you tube at the moment but we've still got social media this video is from scented clearwater in the us it's got more than 200000 clicks on you tube the tourism industry is struggling but the pandemic is also an opportunity for entrepreneurs like patrick from wanda he offers virtual tours i realize. as a country and in general also africa was under presented on google maps on digital maps and this is where the idea came from currently he's testing a prototype which enables visitors to speak to a travel guide live creative ideas like these are experiencing a real boom at the moment for instance on the farrow islands have a look at what the central tourism office came up with. this travel guide is remotely controlled just like in a computer game. equipped with

a helmet camera she scouts the fare alliance and the capella girl in the north atlantic. her roots is determined by 2 guests watching from home so you sort of steering this person. and deciding what you want to see and where you want this person to go when you present that we turn left and when you 1st jump well we jump . to central tourism office came up with the idea in early 2020 as the islands were closed to tourists in the wake of the corona pandemic instead viewers could watch an instagram live or facebook. that the offices website guests could even take turns steering detour guides. they could be instructed to hike ride steer boats or even fly in a helicopter. before house and was one of the guides it's very surreal to be to

know that you're walking around you on the phone it's being controlled by someone you know on there so far and it does feel a bit sort of you know it's surreal and a bit sort of futuristic in some way by late june almost 1000000 people had taken one of these virtual tours then the islands were reopened for visitors but the recording of each virtual tour is still available online it's a fun tool it's something to do while you're bored at home and you know and look down there and isolation so it's it's it's entertaining but it's also informative you know the idea is to wet people's appetite. and get them to want to come in and experience this in real life. social media is becoming increasingly important to get people excited about travelling instagram has played a major role in establishing troll tanga in norway the criminal in paris and the current. in bavaria as photo hotspots and i admit to having waited in the queue before to shoot this photo in mexico on the instagram account insta repeat you can

see how like many holiday photos and i'm looking it seems like some travel influences are more invested in popularity than being original but where there's like there's money tourism officers are collaborating with content creators on instagram and take dog to draw attention to their region. get added i'm at the recent work rug labyrinth and the fish still mountains nature park have a look. here we go. for a nice cause it is a blogger who takes his followers along for adventures on instagram she's joined by over 50000 to accompany her to the fish through mountains in both areas through his stories natively he will also write a longer post will have blog never ever done to me this is unique in europe i've never actually seen something like this before and that's exactly what i share. the regions dependent on tourism are increasingly turning to this kind of marketing

authenticity is important the bloggers and the topics need to match we were thrilled right from the start renia so authentic just like the fish still mountains we were sure if she didn't fit in here who wouldn't see me. i'm the king of the world. the queen excuse me. the rainy fuss is taking her photographer along today but this isn't vacation it's hard work another part of your job is to interact with the father of one of my friends what animal do you see here i can't wait to hear what you think send me your replies. sure enough the responses flood in. we'd like to extend our reach we want to make the region more known in show people how pitiful it is here.

but it's not just travel tips we like to get from influencers many are keen to listen to reviews of the hotel or restaurant german survey confirmed that 90 percent of the participants use review sites before booking online these are more important to some than hotel websites or recommendations from friends. germany's consumer protection agency who instead about 15 percent of online holiday refuse are fake which reviews can customers trust. this is not it's difficult to distinguish the real reviews from the fake ones but there are some clues you can look for. like how detailed is the review or how professional do the photos look were they taken with a smartphone. these are all hands that could indicate whether riverview is real or not. and also hopes to check the comments this

user reviewed hotels in 533 cities around the world in just a few years counting the comments helps to the more refuse the hotel has received the more likely it is there we'll take time to see the negative reviews. as to some of the points criticized might not really bother you experts say that event 3 quarters of the worldwide population doesn't feel online reviews can be trusted and yet we aren't used to. no matter where you look for inspiration most of you will be looking for beautiful holiday destinations far away from stress and worries but there are also people who like to visit places that are connected to horror disaster and. concentration camp memorial sites in that area. ground 0 in new york where the twin towers

and. the restricted areas surrounding the former nuclear power plant chernobyl so-called dark tourists outside that bear witness to horror and disaster. did on social media they make for an eerie effect. christiane echoed studies the phenomenon. tourism is tourism that's informed by a context of human suffering and death. social media plays a huge role in dr isom the problem is this increases the risk of reducing the sensitive historic sites to macabre backdrops will callus snapshots. tourism is a reflection of society. it's a cultural phenomenon and people will always try to express themselves food or travel habits. so might decide not to take an educational trip through southern europe but seek out for

a concentration camps instead of just to prove they aren't like anyone else. i feel ambivalent about this on the one hand dr tourism could lead to more historical awareness on the other these places should never turn into backdrops staging in the. czech republic photos are now prohibited the reason too many visits were taking selfies and that shows that holiday photos also have an ethical dimension. is head of tourism watch an organization that encourages sustainable and figure tourism responsible for target feet as part of that we also want to be mindful of. the field of lavender in southern france on instagram it's a classic but to get their prize money will trample straight through the fields crushing the plants as they go forward take a wild bunch along the way it's become so commonplace that farmers have begun to

fear for their harvest. the poppy fields in california don't they are much better in march $2900.00 visitors were so reckless that the beautiful hills had to be closed to the public so watch your step literally. many hobby photographers prefer people in their snapshots not planned but don't just point and shoot. speak to the locals 1st without your camera and always ask for permission. about privacy is a very subjective thing but i mean different people have to different laws they do not want crossed a lot of that also depends on the culture so it always makes sense to ask in advance generally anything that happens inside an apartment is private i should never take a photo through the window or through a crack in the door violates the right to privacy. but not every public space is a good spot for a photo either. many places we like to visit as tourists

might be every day spaces where other is even holy sites like we might see a church but to somebody else it's a place of worship. it's especially important to practice restraint during ceremonies you know it's wise at some time. in the temple of angkor wat in cambodia buddhist monks have complained about being kept from prayer by swaths of tourists wanting a picture with. the tourists can also intrude in other ways. in 2017 an italian tourist dubbed a small swiss valley the maldives of on line several weeks and millions of views later the tiny valley was overrun traffic jams stretched on for hours wrongly parts vehicles littered the roads and piles of trash so remember to disable your geo taxing keep your inside tips to yourself. and especially in

ecologically sensitive areas a beautiful person who can encourage many other people to come in to find that exact spot and that's the problem we call it over tourism in cities but you also get it in the actual surroundings to get. so it's better to stop posting i was secret spots with geo attacks however i want to keep using instagram and co for my travel plans the importance of these apps for the tourism industry can be seen on easyjet in the app you can upload screenshots from instagram the app tells you the location of the spot and how you get there using easyjet even if it doesn't always work out it does show where the tourism industry is had it where do you look for inspiration for traveling have you ever been at a specific place just to take a photo we look forward to hearing your stories see you next time.
