w business be on the here's a closer look at the project. our mission to analyze the fight for market dominance versus west. ahead with the w business beyond on you to me. the demick has devastated the global travel and tourism industry. most tech has suffered more. no region has fed worse than europe, where revenues went down almost 50 percent in 2020. many cities are eagerly trying to win back visitors. they faced stiff competition from the great outdoors and ongoing international restrictions on travel. with tourism ever recover

the arrival of summer to the northern hemisphere brought great hope to torres destinations. finally, a chance to make some money after a last season in 2020. but the current of ours pandemic still hangs over the sect, making a return to normal. still elusive, we revolt from paris. paris loves its tourists. that's the message. these young, multilingual ambassadors are trying to spread. why should you have to eat? shouldn't hesitate and just come to paris, we'll help them find the bearings, hear the song, pompey do. and all the other parish and such a pleasant city, and then more and more of us to hope visited. this makes me happy. some of the buddha, after $500.00 of them, will be deployed this year in an effort to kick stop tourism again after a visit to numbers plummeted by 2 thirds last year. but the tourists who normally represent a large ship, the cities, visitors,

people from asia and the u. s. might be a bit longer incoming or sweat school or more of the movie, the more we would like everybody to come back to paris. but we are obviously aware that the french and european choices are likely to be the 1st one fuck, as it's still easier for them to travel. some potentially on the off, many hotels are trying to learn invalid kids with special deals with some luxury establishment, offering discounts of up to 70 percent. but no offer will convince those already desperate to get out of the city. this french couple have chosen to go to higher ground, 50 kilometers north of the french capital. to deal with this, pandemic, people has understood that they needed to disconnect from reality, such as special offers aren't necessarily so important for me. we need to breed and take a step back from work, especially as we've all been working from home for quite a while now,

because they are not the only ones who feel the urge to get out of the city, but reservations at these cabins have skyrocketed said sir, i'm only dicking for the majority this, like people have slipped since the beginning of the code. 1900 crisis and realized that they needed nature to reconnect to who they are. we can't keep up with demand and, and now planning to construct an additional 5 cabin by the end of next year. it will reflect new will given that this is any portion. and yet, some might argue, this is exactly the right time to visit paris or other cities. here at the level of the was biggest museum furnace makeup, 3 quarters of visitors. but to do to k with 19 restrictions, many of these visitors from abroad are not showing up. that's why you can now even get tickets at short notice and visit wolf famous works of art almost by

yourself. what's true for leuva is true for other sites in the french capital. you no longer have to queue for hours and that might be the most appealing tourist attraction of all. or we can now speak to fray higgins to be old, who is a senior lecturer in tourism at the university of south australia. thanks for joining us on the 19 special. it's hard to overstay the size of the impact of the panoramic on tourism, isn't it? it really is, these are extraordinary times and for people who have been through locked down and repeated locked down, it's been so difficult. and then trying to get that balance right between dealing with public health, extraordinary public health situation and keeping the economy going or trying to get through them revived. it's really extraordinarily difficult. yes. what are the main obstacles in the way of tourism getting back to normal?

well, we've never had a shut down like this for a global tourism system. so the difficulties have to do with managing public health. and we're finding some very good approaches, particularly in europe with things like the digital coven certificate, which is going to enable european why travel trying to get mass vaccinations out. and then measures with dealing with possibilities of difficulty. so using contact pricing and so on. but the system has actually been run down. so for instance, our a b ation system now is in disarray because planes have been put in storage basically because our ation circuits are all shut down. the crews industry has been absolutely crippled by the pizza dance, and it's just now trying to wind back up. so it's extraordinarily difficult to,

to ramp up things again. you know, one of the big obstacle was, if you mentioned the potential spreading of corona virus and variance of it and it has countries and they sort of limbo of loosening and tightening restrictions. have seen a lot of that in europe around the, the delta very into the moment. is there a danger of people losing all confidence in any holiday with a book? well, people who are more worried and careful are going to find it very difficult and it will probably be a couple of years before we see confidence and travel occurring again. there will be those who are venturesome and we'll worry about these difficulties and will be flexible. but you know, following stereotypes that tends to be the young. and in some countries, we're not seeing the vaccine rolled out quickly to the young. it's the elderly and the people with health problems who are getting that connection 1st. so there's

also that aspect to getting things rolling. again. i know that a lot of young people are really not used to this lack of freedom that they're experiencing and they're really talking at the bit to get out an experience travel . so yes, it's amazing how we're having to be patient. we're having to wait and see how things unfold. and i've just learned in the news today that some israelis you were vaccinated have costco of it. so we don't know how the various vaccinations are going to provide immunity for how long all of those things. so there's a lot of moving parts to the, some difficulty that we're in and the use of travel levels and travel circuits is one way that we're getting our tourism travel, accommodations and all of that going again. so europe will definitely be one of the

cases of seeing how things go and how, how we can get things successful. again. yeah, you mentioned about how some people are just desperate to get out there. and travel again is the flip side to the us and that there may be now people who have taken a liking to traveling within the countries in which they already live. and that international tourism may not get back to the physician that it was before. well, it would seem that we're in an era of really profound change and i don't think the travel we knew before will come back the way it was before we took cheap travel for granted. and we thought that we could go anywhere we wanted, you know, just on whims and for varying inexpensive, very easy sort of holiday. and it's likely that travel will be more expensive for the next few years. it's probably not going to be as convenient because there won't

be so many route to travel or so many ease of scheduling to happen. and we have to be ready, for instance, for things like quarantine measures to be put in place for perhaps another year or so the difficulties are likely to remain. we will see, i think the term i would use is a local ization of travel and narrowing of travel and even people wanting to know their home countries. you know, sometimes we take our home country for granted and we want to travel to other places. the difference for the exhaust system and so on. so on. so i think that we will find this more narrow circuit. all right, frey higgins deville from university of south australia. thanks for joining us on the curve in 1900 special. thank you so much. and now it's the part of the program where we put one of your questions to our science correspondent derek williams. paul, do i have been given that seems approved in europe to come to europe guidelines for

traveling to and within the european union this summer are a work in progress, and they're likely to remain pretty chaotic for a while. thus, because member state governments actually make their own rules so, so they vary from country to country, in other words, and what the french authorities or the german authorities demand that could differ in key ways from what, for instance, the spanish authorities demand or the greek authorities demand the e u as a whole is still trying to get its ducks in a row when it comes to travel and the launch of a new joint digital certificate for people who have been vaccinated or recently tested, or who have recovered from over 19. it should help, but for the moment that certificate is still largely really aimed at streamlining cross border travel for people within europe and

a lot less so for travelers from 3rd countries. however, according to an official fact sheet on the digital vaccine passport, member states only have to allow free movement for those who have been fully vaccinated with one of the 4 vaccines currently authorized by the european medicine's agency, e m a. although it does add that member states may also decide to extend the privilege to travelers who received other vaccines. but a lot of countries won't do that, at least at 1st. so if you want to travel to europe from outside the block, but you haven't been fully vaccinated with either pfizer biotech or astrazeneca, or madonna, or johnson and johnson vaccines, you definitely need to check to see what the restrictions are. countries that you want to visit because in many cases,

even full vaccination might not be recognized if it wasn't with a vaccine approved by the e. m a in. and that's often that's kind of 19 special until next time, goodbye and check the news . how does a virus spread? why do we panic by and when will all this 3 of the topics that we covered and i weekly radio if you would like me for information on the corona virus or any other fines topics, you should really check out more podcast. you can get it wherever you get your podcast. you can also find us at w dot com, forward slash science. to be double used,

crime fighters are back africa. most successful radio drama series continues. all episodes are available online. course you can share and discuss on the w africa, facebook page, and other social media platforms. fighters to me and now i went into the field. the jewish life in europe went home, producer, owner and journalist cooper, mont, more exploring, building into history and the present. ah, nice to that, i would never could be live so openly and so freely to remind myself because i grew

up in a completely different way. fraud the station jewish, the 2 part documentary starts july 5th on d, w. the readings from berlin, where it's summer in the city, the best time to catch up on reading, of course. so books feature large in today's show starting with accolades for them . bobby and author city dan got him guy, also coming up danish are his 2 months dumbo gives the natural landscape of fun twist with his trolls. i was just trash benevolent, large scale art works, made recycled materials. and in our theories on german books been english translation, we feature the last novel of lifetime or renounce author or germany post war period

. i'll see down go home, go debut novel, nervous conditions published in 1900. 88. not only made her part of the literary canon in africa, but it was the 1st novel published in english by a black woman from in bob boy, decades later on got i'm guy is also a successful play writes and filmmaker offer of a landmark trilogy. and she has just been awarded the peace prize of the german book trade. that's germany's highest literary honor the past and present as in bob way. how did the lives of people here develop after colonialism? that theme runs like a thread through city dungarees because work in a trilogy of novels. she depicts the life of a young woman struggling for the right to a dignified life. and for female self determination. that's not a given, hence,

in public hyperinflation. and the corona virus pandemic had let the authoritarian government to take even more repressive action against its own people. when city dunker remco demonstrated for political reform last year, she was arrested. the 2nd 59 does exist and it does come to the right to demonstrate tend to petition teeth silly. but it seems to be very difficult to do that practically because you run the risk of being rest of that. if you do the, the author to pick the social and moral conflicts in her homeland, through films as well as books. she's a student at the german film and television academy in berlin. she also frequently visits film festivals and looks for new partners for her projects. her book this morning, full body was short listed for the men booker prize in 2020 and city. duncan ramco

continues to write, taking a stance against a corrupt raheem that a crest of people, especially women, and in favor of political and economic progress in public. the will in 2019 the peace prize of the german book trade went to social documentary photographers, sebastian delgado, whose books are literally visual masterpieces. the brazilian describes his art as writing with light, and now he's added to his already considerable legacy with his newest book, a powerful tribute to the amazon rain forest and its indigenous inhabitants. the faces and landscapes that make a lasting impression. the amazon prime or mysterious treasure of the planet are the best, the else to god i have spent much of his life exploring it again. and again,

he spent months living in the settlements of indigenous peoples allowing himself to be touched by their lives. they gave me harm in their village and i went hunting with them. i felt very comfortable there with the last who was sitting in his book, amazonia salgado shows that he's not just a great photographer, but also a humanitarian. she's brought great patients and dedication to learning about the vast jungle and it's people like this yellow mommy village where the whole god for weeks witnessing the residence, joys and sorrows, the village chief was worried about the encroaching danger of so called civilization. now he's been immortalized in the book for them to prosper and to do the indigenous people live very closely with nature. wellness to me, city people moved away from splendid washing. we've become something like aliens on

earth. it's important to go back to the indigenous people. they also remind us that we are just one species on earth, among billions, media, stopping the destruction of the amazon rain forest. the merciless deforestation is what drives delgado. she's created a foundation that has already planted 2 and a half 1000000 trees on his parents farm. it's a miracle that nature can recover. for that reason, his perhaps last great work is meant to be a reminder to preserve the amazon rain forest for future generations. but as you worship today, the brazilian govern in the process of massively destroying the amazon. that's why it's so important to me. read knowledge is not the amazon with this. so this is our only chance to say that you got the saw, the whole world put your pressure on brazil. my face, but its film. the promethean deal saw through amazon is an impressive

legacy, the great activists and photographers, sebastian delgado, or from the amazon rain forest to the mixed forest of northern europe and beyond which, according to full clar, are of course full of mythical creatures like elves, fairies and trolls. while the latter are usually considered nasty, even dangerous, and their heart to spots. but thanks to danish artists, almost dumble as a growing tribe of ups, i called trolls that have a message of hope. y'all can circles then it's hiding in the forest. while i think a storm is watching over a clearing and lung i live, it's enjoying the beach. these mystical giant trolls live in denmark. what is going on? and how did they get here? i think like anybody else my age i grew up on fairy tales and folklore stories. so

i think that's why i like to tell them well and for me told they don't need to be like evil. they can also be good. in my favorite tell trolls they protect us of nature. ah, right now thomas dembo and his team of fallen t is legal eyes to this trial. so this one here is called even a vote. and it's like the little old but very intelligent. troll van is one of 10 trolls taking cover in the countryside. the story is a well known danish fairytale thomas plans to finish the sculpture in 10 days. as for me, has in height even is one of the more electrodes. some of the troll sculptures can reach up to 18 meters high. i like them to play with scale and make us feel small compared to them because we are really small compared to the nature of choosing the right materials is an important part of the process. this one here is made from the

pole that i found just around the corner here, and it's the from the local fishermen. they used them to tie the fishing nets on it because we are in the harbor. this one is the inscription stone, which is actually made from the same woods that comes from those rolling wagons that i called a whole bunch of in the workshop. aside from nails and glue, thomas only uses discarded would he collect some carrier to sit in his studio in copenhagen. this wooden furniture used to belong to a shop before it had to shut down. i think that project, such as my art can maybe help alter people's perspective on trash from being something was those to something with value. first tell must make sketches of his ideas in the heads and other details. so then put together in his studio, all the other parts that created out in the open. i'll give it like some kind of

pupil that paint black and put on here. it's always the last thing that i put in was completed, the heads of ready to settle for journey. this one never go to australia and this one would go to the united states for us to lose a total of 70 upside trolls hiding in places like belgium. where to rico both south korea. when i'm traveling out in the world, i need to like find the materials locally because of course i can bring it from copenhagen to china, selma down those land to get people out tools and in the nature around them seems to be all the german language is famous for its very long words and gun heights prevented going. is one of them. literally, it means reckoning with the past the past in question being the legacy of nazi germany and the holocaust of a writer is an artist. in postwar, germany,

it was and remains a heavy inheritance and also was con cup and was one of the 1st to tackle explorations of the german postwar soul. in an entertaining fashion. every big family has a black sheep work or 2. but what if the black food for the good guys and everyone else is liars, dogs and murder? the death in rome by vice gun cup and is about a family of nazis. a few years after world war 2, the father got to be beauty on as a former, as an officer who escaped prostitution and now deals in weapons. his wife, if it's still morning for hitler, she hates her husband for surviving the fear of because in her eyes, a real nazi hero would have died. only the young people in the family have any intention of moving past the nazi era. young, i don't want to be

a priest and the fleet as a composer whose latest work is premiering in rome, and that's where the family meets up. what a nightmare. and through it all got the beauty of the patriarch, the hardened nazi criminal census deep down, he's really just a coward. in reality, he had only ever followed orders himself, uti, and had been mighty. he had tasted power, but in order to enjoy it, he required it to be limited. he required the fuel as an embodiment and visible god of power, the commander who with his excuse before the creator, man and the devil. i only did what i was told. i only obeyed borders. the death in rome is the 3rd part of cup in so called trilogy of failure. about the long shadow of history that hung over postwar germany, especially since so few nazis actually paid for their crimes. the book is both

hilarious and tragic, and when it came out in 1954, it was highly provocative. death in rome made both con, cup and famous here in germany. and even though he never published another book in the next 42 years before his death, his fame never ended. ah, and to finish all the thousands of gid torres, both tall and small braves, the heat when they gathered in rolls from poland to play the famous jimi hendrix song. hey joe. well, it was a rehearsal ahead of an attempt to be, again, this world record for the number of guitar playing the piece of plan for when the role of virus pandemic is over. so optimism rules at the end of the day, all the best been logged in and enjoy. ah, in
