A significant role in attracting sir is to use these spots around the world today. 80 percent of travelers visit just 10 percent of the worlds tourism destination. And residents of these instagram of the locations are always thrilled with the fluids arriving on the show. Im very impossible and this is the stream. The white locals are literally like. Please dont come enough tourism to interpretation is a major problem in mexico city. Say a german woman ran up in the temple and they did. A danish woman was arrested for exposing himself to a public, a burdensome man was arrested as he tried to solve Police Officers for not paying his bar to people, made it to the islands are now getting water cut off because of the surface of torres that have came in an overcrowded molly. Prices and brands have driven out look at people and its almost as if they are the background noise to this western disney land. Instagram for little bit people are before us, are living the a by 25, c, d u n. For the next step, the number. 7 of terrorists worldwide will reach 1800000000 meetings, a great, the pressure on hot spots, housing crises, cultural erosion, environmental degradation.

So joining us to discuss this all guests from 3 communities that are directly affected by these issues. Dont for kiana found the education through travel who was born and raised in hawaii. Cyrus watch the put tree a bottle of these permit academic and Alex Gonzalez overrides a mexican martha and historian. Thank you all for being here with us. Um sarah swap, you can i ask you 1st, you are joining us. One of the most instagram locations in the wild body. What shocks you the most between the depictions you see of bali on social media and the reality of life for locals. Thank you, man. Social media is a powerful tool, but oftentimes its the big thing. A really narrow and also a constructive 3 l a b of body and, and one in one sense theres this valley ask uh, a 1000 temples island, the gods and goddesses island, paradise. But then in, in opposition of it. Of course we know now recently in body theres been viral reviews of, of taurus on visitors, of being violent and endangering themselves and others, and trespassing into secret spaces. And i think it, so its, its, its quite sad about that. Those imagery are the trash thing. Um, ideas, so by you know, me, onyx, i want to ask you about mexico city, which has seen a huge influx of cycle digital. No mags post curve it all digital norma venue, jen for 5 years. Well, i think the an excuse for the gentrification was seeing mexicos that he has more or less appreciate it in terms of its a value of the rent about 7 to 8 percent of the past 5 years. But this is entirely down to foreigners. Its very easy to point of them, but mexico cities huge in the foreigners, are very much concentrated in certain areas that are popular areas. But these areas are already being gender aside from before. So i think its a broad conversation that weve got to be having delta care in a hawaii is one of the most Popular Service destinations in the world. As someone who works in Sustainable Travel. What are some of your main concerns around how people currently visit the islands . The people currently visit the islands without any consideration for the people who live there often displacing local residents out of this year or more hawaiians live outside of the u. Then inside the island, so how tourist choose to spend their tourism dollars and real estate they occupy and who they how they choose to participate in culture, activities all determine the life of local people there. When you travel, do you think of yourself as a visitor in someone elses home or as a tourist and does it matter . Take a look at this. Every experience torres like experience and mollys there seem to be a level of disrespect there that ive never seen before. I feel like this is the prime example of this didnt really t, which is a largely muslim island. And these signs are everywhere. Asking people not to walk around in the beginning. Obviously as an island, people are on the beach. People are in bikinis, thats fine, but theyre asking people not to wear them when theyre like, Walking Around the town. Yet almost everyone i saw was Walking Around town in bikinis and its unexcused of oh, i didnt know because the signs are everywhere. And this was something that i feel like i saw so much involved in like all different aspects just in terms of like littering. And i dont know like just taking a 1000000 pictures everywhere to like a degree would have never seen before. But i just think it was so crazy that if youre going to travel somewhere, youre not going to respect what people are asking from you. So. So i see, im just recently in kyoto in japan for us have been banned from certain parts of the geisha area. Is the geisha district, is the way that people visit bali, leading to any tensions with locals. And if so, one of those tensions around as well as i said earlier that theres this social tension happening in bali. And the main problem is how local views are not being respected. And i think also how the visitors and im thinking about what you said, the torres, theyre thinking body as a just another hot spot to some other content for them to upload. Its reducing valley and, and the society as mary and mary objects, where as i think of when were visiting a place, slips really interesting about the place and the space as the people and how we connect to the people. Im at the key or not. You recently led a visit to pal hall, but in hawaii where you sold to on the ancestor routes of that site, can you send us a little bit about that and what happened and what problem that sort of reveals really . Yeah, sure. Um the so pro harbors a number one most visit a destination on a walk through one of the islands because i e. And um, it is a military base to everybody else except for native hawaiian people, its native hawaiians, its literally called pearl harbor because it used to be covered with pearls. But after the military are occupied, you know, one girl find pearls on our trips. We go to prohibited to honor what it is to hawaiian people, which is an ancient secret burial grounds. And in that process, let me go to state grid spaces. We do protocol we chat, we ask permission to enter into the play, cuz sometimes we leave offerings depending on the location. And in this case we left an offering chat in order to answer which is very, very, very common in Hawaiian Culture. And actually the most proper way to enter into a sacred space. Um, recently i brought a height highschoolers about 20 of them to visit pearl harbor, but to learn the hawaiian side of it. And were confronted by the National Guard and ended up being a whole entire front line between my 2 Hawaiian Culture practitioners. Myself and my staff and 20 High School Students are visiting from brooklyn. Um, participating in a very innocent chat and being matched with a full line of National Guards um, threatening to kick us out. Not letting us enter saying that we are not allowed to practice these things on, on a National Park property. Um, it was extremely intense. We had to have a download about it afterward, especially with the chaperones and the kids and their parents. Um and thats just for a simple song. Yeah. Uh and so this, this, this contributes to how tourism affects how cultures are preserved and the commodification of culture. Well tourism changes local cultures and a multitude of ways. Check this out. This is how bad the gentrification and so you have the make you go is truly getting affecting how local businesses run there every day. But kids dont even make spicy sands us anymore. Cuz the u. S. Remote workers that move their dont like the spicy sides. That could be yes. Are losing business. Youre almost uh basically the comment that you have this was part of the comments im in office. I keep because i find they are not the backup book. It is an all because you might be going to open hazards are being shut down in order to make way for modern work spaces. Locals are being turned down from jobs if they cant speak english to serve the us remote workers. Alex, this might be thought of as a somewhat humorous point, but there is a more serious diamond sion to it isnt the to yes, i mean cause those non spicy sources symptomatic of what were seeing across mexico cities tourist area. But i really want to emphasize how important it is to realize how much better to use a tonic city. Its not can coo and its not educated specifically the tourism. Its got married or other things to focus on. And so even though its quite easy to blame choice because thats already publicly stupid, sometimes its also a very easy way to hide whats really going on at the next couple of the economist. What else im talking about, what sort of going on below the, the surface and this has to do more with the infrastructure. So usually they got mexico. The fact that perhaps no ones would be talking about what we locally called the development mafia. This is a local, political, and Economic Group that breaks laws and can modify Living Spaces from more than the 7th of the 72000 all at b and bs counseling fated in the room at columbus have polanko areas of mexico city. So i think theresa often problematic no doubt, but theyre also a very good way to hide structural and preexisting issues in the cities. Thanks. But clarifying thats um the key on the, the, the who lot is probably one of the best known hawaiian traditions. But that has also been impacted hows net yes. So if you go to oftentimes and on the airplanes, i always hear people ask each other. Oh, what do you do and how the e and its like, oh i went to allow, oh, i saw who i show. But, but actually all of those are out of context, especially if were going to hotel to do it. We dont have a spiritual practice thats done as an offering to the god. Its been a natural spaces at done during specific times and for specific purposes. And now its just been commodified so much that its really just, sometimes its performed for tourists and you can even see it. And the 2 types of hula that exists. One is called because chico, which is the ancient, where intern practice and the western are started coming to the island. They changed to a lot about the new one is called alana and its slower. It has different rhythms. Its not as quote unquote sexual, but they have different clothing. Uh so you can see how things change. Uh, western the western gaze starts to enter into culture. Theres fluffy, im struck by how the pictures of bali riley ever feel connected to indonesia or by them use culture. In fact, it reminds me of the coloring. Youll adage, allows without people for people with outlined. Do you see a colonial dimension to travel today . It definitely, i think whats happening now, its kind of a legacy of the colonialism happening in indonesia and by the particular because value was presented to the world during the 19 twentys. Under the dutch, from colonialism as like the gateway to the paradise. And its being portrayed and its being projected to the world with that sense of exotic and romantic feeling. But in reality, whats really happening is people are losing their land. Theres plenty of persistent problems like water starts to see because of the ongoing clash with the demands of the expansion of tourism. And um, i think instead of we can imagine a different idea of tourism what, what happened in body instead of having empowered the local people the body needs. What is happening right now is exploitation a. Bonnie m o is a travel writer whose work focuses on the intersection of the colonize ation and the travel of culture. And this is what they had to say about the roots of the tourism industry. You know, colonialism, it transformed it and really kind of burst. So the way that we considered travel, the ways that we talked about travel and how travel physically transforms the place and, and that project, i mean, you have this clash of the powerful and the dispossessed, you know, of these explorers going to as well. Lance and seeing what they found. And really it was all for the for resources, right . As to, to put people know if it turn will kind of Service Place and a place of servitude true and another power for their economic wealth and for their enjoyment. As i say, tourism is the leisurely phase of colonialism. So there is this idea and this never ending excuse of, im helping the economy. They need me. Its something i call the tories savior. Its like, where would you be if we werent here, you know, supporting you, you know, back from folks, sorry, but thats what youre saying. Youre saying they need or what was, why, how was it surviving before you came like thats how Tourism Industries flourish out of the development of local industry. You have so many coastal places have, you know, local fisheries were just the heart of, of a lot and thats how the fisher folk, you know, work are coastal people and then resorts come, your pose, boulders like, you know, look at jamaica. I mean, you have to travel further or further away to serve people who are from far, far away and you just cannot survive and live sustained to be in the place that you were honestly born into unsustainably. I like 5 sense. You may have a reactions about video or i think its, its, its a very valid point to make. But again, its of this gauging the dynamics within places like mexico that have a long history of internal colonialism. Long after the spanish left, the columbia leap continue to rule this country and we see, and again, its no coincidence that its the partial parts of mexico that got all the tourist insightful this to us dollars. And then suddenly at the local that leads found themselves being lost out of their own areas. Now its, its sort of ironic because these are the people gentrifying these as before. And they happened to invoke the very people who could beat them at their own game. So again, i think its very interesting, always seeing this sort of domino effect, because all these people who are most vocally complaining about gentrification and mexican, such as these tend to have been the general size themselves. And we have this domino effect, but youve got the sort of central a towards the areas, the gentrified areas pushing out previous gentrified. So then go on to genta fi less than 5 areas. And weve got this domino effect going on across the mexico city. How can you solve this . I think its a massive sort of question because its easy to say, well, how are they surviving before the tourist always came in . Well, with industry the polluted r, as extracted the water. So weve got very exploitative industries going on before the end of the gentrification before and after tourism. Its not as easy as saying get rid of all the choice, but because we do actually need that money, we do actually need that diverse economy. Its more about decentralizing it, and i think thats the key, at least in mexico. Get people out of the same of places, i think, to enjoy them anyway. Its mo, from a little frantic few. Well, those karen, i, i wanna bring you in on that. Are there any parallels in hawaii that i wouldnt say that, but i do want to say that i think that that comment on that video is a very, very narrow view of the world. Polynesians are steve ferrers, i mean probably just have traveled for thousands and thousands of years. They were a tourist, but before there was tourism, i mean you see that what japanese shirts you see that with indigenous trading, all along the border of canada and mexico. The united states, so they were all tourist and they were all, i guess who could exploiting resources. But it was in balance. It wasnt a balance to way that people would have an exchange. And i think youre saying like, for us are bad or travel is bad. Well, thats not accurate because human but human spc is inmates of travel. We were a nomadic when we started out. So i dont think that the answer is get rid of all the tourists. Like alex said, its just creating a more balanced system, especially economically. And alex again pointed out that the elite exists everywhere. And the, i would say, its more of a capitalistic structure that is being hurtful to those who can dont. There is no equality. Um, so i think that creating an equal balance monetary lee would balance out to travel and tourism and the harmful effects of it because there are awesome effects of tourism. And yeah, some of it is economic, but a lot of it as cultural, the spread of idea, the spread of culture, it opens mines. It creates like diverse points of view. I think that bonnie is, is, is, has like a very short narrow version of what it means to travel. Got it alex. I want to read you back in a 2nd by what oscar especially about this i do, you know, can travel is better and show may be that the money is just going back into the local economy. Is a ways that maybe they could be more focused on that. Uh yeah. Um tourism in valley is a big business. Um. Um last year 2023 by the welcome warrant ends by 1000000 people uh to our tiny island. And um, the, the problem is we have to be very careful and thinking about how to create the sustainable economy that process for uh, the, uh, presler um the people the, the local people of bodies. So um, currently whats happening, the profits are going mostly to the, the, the come to the cooperation from glum darcy and foreign investors. And creating. 5 a widening gap between rich and poor, and i think we must try to tell people how we can, how, how we can promote agencies by the nice people making their decisions. And um, having their decisions ends up and being accommodated. Theyre the. A voices and thats, thats were, thats what were trying to do right now. I like so you wanted to come back. Yes. Within this discussion we had a long ridge discussion and the ones that we mentioned to the states and its role. I think its incredibly convenient for governments to not get involved. You dont want to touch the with the golden goose and so the state often just needs intervene, but its so much the state can do right. Regulation of the space is not huff house of let regulation, like weve seen here in mexico city, where we since think of a list of that b and b is a very little to do with what actually happens afterwards. Public housing, i mean this redistributes after that, the doctor mentions i think is crucial because its not about limiting towards theres nothing about telling them not to come Us Communities to live from these people. But its where the state can come in and we just do with that money effectively amongst the community that can be effective from the arrival of a massive holdups taurus. I would like to keep dr. Karen, and can i ask you about Sustainable Travel then on or off the back of that . And if i do that, sometimes obviously what brings people to these, you know, usually sports will make sense like popular or like cheap package. Holidays is more sustainable. Travel inherently more expensive and is that something we just need to accept . I think thats an excellent question. Um, so for example, on our trips, we the average for a spend 4000. 00 a week and how about you . And all of that money most likely is leaving the island. The island is covered with corporations and as i was put it out, the states could be controlling that, but they dont. Um, and so these corporations pocket, all those money and as far as the money coming into, how about you . And then we have like local agent to use like mine who offer a 100 percent native hawaiian vendors, uh, native wine classes, native wine culture events. And people repeatedly have started like your, your, your trips are too expensive. Im trying to do. Hawaii, im a cheap and im like okay, if, why is this present to you . How do you think it is for hawaiian . How do you think that they survive in such an expensive place . And so, yes, our trips are expensive because we pay a living wage. The regular local native hawaiian people can survive in their own homeland so we arent displacing them. Um sir, so ill tell you, i wanna give you the final word if i may, on this id or maybe more responsible tourism. If there was a way, the if there was one thing maybe that you could ask visitors to do differently when theyre coming to body. What might it be . Oh, as a valley maze and also whose family working for years and tourism. I, i treasure, meeting and encountering a lot of people from different parts of the world and from different walks of life. Its, its, its a part of, its a part of a unique meeting with other people and we enjoy that. Um, i think as visitors, uh we are not passive individuals and we can be an, an active and at a more, more practical that we can, that we can care about the, the face that we have a special memories on. And i think thats, thats that kind of feel like theres response, the responsibility of that also entails as whenever we are visiting a place. Well, i wanna thank you uh all of you, my guess. So dont say key or no cyrus, why fi . And alex, of course i want to thank you for watching. Did you enjoy the show we want to hear from you . If there is a conversation, i was hoping you would like to talk to with retail on social use, the hash tag or the handle ag stream, and well look into it. Take care and ill see you soon. The god promised abraham. This is the land that is going to belong to you and to your children forevermore right here in my back yard sale.
