When speaking unto the reason has developed continuously and other well known areas of the world to lease or even in start to roll in general. Some of the situations here, you know, some really good exponentially in just a few years. It locks through kind accordingly like competitor and challenges that come with it. And also in terms of transport must be nice because we were not prepared for such a large number of visitors. One i already have in china himself contributed to the tourism explosion, albeit in directly when he acted as a stunt man in a popular tv series. The, when the hot this, we completely underestimated the impact i did, especially in the office and im a bit to blame for the whole thing that the board was filmed here. And then a lot of vitality into his came here in the 1st few years afterwards. You had to comment for an even more picture, perfect backdrop. The series transplanted the 3 peaks, the fairly the next morning. Having china is preparing for a mountain tour. Hes taking 2 women from the area on a true nature experience. Even in this, towards the area. We were allowed to come along with our camera in addition to the early hour, the bad weather is contributing to the fact that its quiet this morning actually.

So i get on with no headed out with and youll take us down to the cool hike you might not find on your own current. Wait time. Is it safe to hold . Support leak is this areas of this hot spot . And im just, what most curious come to see, i thought it was looking for glossing is all of us. So for this is also the starting point for a good number of mountain timbers. Feel it back to you and dont get having chooses one of his special wild trails quite literally off the beaten path. Are you leaving your phones to be . He lives on tourism, of course, and thats also important. Thousands if im there are thousands of people here. Every day know what i think nature will suffer further if man, more infrastructure is built different tourism. The fears that more tourism could scare off his target market. Hikers and mountaineers looking to experience pristine nature up close, we wanted to understand the situation better. So we set out on a trip through the golden lights and almost immediately come to a stop. The access road to the 3 peaks was already close that morning. Due to overcrowding, the mountain could only be reached on foot 4 or 5 bus Unesco Commission to study in 2018 to explore conditions here. The study looked at individual hotspots and determine the limits of their carrying capacity. In other words, how many tourists can a place tolerate . The study found that lake bias could tolerate 2000 visitors per day. But on an average day in august, this limit was exceeded 6 fold. And on peak days of 2018, more than 17000 people crowded here. The prox municipality aims to have a maximum of 5000 people that the lake at any one time measures like these traffic controls are meant to help. What do they actually work . Or do restrictions on cars lead to even more Traffic Congestion via the shifting the problem elsewhere. A Traditional Village in south t roll here, there were almost 6000 beds for guest and 3360 residents. The hotel xander is located to illinois to block district. This was once a place where people stump did change horses on the way to venice, to the the hotel with 130 beds is among the best that designed to runs this hotel. And one of his daughters works at the reception. Its a family business. Zonta is also a politician and Vice President of the tourist board. Over the past 50 years, entrepreneurs like him turned which was once of farming region into the tours destination. It is today. So libertys flock here did schema the bottom. Now lets go to the pub this one, the 5 that was wonderful spot when we brought the Christmas Tree to rome have done the hobby, but then i played soccer with brightener 1st, the dispute, etc. Buyer and was my guest at the time the if to buy it back and board to us to the of the big compile out of the policy. It was just extraordinary with these people, with this light coming by the need to be met. The 4 star hotel is fully booked with good, but all guests are out and about enjoying the beautiful local nature. Habits im to is constantly working on new ideas. The vegas, the wellness area needs a lot of space so that people dont feel crowded in any way with us. They need a lot of reading room safety for violence. And by opening up to nature the, this breathing room is twice as big too. It is, there is the spaciousness. Somebodys yeah, its not just about the space and its about the nature you know, to see however, he needs enough pain guests to sustain this high level of comfort and the guests need beds. This could be a sticking point. As the province of south t roll, instituted a bed freeze designed to limit the number of hotel beds in the region. The bed fries came about as part of the regions tourism 2030 plus development concept. The brainchild of counselor on showed up. He manages tourism in self to roll. He explains that new beds can only be added when old ones are lost. The mouse number is probably a measure is radical. He says upper limit will have an effect, but we have to, it is already having an effect thats gone. And that means we have to reorient ourselves. Im, im loc. The growth rate will be the same, will no longer be possible. Obviously, if memory makes no sense and as counter productive and we have cuz its not only the Healthy Development of new or isnt this important to raise most the approval of the local population right now you need to provide the number of overnighted stays in south toodle has risen by some 40 percent and the last 30 years from around 23000000 to more than 33000000 the the number of hotel beds remained comparatively stable in the same period. But there was been a shift from smaller operations to the luxury resorts. Renowned Alpine Research van a bad thing. Questions the effectiveness of restrictions that focus primarily on the number of beds the pit stop lose. The bed freeze does not sold a whole host of problems in tourism. I told you on the email like the fact that overnight, guests and so 2 rules are staying for short term shorter period often does. The Small Businesses are dying. I swear, namely the 23. 00 star hotels run by locals, which tend to be down to earth and operate relatively sustainable if youre lucky enough. I. Meanwhile, the large reserve is equal to 4 or 5 star hotels. You make them down the hotel. These are all negative developments that are not influenced, told by the med freeze, i think stop the ball detours. And theres also booming, and its still the effect to the tells us most the. In other words, what at the fed fees would be 1. 00 good measure to install, but it would have to be followed by other measures. And thats not happening for me to forward. When dust is doc ms to see the owner of the for star hotels on to is not overly worried. That will be does somebody be a moment on i believe that this is certainly a new challenge yourself to role at the moment youre seeing it out. If what it is youre seeing a lot of political zigzags and patient c consecutive no how by solve it. So i think it will resolve itself in the end. Well discuss it. I believe the economy, it can be 50 or the managed lights, and the economy will develop on its own and make the best of this situation on the some of these type. Its this out and thats why i believe this is much ado about nothing. Thats mag. If i used to be, if you buy the, the Mountain Guides of each dyna and the 2 hikers have now reached open terrain. The rain has led up and theres no sign of the crowd down by the lake, them and bus. No hyundai is money if you know your way around the doesnt take long to get to a place. There are fewer people who as close as locals. We especially like it if we can avoid the crowds with even inflect seasons that will end us. I dont know if that makes the time, not me. I mean it will stay on the path for a while. I get along the trail on and then branch off off on crossover was always a pass along the grassy ridge to the claiming route. Conflict in china wants to make things even more exciting today with a special climbing around on the way to the summit. Solitude and tranquility. The contrast of the crowds, 500 meters below and lake providers couldnt be greater global shown, i think were discussion of right into the area is extremely popular with terrific song please. Im probably the mountaineer who really wants to get items in nature. Does their research or the need of this perhaps the here that there are so many people here and then think to themselves, well see them and im not going there from engineering anymore on the my income tax time from my point of view, this is almost cushion quieter, up here on the 19th of the rocky summit round, opens onto a spectacular view. He said at a head, facing, facing insignificant island full had looked. But then there was rain again and a thunder storm. The wind and weather conditions make further ascent impossible. Natural World Heritage of clothes, but what does receiving the unesco designation actually signify . The scene to the hands of the meeting has gone a little sideways up this can i have the feeling that a lot more people are coming here because of that type of item though . It takes a minute, well that means is more people drive their cars over the passes and dont really stop to look at the shower experience it by hiking and leaving and then pass by the unesco idea is we have some quite caught on this go down cuz its nick gone. So whats going on . The shift in scenery. A visit to lake cut, its not far from bows on. This beautiful attraction has been off limits for years. That was the only way to protect it. This faint Mountain Lake and the door the nights can only be viewed like an exhibition in an open air museum. Marlena phone has brought her family here today. For years now, the architect has been campaigning to protect the region and its nature from over development, cheese and municipal council, their member of the alpine club and is passionate about locals. Heritage conservation in recent years, the area around the lake cutty to has repeatedly been the site of conflict over proposals for a new cable car and other development project. I dont see if they nissan, of thousands of us was somehow amazed at what has happened in recent years in terms of new building and conversions and expansions of this. So can i say im surprised at how nature has to be subordinate that will allow people told them were still have that feeling that i have to do something about it wrong because if i remain silent, good, i dont feel good with any. But when i point out that not everything thats going on, ok so, so the feels like im doing the right thing really. This is the least to give is you can always because of everything on this. So humans today, malayna bona plans to meet representatives of the most important nature and Landscape Conservation organizations in south t roll deal. Adopt a manifesto for the protection of the during the nights. Then theyll present this manifesto to the lawmakers in the province. This the maam, your football and this the mouth of in the morning we installed the more we destroy or very foundation, navigate that. And psychologically i think were losing so much because were just focused on my or mac. How can we build or stand out more from the center of attention, even more glass compete even more with other ski resort, these other mountain resort. Im just conclusions. Thanks. Pure competitive thinking and i think thats good for destroying peoples company. It ruins, tourism, and its not good for people. I think that i think whats new facilities at to response attract ever bigger crowds. The latest project planned for the mountain town, a 7 story glass tower. The plan was met with great resistance from Nature Conservation associations and the unesco World Heritage foundation. The ideas now being resolved by the prominence of the south detroit. But science of construction work can still be seen that every turn, the, the activists work for different nature and the heritage protection associations. Theyve chosen the coding the hood to thats the place to compose their statement. It stands under the landmark rosen gotten mountain range. Part of a landscape that is being more and more heavily developed in a push for more tourism. The group talks about how to stop the development and how to reach as many people as possible. Theres an awful, they are simply staging our landscape. Owns it doesnt need staging. They kind of has to be done. So rooms think its not enough business. No. Reasonable, sure to. So the important thing is that this is not just a gut feeling, making studies, proven eating program. Every survey shows that people come here because of the landscape because of the authenticity date because of the mountain itd be about. So were basically rooting the basis of our little quality of life on the one hand and tourism on the other end. So names part of the day on the side, so our phones on the east coast they also discussed the new tourism concept, which they dont think will make much difference. And then, but the other state papers always talk about the importance of nature and Landscape Conservation and Environmental Protection if clicked on it. And he and the problems are buried in the details. I mean, if it came to legislation and certain regulations when it comes to implementation and the problem is then these big ideas no longer apply setting. And this will probably around in the last couple of decades, especially economic interests of gain, the upper hand, the development of the alps is one direct result and something the sell to roll. The an alpine conservationist want to put a stop to. This is a serious money if theres disease, this does not by the name of the manifesto is to wake up the population or the iris di since, although some people are already turned into these discussions since he believes to these cities. But there is still a lack of awareness on politics and businesses help us do, but of either quality comple to be able to escape based on the suppose we decided to do something acceptable. That for example, the proteins, the size to rule is financing 75 percent of this cable car. A new claim, a check was carried out in the mail or they already have cable cars that can transport more people up to maintenance every day. And then the number of People Living in sites. Terrell t v and theyre already some 35. 00 additional projects. W
