tourism is booming 1400000000 people travel internationally every year half of them in europe but tourism doesn't only bring profit places like broth nick. and venice struggling to handle tourist rolls some say they have been b. is pushing out local residents and turning entire cities into giant hotels. size like instagram which fuel our desire to visit and photograph memorable sides when the more tourists than a given place or its residents going to handle we speak of all the tourism can cutting edge technology help make several friendlier for both visitors and locals small travel expert lisa kinney from the german digital as association bit come to lose most when it comes to tourism digitalisation has great potential for enhancing sustainability to begin with it's about making information easily accessible if you can access information like real time data on tourist numbers you can regulate

their movement more sustainably which means less over tourism another option is connecting smart travel options with one another this allows us to get from a to b. more efficiently tourists have an abundance of information and can opt for more sustainable solutions. consciously choosing sustainable solutions sounds good oh and here comes my favorite image of the show. travel guides are great going on the road but back at home dimming to take up space nobody really needs to print versions. tourism today is smart not tourism to me is smart tourism means using the options digitalisation provides us to minimize risk as far as possible and sustainability is also important. for instance in how you get to a place services like eco passenger helped travelers compare different routes in terms of their emissions. if you want to know how to travel by train in asia or

africa you can visit the man in seat 61 a block created by rail expert mark smith from britain. if you're traveling by plane sites like atmosphere will calculate your journeys carbon footprint and convert it into the sum needed for carbon offsetting a flight from burning to cape town would produce the equivalent of 150 euros which you could donate to climate protection projects directly on the site. other providers use a similar principle. sustainability isn't only about c o 2 it's also about social sustainability such as reforestation or education traveling could also mean flying to the amazon to help with social projects there are. people interested in that type of trip can use social b. and b. which lets you put developmental conservation projects for a stronger focus on local projects the raw platforms like work away info. for simply booking accommodation there being visa greener alternatives the commissions

go to support local projects the site is still in development as off most of the service is a sustainable travelling. toilet and it would be great if we could expand the data networks and share data better we even have the technology to collect data as tourists. let's say i don't find a given offer very sustainable i could suggest another if i use the potential there is in the right way we can also do good. i agree but let's keep some insider secrets free of location tax maybe it's ok to not tell everyone where this field of law sums is or it might share the fate of the poppies on lake elsinore in california so many people trampled the flowers there but the fields eventually had to be made off limits and there are alternatives instead of feeding all the tourism we can make a contribution to science take these holidays snapshots they can also become part

of a smart tourism datable. tourists can contribute their photos to citizen science projects and supply valuable data for research on coast animals sent welds. the university of kielce coast which project examines all types of coastlines where the cliffs. all sad. vacation is can upload their photos and specify the exact location to the coast which website the images go into the global data bank and help scientists to better understand the risks of rising sea levels. from. the wild me project by an american ngo documented to migrate 3 parts of wildlife anyone whether tourist or researcher cannot blow photos of wild animals to the site artificial intelligence recognizes each animal by its individual traits and records the date time and location the

photo was taken this allows scientists to follow migrate 3 patterns and users can see where the animal they photographed on their holiday has moved on to. anyone can take pictures of clouds with nasa's the globe observer app and again help researches. the u.s. aeronautics and space administration compares the photos and other data like time and place with their own satellite images which among other things helps them improve research on the atmosphere and climate. scientists the only ones who benefit from big data tourists can talk in the city hung to china for instance tourists movements are tracked so that the city can inform visit does how crowded the location will be so 2 hours in advance the un world tourism organization contends that smart cities are best equipped to handle mass tourism in 2019 for the

1st time the european commission named 2 cities european capitals of smarts tourism and helsinki we went to both to see how smart acknowledging looks in action is. in finland. welcome to house or at least to. now anyone anywhere can explore how with their v.a.r. headset and without travelling. the virtual duplicate of finland's capital was created by design company marketing manager lowry is showing the headset to visitors. slip it on and you can see what it's like to stand in front of helsinki cathedral in future it may even be possible for people to virtually attend concerts and exhibitions or go shopping and. not everyone. they don't have. this is why we need to be able to keep them

to explore. the. place. without. travelling. this time how simple and we are saves travel time and the resulting c o 2 emissions those who head to helsinki in person have to decide what to do 1st among the many sites and food options the website provides tips. then there's the question of how to get from a to peace. by subway or city rail or by public or with the nearest car share. the app limb allows you to search for the book and pay for the various means of transportation available in house thinking. i looked at the city and said hey if i have any chance of telling my kids or my grandkids that look this is what the

traffic looked like here 2015 and look at it now when people are happy they have their freedom but the city is much more much more green it's much more convenient to nicer for people to live with but users need to only check one out to plan their journey and local residents have also been leaving their cars at home more often which is good news for helsinki as the city plans to be carbon neutral by 2035. the other european capital of small tourism is in southern france we took a tour of the city to see just how smart you can get there take a look. at this map guides uses through the trouble and network of interconnecting alleyways corridos and stairways. it uses jew location to lead tourists through leon's most picturesque or johnson passages in the old town. and provides background information. along the way.

along the pinning all the city marketing initiatives only tells visitors how they can use the app to explore the city and discover leone's inside those spots. but locals also benefit it's something that is very important to us because. actually there are people leaving and so. to open this treasure is a locket picture to the public but also to preserve the. i . another part of smart your ease your weight these digital signs can rotate 360 degrees and share up to date information for instance on festivals visitors can connect smartphone and big r.v.

to the. train stations especially useful for those without cars other bikes available for rent at various points around the city. of course. the concept of leo is to give visitors a guided excursion through the city by bike instead of i told us. we'd like. to just go and to make this go over the city. respecting the monks if you want to visit silently. smile tourism is designed to make a city more pleasant for those visit to get and for those who need it. it's clear that digitalization is fundamentally changing travel the reality check we can see the world's most beautiful cities without having to travel there and visit
