodate more and more tourists. It happens in my island in Greece.
Maybe to accelerate the process with produced gas emmissions
@stekon9112 Or: want to see it before you help kill it?
Human is like in a race, he wants to exploit everything as long as it is possible !
Human has not changed he carries on to search some gold mine, and above all he digs, he digs, he digs, deeper and faster as possible.
The majority of the carbon footprint from tourists comes from flying to these faraway places, so, even if these tourist destinations were "green", it would affect the overall carbon footprint little. We really need to add a carbon tax to fossil fuel travel and make that tax progressively ramp up the more a person travels. I don't agree with the hotel manager that he shouldn't burden guests from sustainability. Guests, good ones, would even score a hotel higher for being environmentally conscious.
Thanks for saving me some typing. Yes! "We really need to add a carbon tax to fossil fuel travel and make that tax progressively ramp up the more a person travels. "
This is an authoritarian solution. No thank you.
Eco-tourism --> Oxymoron! Say goodbye to your beautiful Island Greenland ;-)
*Comments censored by DW on this page? What a surprise! (NOT.)*
After advancing so much that even average working people in developed countries can travel the world to some degree, we’re heading back into times in which only super rich can afford it. Oh irony…
It's not a right to pollute the earth.. I can't stand people who feel sorry for themselves if they can't go on some far away vacation every year.
@@ingridakerblom7577 so good luck staying in your cave. Some people want to actually see the planet we’re living on. Experience it. Otherwise what’s the point?
Oh I forgot, for some, the biggest joy comes from making stupid rules and forbidding others from doing things they don’t agree with.
@@ardentenv I studied hard for a long long time. I started from scratch multiple times. And I work my ass off to support my family. So get lost with your “you sound entitled “. I’m entitled to hard work. The fact that some people on some desert live off of a dollar per day doesn’t make every single hard working family in the west rich. Check your “wealthy” definition again. And adjust it for different locations.
And no, traveling isn’t only for wealthy nowadays. Compare how things are with how it was in the past.
@@ardentenv Almost 100 million Indians and 500 million Chinese people take the Airplane every year. Nowadays you don't have to be rich to afford a plane ticket.
We all want to explore beautiful places in the world. So, tourism can't be stopped completely. We need to come up with practical solutions to attain sustainable tourism. There needs to be strict laws for tourists regarding use of resources, be it water, energy etc. Hotels can't say,"we don't want to disappoint customers" and then let people use limitless water, etc. After all, it's a matter of the survival of us as a species.
We need to move beyond a purely capitalistic mindset.
May we find the way out towards survival and attain ultimate peace and prosperity as a species.
you drifted to the obscure with "strict laws for tourists".
focusing on regulating the individual instead of the big players in the tourism-industry; a tourist will adapt, the fat cats and their lobbyists not.
08:34 the irony of water shortages caused by environmental issues while shooting drone footage with every house with a swimming pool in a place 5 minutes from the beach.
Bro they’re paying for it. A pool is an extra perk and it comes at a specific cost.
@@C_ToleaYes, the cost is wather shorteges.
@@stekon9112 Water shortages come from bad local town management. The city doesn’t invest in real infrastructure so they get what they paid for: shortages. There’s enough water in the seas and oceans to fill millions of pools.
@@C_Tolea except that's not water that suitable for filling pools, or for domestic use
I like to travel but not to a place where tourists are not welcome. I guess I can look at the place on TV instead .
One of the top 20 producers of pollution is international air travel .. it's more than many countries. Think about that before you go on vacation internationally
In the North they want more tourism for the moment but at the end I laugh a lot of the outcome !!
Money is nothing if you can not live in peaceful.😉
If you do not have enough hotels in your part, just ask Bernard Arnault he has the money do not worry.
First tourism then colonizers due to climate change eventually they will want to stay…. Not a good idea to allow that in a developing country.
Following that same logic you should not be allowed to enter Europe... 🤨
Racism goes all ways, as you proved.
Tourism is overrated and not sustainable. I totally agree. Short term gain Long term environmental problems and displaced local people. I’m thinking Hawaii.
It doesn't matter what part of the world people go to when the world is so overpopulated. China = overpopulated, India = overpopulated, USA = overpopulated, most African countries = overpopulated, UK = overpopulated. Maybe fix that first and these other symptoms of that problem might subside. The birth rates are just too high.
Exactly! Nobody is even addressing the issue.are they blind??
@@SaveOurDisabilityFund neither one of the countries that you mentioned has high birthrates, with the exception of Africa and the middle east, no other place in the world has birthrates above 2.1 children per woman, so almost every country will see the population decline in the next decades, the only reason why that is still not visible is because life expectancy keeps increasing, so people take longer to die, but even that is going in reverse in some countries now.
Your rant made sense 50 years ago, now it is the other way around.
Respectfully towards the people talking in this documentary, one has to point out that global mass tourism itself is one of the factors of climate change. So flying to Mallorca, moreover: building new airports to Greenland and cruising around the melting ice with diesel boats will keep emission rates high and lead to collapse at a certain point.
*198 dislikes and counting.*
Nevertheless people are on vacation I think is common sense to conserve water and be considerate
What about traveling less? Aren't we all thinking that maybe the answer lies in the reduction of tourism?
Taking a flight is the worst thing a person can do cause climate change.
Nope. Having kids.
DW has really truly aced the art of making documentaries. Highly informative and impressive stuff ,kudos!
They are simply brilliant.
LOL.
Brilliant indeed, always!!
How can building 2 or 3 new airports be a way of dealing with climate change? Eco tourism, ha ha, not funny, but surely not serious either.
In my country the big cruse ships are the worst.
tourism at this time on earth is immoral
Then make a promise to yourself to stay at your city your whole life
@@vierikristianto1334 what if im leaving a corrupt country? what im saying is for leisurely purposes. i havent gone on eco damaging vacation in yrs after being informed and even if i had the money i wouldnt until at least most ppl on earth are living well. nice try tho
@@betterpoliticsquetu dude, most buses use diesel which is still non carbon neutral. Even your EV is charged with non carbon neutral mix. at least wait until all the transportation mode use full electric on all renewable mix so that your vacation will be "moral" :)
@@vierikristianto1334 by vacation i mean staying at home and i agree driving gas car not good so i got rid of it and work from home but very minimal to other ways of transport also ev is not the best for eco friendly cause of cobalt plus still have bad materials like aluminum, steel, and rubber nice try tho
@@vierikristianto1334 You can get a long way on a bicycle.
We need to address climate change now dammit thanks for covering this dw
Eco tourism stay home.
Another wonderful and thrilled watching documentary shared by respectful ( DW) documentary channel.. thank you for sharing
LOL
Expected case study on solutions, was getting a story of a student passing exam. And this, ladies and gentlemen, is how we are dealing with climate change.
More excellence from DW. I'm in "Silicon Valley" which like the rest of the US has a very large "internal third world" with a then veneer of wealth. I make less than $20k a year, get around by bicycle, do my own cooking etc., in other words, while not perfect I think I do a fairly good job of being "ecological" and I still feel bad about the fact that I will take one final plane flight back to where I grew up because it is my home and I want my last years to be spent in my actual home. I've even looked up perhaps taking a cruise and "jumping ship" when it touches on my home port (less ecological than flying on a plane) or hitching a ride on a cargo ship (that's not really a thing any more) even buying a sailboat and sailing on my own back home isn't as "green" so there I'll be, hopping on a plane.
I think tourism is a great idea but now with the internet it's possible to see so much of the world anyway, people can set up cams etc., plus, why not work on making your own area better? I know once I'm back home I plan to take part in what "ecological" activities I can and to do things to improve the place.
It's so pleasant to know that someone can be so climate conscious. God bless you.
Oh Alex 😂 I strongly suggest visiting a psychiatrist. I bet there’s plenty in the Bay Area.
@@bdkamil95An example we can all try to follow.
Mallorca. I never understood this kind of tourism. If you go visit another country, the whole charm is, or at least the polite or even smart thing to do would be is adopting the local customs. why plant a huge hotel with swimming pool when the beach is nearby?? ofcourse the spanish gouvernment is guilty too because they encouraged this type of tourism since the 50s/60s
It isn’t eco-tourism if you fly to your destination on a fossil fuel guzzling, carbon emitting jet or by a ship burning low grade oil. Combustion propulsion (non-hydrogen) isn’t defensible in terms of exacerbating the climate crisis. It would be more appropriate if visiting destinations such as Greenland and Svalbard to go there on a sailing vessel. Elsewhere electric trains or EVs. In polar destinations most of the energy consumed by tourism is generated by burning fossil fuels
Mallorca... 16 million tourists? How about this, 10e fee for water when they arrive 1m^3 of water desalination costs 1.2e to produce. From some search I did, this means 10e would provide 8300 liters of water desalination. Or even on steeper prices at least 3000l.
Andratx and Alcúdia plants could grow with 160m euros to desalinate more. Thus filling their irigations and their reserves.
I call b.s on any place with huge tourism
I prefer to vacation locally instead of flying to some remote place - easier, cheaper and more eco-friendly. I find it ironic that the so-called "eco tourism" is more damaging. There are ways that we can use better options but that can only go so far.
So you’re not allowed to travel the world anymore? Back to caves? Crazy thinking. Pointless life.
Agree!!
What counts as a "local" vacation?
@@AssBlasster A non-flying one, in my mind. I'm Canadian, so without leaving the country my son moved 4500 km away. Skype is fine.
Or colonial consummerist marketing, demoralization, into appathy and/or hatred, thus far and enabling ecocide, specicide, and gencide, by deforestation and agriculture?
When 2 years is not enough for restoration, then the next climate extreme may end the whole business.
Ie. In California there have been places where houses has been burned down 3 times in a row and no insurances are given. Similar situation is in parts of Florida, where "sunny day" floods have ruined entire city blocks and people has no money to move out, because none will buy their house.
It is also similiar to coral bleeching events. One harms the reef, next takes out plenty and third one says there is no reef.
There is very little to do with these events. You may still relocate yourself, but when that happens to billions, then all available locations are already taken.
Climate tourism should really start with showing what climate has done to the place. Tours to destroyed places could be sold to people who are still looking for tourists spots, but are interested what did happen.
And in blah places like Rhodos, tour to see how the water is recycled would interest me more than useless tours they currently offer. Or go to a meeting with local climate activists.
But that said. I won't fly.
@@martiansoon9092 I'm with you. I Skype with my son who lives a continent away.
Go north - it will be cooler
@@joso7228 Don't send everyone here to Canada!
I don't really understand how it can be called ecotourism since you are ruthlessly building concrete blocks so you can have as many tourists as possible.

As ecosystems are collapsing, it's the last chance to see them all before they disappear. I'm a nihilist. Just waiting for the world to blow up. 😊
You'll be waiting a long time. I'd get another hobby.
@anthonymorris5084 I'm already seeing it happening. Geoengineering is no longer a taboo word like it was 15 years ago. A world war is brewing on the horizon with nukes. The catastrophic warming feedbackloop is coming soon as the planet gets continuously warmer. Even knowing how it may happen is terrifying as I watch every worst case scenario predicted by climate scientists from 10 years ago is coming true. I have a postgraduate in environmental sciences. I'm very familiar with those scenarios.
@@ToudaHell In the 1950's there were more bomb shelters in American back yards than swimming pools. People lived through the entire Cold war and the threat of nuclear annihilation for 50 years. Do you have any idea how many global ending catastrophes have been predicted by fear mongering zealots over the last 100 years? Most started with "scientists say".
And yet, data proves humanity has never been safer, healthier or more prosperous than at any time in history. Get a grip.
@@ToudaHell These trolls represent the reason we've been completely unable to make meaningful change. Victims of a successful four-decade disinformation campaign.
I wonder if the german eco tourists and operators support closing the nuclear power plants then having those EV charging stations powered by burning coal and gas
The end approaches but the apocalypse is long lived
Not even close.
May the Anthropocene (Pyrocene (?)) epoch make the Permian-Triassic extinction event seem like a minor footnote in the pages of Earths history. Hopefully, scenario SSP5-8.5 of the IPCC assessment comes to fruition and ends the Anthropcene. Enjoy what you can, while you can and pity the next 3 to 5 generations to come.
climate change like seasons in a year 🤣

10:35 The Netherlands looks super weird without its lakes
Ecotourism doesn’t exist. Climate friendly travel is a contradiction.
*PROPAGANDA CRAP.*
song at 13:40?
Climates been changing since the BIG BANG and guess tourism been around not long after that and still here today.😊
After the Bali Bombings tourism fell for a few years and the local people were the ones who suffered the most. Tourism money is mostly re-invested by local Governments as they know they have to keep standards up.
You can't pronounce the Nuuk without N-U-K-E
100% plant based menu will line up with the climate friendly goals
Or just growing your own fruit and staying out of the colonial cities, and not buying from the cities, if any money to exist, until ended and only organic seed sewn nature?
What a load of bull. Everybody knows cyclists and walkers spend zero money locally compared to the real only attraction in the region. The nurburgring.
Interesting because I live in a hot climate and it’s much much cooler and more comfortable. I’m so happy finally I used to dread the 5 month summers.
Travelling the world is one of my favourite things to do and where possible I try not to fly but putting things into context is important. Flying produces about 2.5% of total CO2 emissions and of that a relatively small number of people (super rich etc) account for a huge percentage of those emissions. People should absolutely be conscious of flying and its environmental costs but making bigger pushes to decarbonise energy production, big industry and food production etc has the potential for far bigger changes.
The problem is, there are a lot of activities that only cause 2,5% of emissions. Flying is too cheap because the polluters (passengers) do not pay the true costs of the services. Hotel guests dito.
Yes, everyone should be allowed at least that one trip once a year. For example from north to somewhere warm in winter. But the rich who for their august holidays fly thousands of kilometres from perfectly warm Italy to Maldives or Madagascar just because beaches there are less crowded, well they should pay 20 times more tax. Because of that - money than used mitigate the climate change.
Or more investment in Green Aeroplanes.
Bicycling holidays can be done almost anywhere.
Yes, push responsibility away from yourself and onto other people. If everyone does that the problem will get solved, for sure.
The thing is, food, energy and a number of industrial products (not all of course) are basic necessities, while the carbon emissions of long-distance travel in general and air travel in particular are largely UNNECESSARY, generated purely for the selfish pleasure of people like yourself. If we'd all cut back on things that are basically just enjoyable luxuries, the world would be a better place for it.
That old german dude in the Palma hotel...
Don3t travel for fun, don't drive cars or worse disel trucks & don't have any children.
The best solution is the employer and government pay to stay home. The tax payers tax will be recycled in the homeland and no overtourism.
Let the hotel guests bring their own bed sheets and towels and wash them once a week.
What difference does it make who washes the sheets?
@@anthonymorris5084 😆 true! But if the guests stay for fewer days there is still some convenience. I try to convince my friends when they come to my house to bring their own sheets bag. Not easy. The majority are lazy and selfish.
@@francisstjohn2194 I love how environmentalists are so quick to judge and embrace slander and insults. Perhaps people are not lazy or selfish and just disagree with you. Perhaps they feel that your position is rather zealous.
Southern Europe operate tourism for six to seven months, not the whole year. That's the normal practice.
southern europe is very general term- some regions may have even shorter seson, but Andaluzia or Catalonia in Spain its round the year. Streching the seson is part of solution for employment, but so many roof pools is unnecesary.
I actually know Pipaluk! We used to go in the same school ones and then she moved back to greenland!
More tourists means more money, more local employees, more economical opportunities.. yoi can buy 5x more water and etc...
If 1 million locals for 365 days = 16 million tourists for X days. X = ? 🙃
Wait til they find out about bali
Thank you. Very informative
Thank you for watching!
Thank DW for another great documentary ❤
Thanks a lot for watching and for your positive feedback. We appreciate you taking the time to comment and
are glad you like our content!
Human being (surely, I'm one of them) seems can never be satisfied ... When I live in a big city and I am admiring the lives in small villiage, I wonder why the people live in a quiet small villiage would like to develop their homeland to be a tourist spot. I really pray to God and wonder if I were very rich, would I still earn money without caring the earth... if I were a farmer, would I still want my place become a tourist spot? God said he will only give the most suitable trial to us, maybe he really knows I am a very greedy person
Well it probably starts with one local opening a small Hotel then someone else follows, then a Cafe and before you know it... you can see this happening on small Islands or beach areas.
Is there a place for tourism in times of climate change? 🤔😉
Flood disaster, glacier melt and mass tourism 🤔 found separately on a First World Continent. Here you found them together in one country 🇵🇪😌🤭
Thank you!!
There are many ways to maximize efficiency of water use if there is money available. Water use should not be a barrier to growth. People need jobs after all.
We have desalination technology.
Yea. New airport is coming. More emissions ensured. Gg.
What is truly important will be made known.
This is an EXCELLENT produced documentary
