we don't have all nationalities here because of the flight problems but we've got austrian germans basically europeans before the pandemic the village through many international tourists and day trippers. the alpine setting is popular on instagram last year over 21000 turbos has brought around a 1000000 visitors to the village with just 760 inhabitants. starts near doesn't miss the era of over tourism. if you have these you could include in the world what if i had greeks with a guide carrying a flag and around 2000 people wearing had sex tape so it was very loud regularly that's how people it was too much for some locals it would stand for $300.00 because of war and. then suddenly in spring austria had to go into lockdown because of covert 19. grew quiet restaurants were empty and there wasn't

pens an income from tourism to subsidize services such as school meals and care for the elderly. locals value tourism but there is a question of what kind of tourism. is because. i think that we should cut mass tourism down by half and double quality tourism we're visitors stay for longer but that would be a good mix to give me from. car a little girl has a different view. is proclaimed that i need. to live even if the hotels want high quality tourists staying here for longer but i just think that kind of long term a tourism it's fashionable at the moment it's not safe and before the pandemic. house starts as currently developing a new system to deal with the turbos is the number of which is expected to increase again in the future they will have to register in advance and stay longer.
1:46 pm
it's not clear whether this will impact the amount and form of tourism but the mayor doesn't want to go further. i think that when we start getting more international visitors coming to see our cultural heritage again the others will start coming. what we don't want to do is to tell some people to come and others not to because we don't want them here that's not where we are so it's if you look at the village would rather not repeat come what felt like an old. an air exhibit for masses of day trippers but avoiding dust in the future would require a balancing act for hotshot smear on its citizens. this man sat on the spanish throne for nearly 40 years and now the former king juan carlos has not only left the royal palace but also the country is probably not what he had imagined for his retirement a life in exile investigations are underway one carlos is accused of money
