the vendors 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 big 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 start savannah's and where i

a noble way but also in the 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 blast for us and the cleanliness of the city definitely improved. it was a pleasure to welcome you inside venice to 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

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. i though 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 you can also have a great a shopping trip in berlin it's easier than you'd save a lot of money. so my dad the through. the 2nd thing 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 to business. or you know quite a few as you can tell my days by the booking sites. the target from 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 is a month off with a. forecast and i think. none of these things to do even before. that i learn about and experience things. learn something about the culture and the people and 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 forest it's been a world heritage site since 2000 well as is the case with insider tips. and then the problem start. a normal weekend in the summer of 2020 cars lined the streets of. people have come

from berlin lives there's an even as far away as munich to see the gloom scene forest part of the biosphere reserve that's a natural world heritage site. her village there's basically 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 you know it's go to clear 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 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. is not only south 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 the bare beginnings of the infrastructure for it are popping up at the forest edge 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. you know. 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 one a winding road with a 100 kilometer an hour speed limit of 30 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 forests to villages hoping for more support from the state government. rather mum shows us what sustainable tourism looks like eve us why is it he leads us to the family garden a landscape park on the site of a former rolling mill we climbed up a crane once part of the industrial fabric that shaped the bus by the. bjork at 1st glance and i only see in the street here what does this have to do with tourism they are giving us well we're working on making the connection we want to make washing destroyed 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 as 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 well 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 a 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 the field of tourism and we're trying to integrate the family garden as a tourist hot spot. or spots that we have in 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. are the words sustainable tourism is an overall concept and we're trying to do our bit. by thoughts of us and. yes sustainable tourism is possible in the big city of berlin and in the small town 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 and you will quickly discover something you just like me to buy by here on.
