don't do it simply. to get. the truth discovery coming to a. player like you. subscribe to the documentary on you tube. and. please. please please this is the future of urban transit travelling by bike fleet 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 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 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 a tourist magnet like venice in the different ways. nature profits from visitor

management as the game's in world heritage site near berlin shows. a lookout you. have a great weather where you're taking me to the temple of the 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 girl in the 1st stop on our route is the huge area of her 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 it. as about 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 beyond 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 yet 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 it is a huge gap then you've got

a community 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 already tourists but when the lockdown was imposed in the spring and eerie quiet fell over amsterdam came off to go start 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 through dam 1st took action against mass tourism in 2018 prohibiting offers of tours and holiday 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 used to be enforced break he and some friends launched a petition. before the poster good time to say ok of course you want to be economy to recover and theresa 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 really don't want to go back to the situation in 2000 binds you are 18 but put a limit on the number of tourists coming through 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 3 different effects of the visitor economy that have a negative effect on the livability one is the anti-social behavior that it's caused mainly by bigger groups that come here to drink that make a lot of noise don't respect the locals the locals deep you going to street that is a certain group thank you 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 of this city interesting part of the solution for crowd control might involve redirecting visitors to less popular areas of amsterdam but no concrete plans for a cheating sustainable goals are yet in place will there be any real change once the crisis passes stephen code does 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 world has changed. i promoted amsterdam in the netherlands in lived in new york and i was 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 think 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 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. and this because to me. this embodies the noise the street sustainability scene. in this shop in the shade like heath area of berlin to fashion designers and a photographer have come together. cut 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 if

you want special i'll give you special. photographer the here and now the us has her 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 quartz back 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 foods 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.

oh so that looks nice 100 percent element of eagan excel based 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 at the. up whatever. the answer 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 hot spots were sold. on the earth rather as a tourist you could just think hey cool i'd rather go to these great little shops run with lots of love that individual and we'll have a totally different experience. on the bush admin account 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 type in and. we're 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 all it's fun to plan

a trip but i was a little slow about down a little which is an issue in general and you have to put a little effort into it. ok to leave thank you very much and thanks for your time if you like this as a buy gallery very welcome i hope i was able to give you a couple of insights and get you interested in what's going on here a theory of entire c.n.n. . is our talk of. 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 in today's 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 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. 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 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. is a pretty big. where 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 fire. 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 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 were 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 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 top of the bus but it is only about 50 kilometers from here and because we are already on the so. sustainability of course i'll head there by public transport. and we regularly show you viewer 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.

from berlin to us 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 tourism. 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 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. 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 i've not had 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 the not only thing impact on nature on the environment but on the local population of the preferred call for the 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. all of 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 was this food it's actually not all that hard for a traveler to behave sustainably on a trip. 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 in berlin it's easy and you'd save a lot of money. so why get the. second savings once you've decided are you want to go choose what kind of hotel or lodging you want to stay in a. family run operation were certified business. or you know quite a few as you can tell now days by the booking sites. but the target then. 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 are doing even before. that i learned about 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 stay secret for long and then the problems start. a normal weekend in the summer of 2020 cars lined the streets and out indoor 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. religion 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 gloomy 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 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 this 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 that their beginnings that the infrastructure for it are popping up at the forest dead on 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. foresee a growing numbers of cyclists and it's very dangerous when i travel here on the rural i wonder what 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 in safety. with no end in sight of the tourists streaming to the ancient beach forest villages hoping for more support from the state government. other months shows us what sustainable tourism looks like eve us but if 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. at 1st glance i only see in the street here what does this have to do with tourism they are yes we're working on making the connection we want to make wasn't just a 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. other spots that we have in the region. even 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 and.

you may not see that but if you search a bit you will find it just take a little detour or change and you will quickly discover something you just need to .

everything is quiet without art and culture. but when a moment. is it possible to experience closeness while social distancing. in new social togetherness were selected by our plane it reveals what everyone is
