a cycle expressway, for the capital over the next few years. how do we want to travel and how do we want to live? i'll be looking into these questions on my journey today. please 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 of 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 jump almost city, explains how you can discover a tourist magnet like venice in a different way. nature profits from visitor management as the games, even world heritage site near berlin shows
11:32 am
only look out you go to your great weather where you're taking me to the temple of a field, one of my favorite places. i'll tell you why. the momentum is in ecology enthusiastic. she gives tourists on the topic of sustainable drill in the 1st stop on our route is the huge area of the former temple hall fairport 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 there. lynn 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
11:33 am
many great projects and i thought this has to be spread to the whole world. let me read what 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. how is this field used today? as of yet everything to do with recreation and exercise as a place to get together, you can meet friends in the fields and during the coronavirus time, social distancing is no problem here. then you've got a community garden, one of the 1st plenty of projects. and it was laid out in 2010 and really kicked off this whole wave of gardening, urban gardening. so it's
11:34 am
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 party tourists. but when the lockdown was imposed in the spring and eerie quiet fell over amsterdam, came of the gulf started in certain places. and it also showed how dependent economy in the city center had become only tourism. i think that's really unhealthy . so it's also a signal to say this has to change the city of them. stor, dam 1st, took action against mass tourism in 2018. prohibiting offers of tours and holiday
11:35 am
apartments of the tourist hot spots. the tourism tax was raised in no 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. before it was a good time to say ok, of course you want the economy to recover and teresa 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, we don't want to go back to situation in some fashion by n.c. 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 tourism starts to different effects of the visitor economy that have a negative effect on the livability. one is the anti-social behavior. that is the
11:36 am
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 interesting part 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 code does, doesn't believe though he works for years. as a tourism manager in amsterdam, i tellee, was left with no doubt the city could not carry on with its current approach to travel. i changed my perspective, world has changed. i promoted amsterdam in the netherlands,
11:37 am
so 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. is he a traitor or a visionary? either way, he doesn't thing 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 being able to achieve anything. and the reason for that is people follow people, people go with the masses, so small hidden places away from mass tourism. that's what cloud,
11:38 am
east berlin tours are all about. why are you taking me to this place by nothingness? because to me, this embodies the new economy district sustainability scene. in this shop in the should i keep area of berlin to fashion designers and a photographer have come together. that shows us her collection on the ground floor, clothing made from surplus of leftovers. 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 our clothes down here and no one special. i'll give you special. good luck, photographer, and see here i'm out just as her studio in the basement. she specializes in cyano
11:39 am
type and environmentally friendly photo printing process with bluetooth a traditional handicraft that she also teaches and to show that sustainability is also possible with everyday products, shows me the surplus shop on back monstrosity in the district of quite severe. this is a salvage still. he can become a salvage yourself. 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 best. i feel really good
11:40 am
buying this. one of the last stop on the tour through sustainable berlin is the marked illinois in quotes 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
11:41 am
popular at the kiva, both about what up whatever gunsmiths is i think is very important for sustainability to become a norm. that it would be great if we no longer had to talk about where the little sustainable hot spots were sold, but rather as a tourist, you could just think, hey, cool, i'd rather go to these great little shops around with lots, love that individual. and we'll have a totally different experience than we did on bush. i mean, the gowns and a half hour or so, 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. but that also means that you have to plan before the trip and pick out the individual spots. 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 our slow down a little, which is an issue in general. and you have to put
11:42 am
a little effort into it. thank you very much and thanks for your time. it's like this. as if i got you 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 in for c.n.n. is job growth. there is hardly a city in europe that has suffered so much for 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 meet the locals. we're going to take you to hi. i'm j.p.
11:43 am
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 of regulations i have to keep this back on so will 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 venice, the venice that i like to participate in where we're going into the odyssey now, 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 of what we're in right now at one time is one of my favorite places to be was the big shipyard in the entire world. the 1st kind of factory lines started here in venice. everything we're on the island of tolls and now where we're based and where
11:44 am
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 fire 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 birds. 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,
11:45 am
traditional craftsmanship that was venetian, and in particular a boat like this, which is a some people thought which is a traditional venetian sailing 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 had a lot of guests who are looking for sustainable tourism, which was incredible, which was a big loss for us. and the cleanliness of the city definitely improved. it was a pleasure to welcome you inside that is to this day in the life of someone living
11:46 am
in venice. and i hope to see you soon. and now we leave early and i want to go to the top of the bus, but it is only about 50 kilometers from here. and because we are already on the so of sustainability. of course, i'll head there by public transport. we regularly show you of 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
11:47 am
11:48 am
of us, but is a town shaped by its industrial history. a good place to find out more about sustainability because there's a university there that deals with the most diverse aspects of sustainability, including tourism. i have an appointment with my team, he's a research associate at the center for sustainable tourism at the university of madiba. how did you get interested in sustainable tourism? sympathy and i studied here at the university and earned my masters in sustainable tourism management. and that's always been an interest of mine. and i've always enjoyed travelling, and i've seen what kind of effects 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
11:49 am
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 prefer the negative also the negative effects have to be reduced so that tourism can be used as a positive factor for the region's local populations and for more of what can viewers or travelers like me pay attention to in order to be ethicists dana bill as possible while travelling now with the design i was this food, 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, but you can also have a great a shopping trip and it's easier than you'd say for lots of money. so why get
11:50 am
the flight? the 2nd saying, once you've decided are you want to go to choose what kind of hotel or lodging you want to stay in a family run operation were certified to business. said if it's your own or you know quite a few as you can tell now days by the booking sites it's a target. then when i get off it's 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 about experience. things learned something about the culture of the people. at the same time, you're doing something good for the environment, the locals, for the before. there are many insider tips around here. for example,
11:51 am
the 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 of their village. there's basic one 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 flock to the beach trees from all over even more. so during the
11:52 am
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 that their beginnings that the infrastructure for it are popping up at the forest dead in 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
11:53 am
causing problems for the community to foresee a growing numbers of cyclists. and it's very dangerous when i travel here on the right along the way, when a winding road with a 100 kilometer an hour speed limit is 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. it was later, he leads us to the family garden, a landscape park on the side of a former rolling mill. we clamber up a crane once part of the industrial fabric that shape the of us by the
11:54 am
at 1st glance. and i only see in the street here, what does this have to do with tourism? and they are, yes, we're working on making the connection. we want to make wasn't just real 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 crane. 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 is the idea behind it just showing industry from the past, or is there more to it? well, we have no beach. no. see. here we have industrial culture. 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
11:55 am
the field of tourism and we're trying to integrate the family garden as a tourist hot spot. other spots that we have the region aiming 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 yes, sustainable tourism is possible in the big city of berlin and in the small town of any of us about it, you may not see that immediately. but if you search a bit, you will find it, just take a little detour or change direction,
