what secrets lie behind swope discover new adventures in 360 degree. and explore fascinating world heritage sites. p.w. world heritage 316 get the map now. and. lead. me in the face 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

a 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. almost city explains how you can discover a tourist magnet like venice in a different way. nature profits from visitor management as a big limousine world heritage site near berlin shows.

oh look out. those. great weather where you taking me to the temple of the field one of my favorite places i'll tell you why. it is in ecology enthusiastic she gives tours on the topic of sustainable brilliant the 1st stop on our route is the huge area of the former temple of 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. 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

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 not just screen space. how is this field used today. as of everything to do with recreation and 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 cure isn't change for example in amsterdam. for years residents have been complaining about 30 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 was also a signal to say this has to change. the city of amsterdam 1st took action against mass tourism in 2018 prohibiting offers of tourism holiday apartments and 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. we thought it was a good time to say ok of course you want the economy to recover and teresa come back but there needs 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 really 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 the united states. $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 as them. start to 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 pew going to st 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 spaces to be so there you have to invest in crowd management and also invest for the long term to make much more parts of this city interesting part of the solution for crowd control might involve directing 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 so 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 the world has changed. i promoted amsterdam in the netherlands i lived in new york

and director of the netherlands 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 the. much of the city's current proposals. i've seen for the last 30 years of them saying we're going to distribute tourists in time and in 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 masters and that's what clouds berlin tourists are

all about. why are you taking me to this place. and this because to me. this embodies the new economy district sustainability scene. in this shop in the sheer lucky 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 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. down here. and. no one special i'll give you special. photographer the here and now just as our studio in the basement she specializes in

siam attire 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 clothing shows me the surplus shop on back monstrosity in the district of quotes about. this as 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 element of eagan excel best i feel really

good buying this one. the last stop on the tour through sustainable berlin is the marked illinois imports back here he will find regional and artie's no 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 at the kiva but about what up whatever. this is i think is very important for sustainability to become the norm while it would be great if we no longer had to talk about where the little sustainable hot spots were sold. and. rather as a tourist you could just think hey cool i'd rather go to these great little shops around with lots. that's an individual and we'll have a totally different experience. on bush i mean the guns 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 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 slow 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 this as if i got a very unwelcome hype i was able to give you a couple of insights and get you interested in what's going on here in for c.n.n. but. there is hardly a city in europe that has suffered so much from asterism as venice how things look this year during the pandemic that's going to show us john paul most said he's the head of a company that offers both to reserve around the city so it is meet the locals we're going to take you to. high. 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 and so will cover up my ugly face right now we are in kind of i just 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. we're going to be out tonight 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 and the 1st kind of factory lines started here in venice. pretty.

we're on the island of chad closer now where we're based and where a lot of our fun happens is 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 ski board at all in venice so that i work in this beautiful island it's amazing that i have all this space. idea 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 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 experienced a 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 were looking for sustainable tourism which was incredible which is a big blow 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. and now we leave berlin i want to go to the town of the bus by the it's only about 50 kilometers from here and because we're already on the subject of sustainability of course i'll get there by public transport. if. 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.

trying. 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.

give us by 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 sure isn't. i have an appointment with my. he's a research associate at the center for sustainable tourism at the university of. ma t.v. how did you get interested in sustainable tourism simpleton. yeah. 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 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 me a miracle it's not only through impact on nature on the environment but on the local population of the preferred call for all these negative also the negative effects have to be reduced so that tourism could be used as a positive factor for the region's local populations and for some not all of what can viewers or travelers like me pay attention to in order to be as sustainable as possible while travelling now to with that design. i was this food in 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 save a lot of money. so my dad the. second saying

once you've decided or you want to go some of the statues what kind of hotel or lodging you want to stay at a. family run operation we're certified to business. 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 at your destination they are good at small restaurants get around on foot or public transportation of a month. forecast and i think. none of these things to do it even before. that i learn a lot of experience things. learn something about the culture of the people and 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 leipzig and even as far away as munich to see the gloom 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 booms in 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 affected 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 there's large it's also an indication of anger and frustration but i can't understand why anybody would be face the 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 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 to our 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 you. for seeing growing numbers of cyclists and it's very dangerous when i travel here on the rural i waited while winding road with a 100 kilometer an hour speed limit for families 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. the other monk shows us what sustainable tourism looks like you've us play that he leads us to the family garden a landscape park on the side of a former rolling mill we climb up a crane once part of the industrial fabric that shape the of us by the.

at 1st glance 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 with 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 and. 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. or spots that we have the region. all the naming for sustainable tourism which sites 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. yes sustainable tourism is possible in the big city of berlin and in the small town of of us but 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 me today bye bye see you next time you're on.
