Part of the cycle expressway, for the capital over the next few years. How do we want to travel . How do we want to live . Ill be looking into these questions on my journey today. Sustainable travel. How does it work . And what can you discover when youre away from the popular sites . Thats what i want to find out. So i made appointments with experts here berlin, but also in the small town of the nearby because there they have a university thats completely focused on the topic off sustainability. Well, im curious. The future of travel is also a concern for amsterdam, a city very much affected by mass tourism almost city who rents both explains how you can discover a tourist magnet like venice in a different way. Nature profits from Visitor Management as the games in World Heritage sites near bilin shows. Oh glory. Oh, look out you go. Great weather where you taking me to the temple of the field, one of my Favorite Places, ill tell you why. Love is good, is an ecology infuse yest, she gives tourists on the topic of sustainable berlin. The 1st stop on our route is the huge area of the former temple hoofy airport in the middle of the capital globally. How did you get into Sustainable Tourism . How did you discover the topic . First of all, i studied it as i have my real interest in actually developed right here in berlin. But people dont generally associate big cities with sustainability. Is such a melting pot. And so many Creative Ideas take shape here. Or this is where sustainability is being redefined and where it needs to be. Ive come across so many Great Projects and i thought this has to be spread to the whole world. Let me read what you said. This is one of your Favorite Places in berlin. Why . Yeah, that you just cant find anything like this anywhere else. Its a great example of how enormous open spaces can be used. So they offer something for people, not always just for profit. This is not just screen space. How is this field used today . As of yet everything to do with recreation, an exercise as a place to get together, you can meet friends in the fields and during the coronavirus time, social distancing is no problem. Here. It is a huge gap. Then youve got a community garden, one of the 1st pioneer projects. It was laid out in 2010 and really kicked off this whole wave of gardening, urban gardening. So its a place for people to get together and learn to get closer to nature. Sustainability and tourism is a big challenge and it applies above all to major populous cities in europe, such as venice, barcelona, or amsterdam . Sure, because of the travel restrictions over tourism declined anyway. But how will it be after the crisis will cure isnt change . For example, in amsterdam for years residents have been complaining about already tourists. But when the lockdown was imposed in the spring and eerie quiet fell over amsterdam, came almost a ghost start in certain places. And it also showed how dependent economy in the city center had become only tourism. I think thats really unhealthy. So its also a signal to say this has to change the city of them. Still dampers took action against mass tourism in 2018, prohibiting offers of tours and holiday apartments at the tourist hot spots. The tourism tax was raised in no more souvenir shops were allowed to open. But martin would like to see even more steps making use of the enforced break. He and some friends launched a petition. We thought it was a good time to say ok, of course you want the economy to recover and tourists come back, but there need to be a better as we dont want to go back to the situation before the crisis. And thats why we started a petition to say ok, we dont want to go back to situation in some fashion or 18, but put a limit on the number of tourists coming to the city tonight and state 30000. 00 citizens of amsterdam agree. Now the city council is obliged to look at their proposals and the city has already announced plans to seek new paths in managing tourism starts to different effects of the visitor economy that have a negative effect on the lives of bt. One is the antisocial behavior that is to cause mainly by bigger groups that come here to drink that make a lot of noise. Dont respect the locals. The locals did puke on the street. That is a certain group. They can have to manage differently. The other part is that in the Old City Center on some spots, the pressure on public spaces to be. So there you have to invest in crowd management and also invest for the long term to make much more parts of this city. Interesting part of the solution for crowd control might involve directing visitors to less popular areas of dams. But no concrete plans for cheating. Sustainable goals are yet in place. Will there be any real change once the crisis passes . Stephen kodos doesnt believe so. He worked for years as a tourism manager in amsterdam and i tellee, was left with no doubt the city could not carry on with its current approach to travel. I changed my perspective, the world has changed. I promoted amsterdam in the netherlands. I lived in new york and director of the netherlands board of tourism and promoted it as much as i could until i realized that i was busy to destroy what i think was of value. And therefore i changed. But im seen as a traitor by the industry. Is he a traitor or a visionary . Either way, he doesnt think much of the citys current proposals. Ive seen for the last 30 years of them saying were going to distribute tourists in time and then place 30 years and 30 years its not been able to achieve anything. And the reason for that is people follow people, people go with the masses, so small hidden places away from mass tourism. Thats what clouds berlin, tourists are all about. Why are you taking me to this place . And this because to me this embodies the new eco district sustainability. Same feel good. d in this shop in the shit like heath area of berlin, to fashion designers and a photographer have come together. That shows us her collection on the ground floor, clothing made from surplus of leftovers. And usually this stuff is thrown away. But here it provides the material for a completely new clothes. This is pretty cool, isnt it . But thats not all. Whats down here . Its just the one special. Ill give you special. Good luck and photographer in the here. Im now just as a studio in the basement. She specializes in siam attire and environmentally friendly photo printing process with blue a traditional handicraft that she also teaches and to show that sustainability is also possible with everyday products, clothing shows me the surplus shop on back monstrosity in the district of quotes back. Theres a salvage still, he can become a salvage yourself. Everything you see he would normally get thrown away, though its still perfectly edible. There are foods here that are close to their best before date or just beyond their now 6 of these salvage stores in berlin. Here to waste products are being region used as you know, that looks nice. 100 percent element of eagan excel. Vist. I feel really good buying this one. The last stop on the tour through sustainable berlin is the marked illinois imports back here he will find regional and arties in the products. There are bakers who produce their goods locally and Fresh Produce from the surrounding area. Historic 19th century Market Building had become a desolate place for cheap discounters in the early 2000. Its now the market hall is again, a place for small traders. And for people who want to be inspired that looks good. So do what has to be done to make sustainability even more popular at the kiva, both about what up whatever the answer is. I think its very important for sustainability to become the norm. While it would be great if we no longer had to talk about where the little sustainable hot spots were sold, but rather as a tourist, you could just think, hey, cool, id rather go to these great little shops around with lots of love the individual. And well have a totally different experience than we did on course. I mean that and i follow so instead of rushing off with all the masses, you can come here and take your time and look around. You dont just type in and were talking about. But that also means that you have to plan before the trip and pick out the individual spots. Yeah, yes of course, but thats the nice thing about it. Its fun to plant a tree. It has a little slow ball slow down a little, which is an issue in general, and you have to put a little effort into it. Ok, thank you very much and thanks for your time. Just as a bike and im very welcome, i promise, able to give you a couple of insights and get you interested in whats going on here of in for c. N. N. But there is hardly a city in europe that has suffered so much for a master is as venice. All things look this year during the pandemic. Thats going to show us hes the head of the company that offers both to reserve around the city. So it, todays meet the locals. Were going to take you to hi. Im j. P. And were in venice and i live in venice. And right now im going to show my face just a little bit. But because the regulations i have to keep this back on. So will cover up my ugly face right now. We are in kind of, i just, and i live here in this, in this area. Im going to show you a different kind of venice, not the tourist venice, but my venice, the venice that i like to participate in who are going to be out and i, which is one of my Favorite Places because were talking about boats and everybody that works here is in love with boats. You cant be in venice without loving boats because part of the history of what were in right now. This at one time is one of my Favorite Places to be was the Biggest Shipyard in the entire world. And the 1st kind of factory lines started here in venice. Where on the island of those are now where were based and where a lot of our fun happens. Its not just we work here, but we also on my off days, i like to come here to, to hang out because its just a really beautiful island. Its an open area where theres lots of grass and you feel nature here. You can, this is where the lagoon starts of venice and where i think the fun happens or are a little you are not allowed to ski board at all in venice so that i work in this beautiful island. Its amazing that i have all this space idea behind classic boats. Venice was to create a company that was offering Sustainable Choices as it pertains to the marine, the marine industry, so to speak in venice. So we thought to take classical craftsmanship, traditional craftsmanship that was venetian, and in particular a boat like this, which is some people thought which is a traditional venetian sailing boat and rowing boat. And to convert it instead of with an electric engine so that we could rent this without driver. And so that gas could come to venice and experienced a venetian lagoon in a sustainable way, but also in a traditional way from this year, from 2020 looking at it. Venice has suffered a lot in terms of tourism, but on the flip of that, weve got a lot of guests who are looking for sustainable or is which was incredible, which is a big boss for us. And the cleanliness of the city definitely improved. It was a pleasure to welcome you inside venice into the day in the life of someone living in venice. And i hope to see you soon. And now we leave early, and i want to go to the town of the bus by the its only about 50 kilometers from here. And because were already on the subject of sustainability, of course, ill head there by public transport. We regularly show you viewer videos from all over the world and this one on skis through the austrian alps. Maybe its a little inspiration for your next winter vacation. After the pandemic would have to turn to from berlin to a bus by the it takes an hour by car. The train is faster, ill be there in just half an hour. It was about is the town shaped by its industrial history. A good place to find out more about sustainability because theres a university here that deals with the most diverse aspects of sustainability, including tourism. I have an appointment with my hes a Research Associate at the center for Sustainable Tourism at the university of madiba. How did you get interested in Sustainable Tourism . Sympathy and i studied here at the university and earned my musters in Sustainable Tourism management management. Thats always been an interest of mine. And ive always enjoyed travelling and ive seen what kind of affects the tourism. And thats how i 1st got into the subject or here, how would you define Sustainable Tourism in and that children as not had to go to was, was Sustainable Tourism is part of the Overall Concept of sustainability. Its about keeping the impact caused by tourism to an absolute minimum giving the americans not only that impact on nature on the environment, but on the local population of the preferred call for the negative also for negative effects have to be reduced. So the tourism can be used as a positive factor for the regions, the local populations and for a lot more of what can viewers or travelers like me Pay Attention to in order to be as a stain able as possible while travelling not caused by these designs i was this fear that its actually not all that hard for a traveler to behave sustainably on a trip. The 1st thing of course, is to consider where you want to go. Your own region can also be an attractive option. Doesnt always have to be a shopping weekend in new york. You can also have a great, a shopping trip in berlin. But its easier than youd save a lot of money. So my get the right. The 2nd thing, once youve decided are you want to go choose what kind of hotel or lodging you want to stay in a family run operation were certified to business and said if its your own or your quite a few, as you can tell, there are days by the booking sites, but the target from then on i get that. Its a question of what you want to do. I should just tell you they are good. At small restaurants, get around on foot or Public Transportation is a month forecast. And i think none of these things are to do it. Even before that i learn about experience, things. I want to learn something about the culture and the people. And the same time youre doing something good for the environment, the locals, for the preferred warm. There are many insider tips around here. For example, the forest. Its been the World Heritage site since 2000. Well, as is the case with insider tips, they dont. And then the problem starts the normal weekend in the summer of 2020, cars lined the streets and out of people have come from berlin lives. Theres an even as far away as munich to see the gloom scene, forest part of the biosphere reserve. Thats a natural World Heritage site. Theres basically one big intersection and sometimes drivers will park in it so carelessly that nobody else can get through, including buses, fire engines, and farm vehicles. Its a big problem weve got around here. Since you know its going to clear the gloom scene forest part of the natural World Heritage site tourists flock to the beach trees from all over even more. So during the coronavirus lockdown, the villagers arent the only ones affected. The conservationists have had their hands full as well, fixing damage warning signs and trail markers. Its not really self and of course its a lot of work expensive too. If you have to keep renewing signs in an area this large, its also an indication of anger and frustration. But i cant understand why anybody would be face the science. It doesnt help anyone. Its just being destructive or some people dont want any tourism here at all. Only the bare beginnings of the infrastructure for it are popping up at the forest dead. A parking lot for 10 cars and the natural World Heritage bus that runs 5 times a day. When somebody were always blocking my yard to our parking in front of my house, it would eventually get on my nerves. The jurors would like to see fewer cars on their streets. But the increasing bike traffic is causing problems for the community. And its common for seeing growing numbers of cyclists and its very dangerous when i travel here on the rural, i waited one, a winding road with a 100 kilometer an hour speed limit for families on the road with children. Its an untenable situation and we need a cycle path so people can reach the natural World Heritage site and safety. With no end in sight of the tourists streaming to the ancient beach forest, the village is hoping for more support from the state government. Rather mum shows us what Sustainable Tourism looks like, even by that he leads us to the Family Garden, a landscape park on the side of a former rolling mill. We clamber up a crane once part of the industrial fabric that shape the of us by the york at 1st glance, and i only see in the street here. What does this have to do with tourism . Why are you for us . Well, were working on making the connection. We want to make wasnt just real heritage. Weve got the buildings here presentable and available for people to use. And weve already made a start with the Family Garden, for example, where were standing now here on the crisis. And as you can see, its been a success every year. 150000, people come here to the garden to see what there is to discover old and new. What is the idea behind it just showing industry from the past, or is there more to it . You have no beach. No. See here we have industrial culture. This is basically where everything got started. I wouldnt want to work with what weve got. Just have to get whats already here. Were working closely together with the university in the field of tourism, and were trying to integrate the Family Garden as a tourist hot spot and other spots that we have the region meaning for Sustainable Tourism with sites that can be well accessed by public transport, bike or on foot or also try to bring in sustainable astronomy with sustainable products. The words Sustainable Tourism is an Overall Concept and were trying to do our bit by thoughts about it. So yes, Sustainable Tourism is possible in the big city of berlin and in the small town you may not see that immediately. But if you search a bit, you will find it. Just take a little detour or change direction and you will quickly discover something you just like me to. Here on 2nd the bank mealworms house superpowers.
