thing to stand with the people like in this situation that it's not like the bad guys and the good guys and who do we stand with just like there are children mothers. people are dying this is the satellite imagery of one syrian town and what's happened to it in recent months but it's far from clear whether there's a way to stop yet further destruction and loss of life james out zira of the united nations. now as being 100 years since of national museum and kabul was 1st established many of its play islamic artifacts were destroyed by the taliban 18 years ago baathists are now working to restore them. shares it in software has been working at the afghan national museum for 38 years he was one of 3 museum employees ordered by the taliban in march 2001 to bring

statues out of the safe room for them to destroy he says the taliban was wrong to target the museum. it's important for afghanistan because it shows the history of this country it's not about worship it tells us how people lived in the past. side mohammed was a taliban commander at the time the museum was ransacked he has no regrets. there used to be many tourists from around the world coming to afghanistan they were just here to visit they were here as part of the pilgrimage i think in an islamic country there is no place for the keeping or sharing of statues. it's been nearly 2 decades is the taliban was toppled from power many afghans are worried about a future peace deal between the united states and the group they say they don't want to go back to a time when their cultural heritage was systematically destroyed. we are afraid

that if. we like again such kind of. act against the heritage regime is so concerned he's looking for an international company to ensure the museum's artifacts so that if necessary they could be moved abroad meanwhile afghan artists curators and international experts are restoring the damaged displays hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of painstaking work to ensure those determined to raise afghanistan's. heritage don't succeed victoria gating be al-jazeera. johnson as a northern ireland to discuss a break that with political leaders as he continues a tour of the united kingdom on tuesday the british prime minister was a wales but he tried to play down the risk of another day alexis from the european union johnson once again called on the e.u. to renegotiate the deal. we're not aiming for a new deal bet it in which we don't think that's where we'll end up this is very

cambodia. and i really could be here in the stream going on holiday that is something that many people look forward to yes chance to get away from the stress of everyday life and let loose at a new place but what if that new place is too crowded can you relate whether as a tourist or a resident of a city catering to tourists share your thoughts with us via twitter or our live you tube chat. venice barcelona. p.q. all of these popular destinations have become overwhelmed by tourists in recent years and local residents are starting to say enough in june and massive cruise

ship crashed into adult in venice injuring 5 people the incident was the last straw for many local residents thousands gathered to protest the vessels and the toys who writes in on them have a look at this. when i see these big bruisers passing by the cast a shadow on my entire and i feel a sense of doom. but this is a case study for what travel experts are warning will be the new normal from now on that's thanks to a growing global middle class and cheaper air fares so our cities prepared for over tourism here's what one eco friendly travel group has to say. in 1950 there were 25000000 tourist arrivals worldwide this number grew exponentially of the following 70 years and reached 1300000000 by 2017 it's estimated it will reach

1700000000 by 2030 all over the world is what happens when an industry which is being started but is very little begins to bump up against the limits of our environment and the physical limits of space and it's in that said i think it's it's not a rush it's all over the world. joining us to discuss over tourism today is meghan aplan wood from reading pennsylvania megan is the director of the international sustainable tourism initiative at the harvard th chance school of public health sweetie balaji joins us from new delhi india as she is a travel journalists and car and editor for the outlook for sponsible tourism initiative as finding we have dominic standish is the author of venice in environmental peril with every outing and everybody to see he sent us a picture this gorgeous picture as i'm going to show them to everybody on my laptop

this is a stunning place festival where in the world this is. i think the game of thrones i mean you know when the audience goes live immediately you know it they're having the song this is king's landing. yes yes that's the problem let's. check now why do you send us this punk check us festival. i think you know this was in contrast to some of the other pictures that i sent you off the city of the old city old town where you could actually see just how many people were walking the streets that morning and you know it it's that 1st view that we saw is something that takes your breath away but it's these that you know that make you think a little bit harder and don't get me wrong i'm from india you know i'm used to crowds i you know i am part of the crowd myself so i i don't see it as being you

know something that that that should shock a person like myself but it did really because it seemed to be wrong to just have so many people walking through those beautiful streets and not really you know looking at the you know they were there it was an idea of the police that they were there for and not not really you know to grab me it was. the most of them and you know say the last occasion a classic example from the perspective of what over tourism is in 29. yes i would say so. so i'd love all of our guests to have a look at this on my screen here just from google or couple of pictures and our audience at home as well to see that this is st augustine in the u.s. state of florida and i want to share with you a video coming from someone who lives there he is a local business owner and is also a resident and he told us about what he's been experiencing when it comes to

tourism how to listen to brett. this is the old the city in the country so we've had our share of tours before but nothing like this the last years this town has been a nightmare for the locals who the worst traffic never seen there's hardly any parking at the beach and the tourists here have no respect for us or the community even garbage everywhere not to mention many of the locals that live here on the beach for years now and due to the fact the rising costs of living here on the island and no new hotels condos restaurants and bars have covered our beautiful once little beach town and i don't think it'll be the same again so megan you could see what he laid out there when we talk about over tourism is this what we're talking about whenever tourism is a totalistic term that relate primarily to crowding so yes we are some of the

most beautiful places on earth becoming increasing over crowded yes this is a good example to me just remind everybody where you live and the experience as a local that we have when. i live in the venice region it's a lead i mean it's just slightly outside of the city which i will say yes pretty busy at times although i question whether it's really across this you know sometimes i get stuck and i mean why why much into a meeting and it's annoying. but it's not really up until recent. you have been basically keeping track of examples of various saying you know we're tired of all of these tourists this is long before we started to do the show so i'm just going back to living through some of your tweets 23 year old canadian find 250 euro for sunbathing in a bikini in public gardens in venice that's one story you can track off to british

tourists find 350 euros in venice for being bare chested and pushing their bikes by hand in the city center bikes are back and one more but you've kept track are so many more 1st 3 people are banned from venice are foreigners for playing tricks on passers by dominic what is going on in venice with tourists and phoenicians had enough of the tourists coming to visit them. well i think about every straightforward thing has happened which is that for years and years tourists of increasingly treats its environmental and cultural has and that is says taken it a step further by the city council to take the lead these new regulations introduced in may and essential what they're doing is they're criminalizing fairly normal behavior so somebody doing an art like that canadian woman is a public place she's wearing a bikini and she gets fined walking around with you should talk pushing

a bike you're not really troubling anyone but again people are getting fined and they're also getting anish from the city to german tourists recently who were making coffee on a small portable coffee maker so she out of the way of other people no evidence of littering they not only got fines but they got banished from the sit sit so i think this is a real problem. you know and it's not not only in venice you see in barcelona now if you walk around in your youth in costume in the center barcelona you can be fined in rome you can even now be fined for dressing as a said tuireann or saying on public transport. or eating food in non designated outside areas there's also a man spray i think i might have well i didn't want to get a reading now many cats well you know i think this has gotten people on social media need to be aware of this because unaware tourists are going to places and

they're getting f.t. climbs and travel bans it's friday i have a comment because i mean i appreciate your viewpoint than the theology of tourism which i know is your expertise but there's a lot bigger picture here to deal with for the readers and folks that are watching us today and that is that the rapid growth of tourism is creating a whole new paradigm for death and. ishan now they may be struggling with putting in the right type of regulations which is what you're talking about but i think what you're saying is minimizing the problem in a way that will harm the overall process because what we need to do is come up with a much more alert way of managing the intensifying crowds and i disagree with you this is a global crisis i'm sure that choice can speak to the issues in india say for example at some of the most important monuments in the world like taj mahal. so i mean just you know things in perspective recently they what they were large

indications that that were applied in india and because it does have been even though there's a knock off about 2 things up from just 50 rupees to visit the monument and there's a cattle about $40000.00 visitors a day and a 3 hour limit so anybody who exceeds the 3 hour limit is you know has to pay once again and you can imagine how livid the locals you know who might be all the indians visiting my d. that they have to buy another ticket to just stay on for 3 and a half oz if they've exceeded it by even by half an hour but you know it doesn't matter at the end of the day if you have $7000000.00 tourists coming in to see one monument and it's just you know it's in its relentless i think there is need for there is need for regulation and you know you may have identified

a few things that seem particularly you know. you know it's a bit over much less for you but you know it depends on which culture you are going to your kids could be actually deeply disrespectful in india to be walking around bare bare chested in the northern parts of india but if you walk into a temple in southern india as a man that's absolutely fine so those on one of those that somebody was coming in for a few days into india may not necessarily be aware also and you know that kind of it is yeah yeah just a quick comment because just today headlines in the united states with that there's a huge water crisis in india in some of the most important tourism destinations now we already know that terrorism and tourists in particular use about $8.00 to $10.00 times the amount of water that a local with youth and sometimes depending on the resort it can be even much more. or so from the public health perspective for example we're beginning to see

a different kind of crisis that is not just about crowding it's about how do we share resources around the world now we see this in india bali is another epicenter of this problem where we're seeing tourists literally use water that locals can no longer gain access to these are serious problems that we can't minimize by way of discussing whether we wear a bikini tops or not so when you are at home and i want to get in here because i want to share a comment on you tube there's so many comments coming in live right now because so many people can relate to this topic so i want to share just one of them this from alexander who says my city of a 150000 people will receive close to 400 cruise ships this year the city is overwhelmed and he's speaking to us from savander norway and other people are are weighing in on what he's saying so that's just one example but when it comes to the cruise ship when it comes to the crowds of people coming in here's what sophia ventured to say limits visits to the city to certain times of the year this would

also allow the city to continue to function as a home for people in venice probably would never happen however i know of no place that implements this but venice can start dominick i'll be a major if i could go ahead go ahead clearly you have a lot of the so here we go is that basically a lot of people are now talking about stopping or seeing or season allies doing it and our new report invisible burden of tourism look seriously at how we're going to handle capacity not by stopping or abrupt stopping of tourism but rather at creating sophisticated reservation systems now we may have to get to work through that question of how that will work but there is no question that there is a very sophisticated set of tools that are fully available to monument cities cruise lines everyone is a sharable to. all of that airlines and you now that quote demand management and

there is absolutely no reason that definitely around the world that dominic go ahead yeah i mean of course tourism can be managed better and in the case of venice i'm very much in favor of great seeing a new doc in court for cruise ships outside the dentist and getting people into the city using a subway train system which i think would be a huge improvement so the experience of tourism controlling the flows and also be much better for the environment because it would reduce journeys all around look at so we can manage tourism a lot better coming back to sleep these points i agree that culturally where you walk around with a shirt off koran is it's important to be sensitive and i would tend to walk into some knots churching with much of a sock but of course there's a different context in the gardens i've also got a question though you mentioned this charge for people in new delhi to go and see

sights and that's an important question because venice is proposing an entrance chanche to the city next year for a day trip there's even a riding in the city and i wonder to what extent you feel that also discriminates against poor tourists whether they're local or from what else land. so i agree that you know that it could be seen as a you know discriminate tree but look at the numbers you know. just if you look at the mess dick tourism in india alone is a huge huge problem because we have over 600000000 people who are roughly in the middle class range and you know they're traveling everybody's traveling you know so it's it's it is going to take time for us to arrive at the right solutions but if you they are also trying to make it accessible to as many people as possible this is the basic entrance fee for the average indian tourist anywhere else of

our monuments or $150.00 rupees at best so it's not it's not a huge sum for somebody who was looking to travel and from what i have been told i mean our figures are spectacular you know 150000000 people can afford long distance travel for leisure i'm told and 500000000 people are on on the internet and they are you know they're booking a holiday is the beginning to book quality is on the internet so you know it's these numbers are only going to swell. maybe pricing rising or the only solution gets to me just bring in another what might make it hold tight for a moment i want to share this with you and you can weigh in on it as part of the roof of people who are traveling comes from the developing world the developed world have been traveling for many many many years but those a new category of toys and it's something that our colleagues at one o one ace looked at they were looking at the number of chinese toys coming into

paris and heading into front and then the tension that that was creating with the numbers and also the difference in the culture have a look at it i mean talents report from paris from one o one. they don't say hello they don't speak english they don't speak french well new speak chinese when you have 10 people chinese people coming in i know. it's very nosy and i don't understand. but she says what really gets to her is the spitting the woman she came. to and she has a name in english. in the in the floor and you know like well. so that's one example if i'm thinking about the south of spain and the number of europeans in the south of spain we can get a for english breakfast there with some seats that you can eat the british culture is how we really change the south of spain and parts of the south of spain so it's

not just developing well countries who actually do this to an area is this a problematic or is this just how we are around the world we visit different places we influence different places shweta you stuff just show i mean bad behavior is bad behavior you know it. was insensitive was insensitive tourist it has nothing to do with whether you are from a developing nation are not i understand that you know differences and make it hard to bridge that gap and you know that that's the biggest barrier at the end of the day i think it would be it would be very very wrong to just you know say that this is a problem that is restricted to dorris from developing nations it's more from the increase of who who is travelling from around the world it's not just a few elite people it's many many other countries and cultures or getting into the mix my can you take. part of globalization and i think we've seen the history of

tourism showing us that the koreans are that bothered folks that were in indonesia or when i was in the philippines doing workshops there was complaints from the filipinos about chinese so these are parts of the countries mixing for the 1st time but we've also seen is that as tourists become more sophisticated they become more respectful so i want to share this as an explanation for why we are seeing greater numbers of people out and about in all these places this is just in on twitter he says the biggest the 3 biggest reasons for the growth in hotspots are the artificially low cost of aviation the fuel is not taxed the rise in the middle classes in developing countries and a narrow focus on places generated by instagram and social media of course the rise of the hash tag and the rise of people tagging where they are so i want to share with you this idea from someone in instagram i posted this picture from multiple

just one of these places where tourists are flocking to because many of its city many of its spots were featured in the game of thrones someone wrote back and said have you been following the concept of no geotagging i just came across it through a photo journalist apparently it's been making the rounds to address how geotagged suddenly make previously untouched by tourist spots flooded all too often simply capture that one shot bringing all the environmental chaos but tourists bring to a locale so that is one idea but i want to share with you one more idea and this is be a video comment from neil speaks to us from scotland have a listen. on the topic of what to do as a man specifically with scotland in mind the solutions are over in 2 key things as far as i can see firstly is the need to despair soffit through the course of a counted you know we are very very busy in july and august and it's a boat trying to encourage people to come in the shoes of seasons and even the went to as well for definitely an experience with lace crates secondly it's

a bit of training because people who we from the technical tutors routes they say i thought it was going to tend to involve sky when it's impossible north was 500 as a result which is a secular heaving effect to boston and the best season so people consider they were tentative and there are plenty over with in school and each of those locations we can spread that shopping spend a lot of across the whole country if we can do that we can really get tutors and working for the whole economy within the short term and sustainably and the womb as well. so dominic encouraging people to go to other spots what's your take on a lot of the suggestion yeah i like those last comments about developing from school systems to move people around but i've decided very much that we need to develop to enable that you also mentioned. i was speaking at a conference on open source and then actually in the fall and one of the key problems that is that the roads get for

a jump with traffic because they haven't been trying system it's all stops and trying systems and that would really really help move people around best results so i think you know we need to really look positively about how to respond to challenges and you mentioned the growth in tourism as projects it's the numbers that you've got from the un will tourism organization earlier in the program is quite interesting because if you look at the increase in international travelers from 25000000 in 1950 to $1300000000.00 in 2007 saying it's over a 5000 percent increase the project has increased on those basis to 2030 is one point i 1000000000 which is only 38 percent more i think we can cut about dominic we're already. we're already experiencing at sea level and yet and also another very important point is that domestic tourism is not included in those figures and in most places you know you would see as we've just discussed for india a large

percentage of tourists in developed and and many developing economies is from the domestic scene so as a you know one of the challenges of the scottish comment is that the overall growth rate is probably going to overwhelm the dispersions strategy i'm working with scotland and they have now beginning to put in place what i would call management systems on the ground we just can't count on marketing and new. ways of marketing to fix this problem we have to look at the impact in its scientific manner and work with government so that we make sure that local resources both social and environmental are not over with so meghan and t. and germany i mean the very last minute of the program we could talk about toys and then traveling for much much longer if you were going to give us one piece of advice about how to be a responsible tourist what would it be and it has to be brief dominic because c'est

welcome people don't regulate don't treat people like criminals and enjoy the cultural education are already well you see the problems what's your advice for being responsible or still active mind there are many many inspired ideas that are coming out of people are doing firefly troops they're doing astral tourism villages you know outside of the ready as sort of advice thank you so much it's even little space for mega god how can i be a responsible tourist magen i think you should advocate that your turf and tax dollars go to protection of the nation ok thank you maggie and sweaty and dominate our conversation will continue online you will find me can i at a day stream on twitter thank you guests and so watching c n x. u. u. u. u u u. u.
