it's completely focused on the topic of sustainability. clooney. i'm not laughing at the germans because sometimes i am, but most and nothing with the time. and i think deep into the german culture. you don't seem to take that as ground on the east coast. it's all about who, you know, i might show join me anything to funkytown, play me and lend me a kiss. this is the future of urban transit travelling by bike here in berlin. more

and more people have recently switched to 2 wheelers. only this route is to become part of the cycle expressway, for the capital over the next few years. how do we want to travel? how do we want to live? i'll be looking into these questions on my journey today. sustainable travel. how does it work? and what can you discover when you're away from the popular sites? that's what i want to find out. so i made appointments with experts here. berlin, but also in the small town nearby because there they have a university that's completely focused on the topic off sustainability. well, i'm curious, the future of travel is also a concern for amsterdam, a city very much affected by mass tourism explains how you can discover the tourist magnet like venice in a different way. nature profits from visitor management as the games in world

heritage site near berlin shows i look out for you both great weather where you're taking me. so the temple of the field, one of my favorite places, i'll tell you why. it is in ecology enthusiastic. she gives tourists on the topic of sustainable drill in the 1st stop on our route is the shooting area of the former template off the airport in the middle of the capital globally. how did you get into sustainable tourism? how did you discover the topic? first of all i studied did as i have my real interest in actually developed right here in berlin. but people don't generally associate big cities with sustainability is such

a melting pot. and so many creative ideas take shape here. this is where sustainability is being redefined and where it needs to be. i've come across so many great projects and i thought this has to be spread to the whole world. let me read. you said this is one of your favorite places in berlin. why? you just can't find anything like this anywhere else. it's a great example of how enormous open spaces can be used. so they offer something for people, not always just for profit. this is much a screen space view of how is this field used today? as of everything to do with recreation, an exercise as a place to get together, you can meet friends in the fields and join the coronavirus time social distancing is no problem here. if it is a huge gap, then you've got a garden,

one of the 1st pioneer projects. it was laid out in 2010 and really kicked off this whole wave of gardening, urban gardening. so it's a place for people to get together and learn to get closer to nature. sustainability and tourism is a big challenge and it applies above all to major populous cities in europe, such as venice, barcelona, or amsterdam. sure, because of the travel restrictions over tourism declined anyway. but how will it be after the crisis will truism change. for example, in amsterdam for years residents have been complaining about already tourists. but when the lockdown was imposed in the spring and eerie quiet fell over, amsterdam came of the gold star in certain places. and it also showed how dependent economy in the city center had become only tourism. think that's really unhealthy.

so it's also a signal to say this has to change the city of them. still dampers took action against mass tourism in 2018, prohibiting offers of tourism holiday apartments at the tourist hot spots. the tourism tax was raised in new more souvenir shops were allowed to open, but martin would like to see even more steps making use of the enforced break. he and some friends launched a petition. we thought it was a good time to say ok, of course you want to be economy to recover and tourists come back, but there need to be a better as we don't want to go back to the situation before the crisis. and that's why we started a petition to say ok, we don't want to go back to situation in some fashion or 18, but put a limit on the number of tourists coming to the city tonight. and state $30000.00 citizens of amsterdam agreed. now the city council is obliged to look at their proposals and the city has already announced plans to seek new paths in

managing to raise them start to 3 different effects of the visitor economy that have a negative effect on the livability. one is the anti-social behavior, that is the cause mainly by bigger groups that come here to drink that make a lot of noise. don't respect the locals, the local estate puke on the street. that is a certain group. they can have to manage differently. the other part is that in the old city center, in some spots, the pressure on public speech has to be. so there you have to invest in crowd management and also invest for the long term to make much more parts to see the interests of the solution. for crowd control might involve redirecting visitors to less popular areas of amsterdam, but no concrete plans for achieving sustainable goals are yet in place. will there be any real change once the crisis passes? stephen hoda doesn't believe so. he worked for years as a tourism manager in amsterdam until he was left with no doubt the city could not

carry on with its current approach to travel. i changed my perspective, the world has changed. i promoted amsterdam in the netherlands. i lived in new york and director of the board of tourism and promoted it as much as i could until i realized that i was busy to destroy what i think was of value. and therefore i changed. but i'm seen as a traitor by the industry, or is he a traitor or a visionary? either way, he doesn't think much of the city's current proposal. i've seen for the last 30 years of them saying we're going to distribute tourists in time and then place 30 years and 30 years it's not been able to achieve anything. and the reason for that is people follow people. people go where the masses are

small, hidden places away from mass tourism. that's what clouds berlin, tourists are all about. why are you taking me to this place but not from it? because to me, this embodies the noise district sustainability scene. in this shop in the should like east area of berlin to fashion designers and a photographer has come together that shows us her collection on the ground floor, clothing made from surplus of leftovers. and usually this stuff is thrown away. but here it provides the material for a completely new clothes. this is pretty cool, isn't it? but that's not all. what's down here? and if you want special,

i'll give you special photographer bus pass or studio in the basement. she specializes in cyano type and environmentally friendly photo printing process with bluetooth a traditional handy craft that she also teaches and to show that sustainability is also possible with everyday products, clothing shows me the surplus shop on back monstrosity in the district of quotes back at this as a salvage still, he can become a salvaging itself. everything you see he would normally get thrown away, though it's still perfectly edible. there are goods here that are close to their best before date or just beyond. there are now 6 of these salvage stores in berlin . here to waste products are being reduced.

as you know, that looks nice. 100 percent elements of eagan, excel biggest. i feel really good buying this one. the last stop on the tour through sustainable berlin is the marked illinois in fights back here. he will find regional and artie's in the products. there are bakers who produce their goods locally and fresh produce from the surrounding area . historic 19th century market building had become a desolate place for cheap discounters in the early 2000. it's now the market hall is again, a place for small traders. and for people who want to be inspired that

looks good. so do what has to be done to make sustainability even more popular up whatever gunsmiths is. i think it's very important for sustainability to become the norm was it would be great if we no longer had to talk about where the digital sustainable hotspots were sold. rather as a tourist you could just think, hey, cool, i'd rather go to these great little shops run with lots of love as an individual and we'll have a totally different experience than we did on bush. i mean the gowns and instead of rushing off with all the masses, you can come here and take your time and look around. you don't just be talking about it. but that also means that you have to plan before the trip and pick out the individual spots. yeah, yes of course,

but that's the nice thing about it. it's fun to plan a trip. but i was a little slow about all slightly down a little, which is an issue in general and you have to put a little effort into it. thank you very much and thanks for your time. it's like those as if i got a very welcome, i hope i was able to give you a couple of insights and get you interested in what's going on here of him for c.n.n. . but he is so there is hardly a city in europe that has suffered so much for mass tourism as venice. how things look this year during the pandemic that's going to show us he's the head of the company that offers both tourism around the city. so it, today's me, the locals were going to take you to it. if you

try and we're in venice and i live in venice. and right now i'm going to show my face just a little bit. but because the regulations i have to keep this back on. so why cover up my ugly face right now? we are in kind of edgy and i live here in this, in this area. i'm going to show you a different kind of venice. not the tourist venice, but my event is the venues that i like to participate in who are going to be got to know which is one of my favorite places because we're talking about boats and everybody that works here is in love with boats. you can't be in venice without loving boats, because part of the history and what we're in right now, this at one time, this is one of my favorite places to be, was the biggest shipyard in the entire world. the 1st kind of factory lines

started here in venice. everything we're on the island of those are now where we're based and where a lot of our fun happens. it's not just we work here, but we also on my off days, i like to come here to, to hang out because it's just a really beautiful island. it's an open area where there's lots of grass and you feel nature here. you can this is where the lagoon starts of venice and where i think the fun happens because you are not allowed to skateboard at all in venice so that i work in this beautiful island. it's amazing that i have all this space behind classic boats. venice was to create

a company that was offering sustainable choices as it pertains to the marine, the marine industry, so to speak in venice. so we thought to take classical craftsmanship, traditional craftsmanship that was venetian, and in particular a boat like this, which is some people thought which is a traditional venetian boat and rowing boat. and to convert it instead of with an electric engine so that we could rent this without driver. and so that gas could come to venice and experience the venetian lagoon in a sustainable way, but also in a traditional way from this year, from 2020 looking at it. venice has suffered a lot in terms of tourism, but on the flip of that we have a lot of guests who are looking for sustainable tourism, which was incredible, which is a big block for us. and the cleanliness of the city definitely improved. it

was a pleasure to welcome you inside venice into the day in the life of someone living in venice. and i hope to see you soon. now we leave for lim. i want to go to the town of the bus. was it only about 50 kilometers from here and because we are already on the subject of sustainability, of course, they are by public transport but we regularly show you your videos from all over the world and this one on skis through the austrian alps. maybe it's a little inspiration for your next winter vacation. after the pandemic

sometimes from berlin to a bus by the it takes an hour by car. the train is faster. i'll be there in just

half an hour. it was filed as a town shaped by its industrial history, a good place to find out more about sustainability because there's a university beer that deals with the most diverse aspects of sustainability, including sure isn't i have an appointment with my he's a research associate at the center for sustainable tourism at the university of madiba. how did you get interested is a stable tourism. sympathy and yeah, i studied here at the university and earned my masters in sustainable tourism management and that's always been an interest of mine. i've always enjoyed travelling and i've seen what kind of effects the tourism and that's how i 1st got into the subject of the market. or here,

how would you define sustainable tourism in a nutshell as not how to go towards sustainable tourism is part of the overall concept of sustainability. it's about keeping the impact caused by tourism to an absolute minimum giving not only through impact on nature on the environment, but on the local population of the preferred call for the negative. also for negative effects have to be reduced, so that tourism can be used as a positive factor for the region's local populations. and for what can viewers or travelers like me pay attention to in order to be s.-s. dana bill as possible while travelling now with the design? i wasn't there, it's actually not all that hard for a traveler to behave sustainably on a trip. it's the 1st thing, of course, is to consider where you want to go. your own region can also be an attractive option. doesn't always have to be

a shopping weekend in new york. you can also have a great a shopping trip in berlin. it's easy and you'd save a lot of money. so why get the flight? the 2nd saying, once you've decided are you want to go to choose what kind of hotel or logic you want to stay in a family run operation were certified business. if it's your own or you know quite a few, as you can tell, there are days by the booking sites. but the target from the end when i get into it is a question of what you want to do as your destination. there are good and small restaurants get around on foot or public transportation of a month to full forecast. and i think none of these things are doing. even before that i learned a lot of experience. things i once learned something about the culture of the

people in the same time, you're doing something good for the environment, the locals, for the preferred. there are many insider tips around here, for example, in beach forest. it's been the world heritage site since 2011. well, as is the case with insider tips, they don't face secret for long. and then the problems start a normal weekend in the summer of 2020. cars lined the streets, and people have come from berlin, life station, even as far away as munich to see the gloomy scene, forest part of the biosphere reserve. that's the natural world heritage site village. there's basic, he would big intersection and sometimes drivers will park in it so carelessly that nobody else can get through, including buses, fire engines, and farm vehicles. it's a big problem. we've got around here since unesco declared the gloom scene forest

part of the natural world heritage site. tourists have flocked to the beech trees from all over even more so during the coronavirus lockdown, the villagers aren't the only ones in fact dead. the conservationists have had their hands full as well, fixing damage, warning signs and trail markers. of course, it's a lot of work expensive too. if you have to keep renewing signs in an area this large, it's also an indication of anger and frustration. but i can't understand why anybody would be face to science. it doesn't help anyone. it's just being destructive or some people don't want any tourism here at all. only the bare beginnings of the infrastructure for it are popping up at the forest dead. a parking lot for 10 cars and the natural world heritage bus that runs 5 times a day when somebody were always blocking my yard or

parking in front of my house, it would eventually get on my nerves. the villagers would like to see fewer cars on their streets, but the increasing bike traffic is causing problems for the community to foresee a growing numbers of cyclists. and it's very dangerous when i travel here on the rural, i worry when a winding road with a 100 kilometer an hour speed limit on the road with children. it's an untenable situation and we need a cycle path so people can reach the natural world heritage site and safety, with no end in sight of the tourists streaming to the ancient beach forest villages hoping for more support from the state government. rather mom shows us what sustainable tourism looks like in the of us, but if he meets us to the family garden, a landscape park on the site of

a former rolling mill, we clamber up a crane once part of the industrial fabric that shape the about spider at 1st glance, and i only see in the street here, what does this have to do with tourism? yes, we're working on making the connection we want to make wasn't just about heritage. we've got the buildings here presentable and available for people to use. and we've already made a start with the family garden, for example, where we're standing now here on the crisis with us, you can see it's been a success every year. 150000, people come here to the garden to see what there is to discover old and new. and what's the idea behind it just showing industry from the past, or is there more to it? you have no beach? no see. here we have and this is basically where everything got

started. i wouldn't want to work with what we've got. we just have to get what's already here. we're working closely together with the university in the field of tourism. and we're trying to integrate the family garden as a tourist hot spot and other spots that we have in the region. meaning for sustainable tourism, with sites that can be well accessed by public transport, bike or on foot. we're also trying to bring in sustainable astronomy with sustainable products. the words sustainable tourism is an overall concept and we're trying to do our bit by thoughts of yes, sustainable tourism is possible in the big city of berlin and in the small town you

may not see that immediately. but if you search a bit, you will find it just take a little detour or change direction and you will quickly discover something new just like we did here on
