no, i am not in germany. i am by the mediterranean sea on the most popular holiday island for german tourists, majorca before the pandemic. there was usually a lot going on here around the so called ballymena. ah. as you can see, it's still very quiet here. so it's low season, like the calm before the storm of all the tourists tourism is starting again here and some are happy about that. others not that much. why is my york is so popular? that's what i want to find out. my yorkers attractions include palma, the capital, i have 3 tips for you. i will then take you to the other side of the island by train to so you. i also try

typical spanish appetizers, top us back to the beginning of my journey for a lim airport. from here, a plane is gonna take me straight from my york. make sure you have some extra time for the security chicken berlin. i'm in a hurry right now. the flight is almost fully booked from berlin. we had towards the mediterranean, after 2 and a half hours will end in palm on my york home. the island belongs to the belly, eric islands, in 2019 before the pandemic. around 14000000 international tourists visited the archipelago. my 1st stop is the see.

it's a mile 17 degrees celsius, but unfortunately not as sunny as i'd hoped. tourism in my orca has a long tradition, especially for visitors from germany. they love mother because it's usually warmer here. the island is also easy to get to and relatively inexpensive. so let's take a quick look back how that lay your co become the favorite island of the germans. in the 1950s tourism on my orca was still a pleasure reserved for the leitz. few people could even afford the price of the flight to the island that all changed with the introduction of inexpensive package tours offered by german travel agencies, spec flights, hotels,

and meals all inclusive and reasonably priced. suddenly tourism became a thing for the masses. in the 1960 s, more than 1000000 tourists came to the island annually. and apart from miner fluctuations, the number kept growing each year. by the end of the ninety's, my worker was a top occasion destination in europe with more than $6000000.00 guests per year. but on the beaches around our know, popular among german tourists. the drunken rowdy crowds often bring the uglier sides of mass tourism to light. about the vibe is great here. club, cool people, hot men, the as the noisy crowds of tory along the so called ballard mon beach became increasingly synonymous with the image of my worker. calls for more restrictions on the partying masses grew louder.

however, most attempts to reign in the excesses were unsuccessful. then, in 2020 there was a complete collapse. as the corona virus pandemic cleared the streets of the popular vacation i lent that my organs had to come to terms with just how dependent they had become on tourism. no guests meant no income and with poverty and unemployment on the rise. angry protest erupted in early 2021. thousands of people whose livelihoods depend on vacationers took to the streets. according to his study by the university of the bally eric islands, nearly a 3rd of the 1100000 residents on the archipelago or at risk of poverty. so

now that tourists are allowed to return, the question becomes, will my orca choose mass or class or go on. they feel we need to return to some sort of an oil say they don't, but we have to do it mindfully. he has to wait on we can't change the way things are, but we shouldn't return to the old days when everything was over crowded. yeah. can you? i'd like to more thought out. and loki tourism louis. yes. oh, a lot. depends on tourism here. about 80 percent of the people on my york i live directly or indirectly from it. how does the regional government see it? i meet rosanna, marie, you director general of tourism on the bali arctic islands. senora

. what are you out of the name of gina, missus moody. you, there is war in ukraine in the middle of europe. what does this effect tourism here? majorca ocoee and majorca says him, but i felt like us from that. we are of course affected by the war and i thought of place. all countries are affected because i mean i lost i thought it and not only the tourism salary, but production and infrastructure to allow mine or let it lapse. have been in the war and human suffering have consequences for all of your f and tourism is no exception. we haven't that, i mean they went off with him. okay. in portsmouth, him in the next few weeks and months things should really get going again with tourism. are you hoping for as many vacationers as possible? how do you see it? my, your coming up all seem that, oh, go moreover, when are not others? if them, if they, if have they don't? well, justice february, we passed a law that puts a cap on the number of hotels in vacation accommodation on the malaria island estimate about got them out in wiley. i did, that means we won't continue to grow north. it won't be possible to build new

hotels or holiday apartment, stuff of silicon, fiona, you go him, isn't that simple? what will happen to the hotel complexes in loud enough and mike, aloof all these huge hotels for germans, dutch and brits less if say i own and not my be about it. like when the new laws passed containing certain requirements than businesses offering accommodation half to can climb the canada. that means one over the often we provide public funds to support businesses and meeting these applications and improving quality and sustainability that are less often even though that are stuck. i don't care, but we are clear about our direction is helpful. don't yet food on know our future does not lie in low quality, offering luge party crowds or irresponsible tourism or response harmony. yes. was that i am into knobs on your pregnancy at really an option 40 i with all due respect. my yorker has a certain image for you, especially in germany, lots of beer, beaches and parties which as that of a s. i know how i want to change some things that's developed over decades, thought chaos, eagle port, vicar se, se is, and when, if you're right,

it's tricky. that element there is. but remember that type of party tourism only effect that a small part of the island. i promised before the pandemic hit, we'd already introduced a law to tackle the excess a lot of fun. i mostly aimed at the beaches of paloma, which attract most of the german tourist, is more on in my i remember, you know what? yeah, why don't go read it is lost. i don't know what that is in the pandemic case. not, and of course that meant no tourism at all. just a matter of cynthia. so we couldn't really implement that law. i thought i'd often buy a lot. we put a lot of restrictions on the abuse of alcohol. i'm what's aimed at the disruptive activities taking place in those areas. but elephant vanessa vanessa can not get em off. we don't want to see that on the bali eric island and he'll get us on his cell . phone is off in the we in the administration are doing everything in our power to change it off. i thought okay, well thank you. thank you. the next thing i want to do is visit palmer, the capital of the island. my 1st tip for you is the cathedral built

in the 14th century palmer cathedral is one of the most important gothic buildings in all of europe. i am particularly impressed by the stained glass windows especially the magnificent rose window on the east facade. this cathedral east. huge numerous artists, half or more, to lights themselves. here over the centuries, the famous spanish architect anthony go deep, redesigned the choir room at the beginning of the 20th century.

i can also recommend this somewhat strenuous climb to the terrace of the cathedral . from up there you'll have a great view of the whole bay of palmer ah ah! here you can also see how huge the round window looks up close. and look there a cruise ship is back at sea. next

we go to the old town of palmer on the square in front of the town hall. there is a peculiar overgrown structure. the olive tree is set to be at least 500 years old, but no one knows for sure. there is art nouveau, architecture, everywhere in the old town you can explore wonderfully on foot. it's so pleasant here that i don't even realize i'm in the big city. after all. 400000 people live in palmer through this place looks quite similar to the plaza. my order madrid. so this is typically spanish. ah, my 3rd tip for

a visit to palmer is between the old town and the port this is the neighborhood of santa catalina, quite popular for a few years. and by the way, fisherman used to live here in the past the district has developed into a trendy area in recent years. the mostly smaller to story houses have been renovated here. you'll find shops, restaurants, and can face. it's a great atmosphere. ah, i now i want to go out into nature and there's a great way to do that. sustainable. and with a nostalgia factor. lou.

this is the train that's gonna take me straight to the other end of the island. as the name suggests, the trend this sawyer takes you to sawyer the string connection that has existed since 1912. it takes about an hour for the historic locomotive to travel the 27 kilometers there and back costs. 32 euros. i find its well worth the price. the gentle rattling of the train is peaceful and the views are beautiful. we had through the mountain range, sadly from montana in the northwest of majorca, with mountains up to 1500 meters. the train stops in the middle of the mountains to give us the opportunity to enjoy this view. mm hm. mm hm. huh.

ah, terminus saw you here. i switched to the tram because i want to go to the port the so you this old tram is in no hurry either. 30 minutes later i reach my destination. port of the so you is situated in a large sheltered bait. one of countless base on the islets each has its own character.

there are a lot of boats here. the owners are probably still waiting for better weather. so am i bought it the so yet is framed by that from want on the mountains. it's only this quiet in the off season. unfortunately, it's still too cold for swimming. the water is just 14 degrees celsius. and now i'm getting hungry. a colleague recommended this little place to me. i try some spanish specialties with us if they mean both. they buy their own garcia as i've ordered some top us that's typical spanish snacks, crockett's some potatoes with spicy sauce. these are peppers with salt on top,

and olives and some bread. so let's see. you're with i now want to take a closer look at what i saw in the distance of the train turn the tram montana mountains with the set up a time when tana is a popular hiking area you can spend days here strip should be enough for me from beany bussey to for another with this mix of unspoiled nature and terraces made for growing oranges. alman and olive trees makes the come went on

a unique. that is why it is also a unesco world heritage site. in addition, this landscape has been spared from mass tourism so far i this is definitely something different. my archive not only beaches and palm trees . my orca is also mountains. ah, for the luke is a popular destination. about $600.00 residents ensure their village is wonderfully preserved. if even received awards and recognition of beauty,

nice little village. the hike was worth it. back and palmer, the environmental protection of my yorker also has a lobby. the g o. b group by the outdoor me to look here is a nature conservation group that takes a critical look at the consequences of tourism. i meet medically that armies in this park and palmer. she's the spokes person for the g o beat, or thick kreuziger law. consequences in your criticize the effects of mass tourism . so as a tourist or am i part of the problem so bad that a pro lima nice umbrella may know this. it's not an individual problem. it's a political problem. and one that has to do with the local economic model. after many years ago, it was decided that new york would be a place, a tourism fighter, and we became nearly dependent on the family, mel effects of the economy. they won't select thought economical case. what can you

do against this dependency and answer when the most apostolic. what else? when we opted for tourism, we stopped producing the things that we need to live here in the alley. men thought out everything from food to other necessities fresh austin had low either again. but then we made ourselves dependent on the import of goods from elsewhere. they may have got the as there's, they florida thing happened against the backdrop of the climate crisis. wars are they, they, they are now transport routes and means of transportation must be changed when it kill dashboard and we need to stop producing something else in the dagger. lacy's lead will run up to the theater prosperity must be generated from the production of our own essential goods, easily elaborate and not only from tourism. yes, but as our st. louis that you know, so anybody comalla will say is if there are a lot of people here who earn a lot of money from too. so do you have to fight these people, or how do you see it? okay, char, compress a hint that okamuro over. i am, which was him. that is, there are many interests in the tourism industry. kick denisha, there is always the question of in generates this wealth and who benefits from west

lock. it is not the people here in the local population got out of my we see for example, that many hotels around by international investment funds. so got to be the, somebody aimed to create more wealth, a few people mean off. meanwhile, the quality of life here is decreasing abbey by we see this in a rising levels of poverty and unemployment, that they have a few of students and the quality of work in the industry and related status and nothing came victo unless i thought it all will indicate us of prosperity in a society in decline or seem this gay. so unless there be any static nevertheless, every summer, more and more tourist town. visiting the island, my studies that gave you an abbey. so we need to find a balance basic them what they can leave it out. is this a program where exactly is the problem? is there are many people in europe and around the world who think my yorker is a beautiful island and would like to visit and get the island is quite big. there is enough space for every one, right. it's possible to thought no, and i, yes, bathroom and her house isn't the problem is that tourism has outgrown the island

because you couldn't say that meal careers suffering from touristic obesity, especially in the summer model. this leads to an imbalance which can not be sustained, socially, or environmentally. well, okay. come in the mail, you my, your kathy slammed down a bit. go on a diet isn't something we said when, when it comes to tourism? yes. yes. good. good. i thank you. thank you. that brings me back to where i started to the so called belmont beach areas are called by the audio and spanish, but with tourists flocking from germany. this became the bellman. as you can see, i am here and those read thoughts are by the audio. so seaside resort services and the translation german is actually by la mon, i can't believe it. this stretch of beach is a red rack for all my your kids who have had enough master is the numerous bars and clubs on is arina beach in the high season. it's just one boozy party mile.

hello. although most of the big clubs like mega park were close during the pandemic, they want to reopen this year, especially for german party tourists. the mentioned that kinda restaurant is also in german hands since 1988 get linda vinegar has seen many tourists come and go some tim balaban. you're also part of the parliament. that's the thorn in the side of the regional government. they don't like it that much unless they would rather have more quality and less quantity. do you sometimes have the feeling that you're not really wanted here? that's the ide advil to the initial christy. a vincent does and it comes to seen

this. i'm so i think it's a matter of perspective done by monday, tanya, i any because the bala my can also be of high quality, was in philosophy and i some maybe it applies to the people who are completely out of control and misbehaving. hallmark this benita glenn, those people might not be wanted here on emerson vide kinsey to fight off. but to what extent can you understand that you might be part of the problem? i mean, you surf elk, all their life acts, lots of music people dance. can you control that kenzie does strict, virtually on nora does in andy same. yes. and is in this 5 i as they're looking at it the wrong way to well allow me solely selling cultural holidays is wishful thinking on my you. if i said little in new york is big enough for everyone as well, is, is canada eula, loma the yoga tourists can stay and think on i, the cyclists can come in winter all, but there has to be space for us to them. i knew you near my still mom, i was even

a millionaire. might want to go out for $12.00 or more beers. just the hood. i english as it's just a part of being european are being a westerner, theo, owner, and best part of having a good quality of life. and the tool isn't needs to leave in flood, and you don't have to overdo it, vanishing one time. then thanks for the interview and all the best. no, thanks. at the end of my trip, i returned to santa catalina, the trendy district of palmer. there is a lot going on here in the evenings. how

as tourism changed on my orca after the pandemic isn't going to be class instead of mass. so lecture trips or party tours. well, in any case, most of the people on my, arca will be very happy that tourism, that is so important for this island, picks up again at all. and i don't think this was my last time here or yes. ah ah ah ah, with

ah, with you you can't draw the line between the species because i don't believe that species is a morally relevant criterion any more than i believe the rice. so sex is on taren. 2 animals like us. 2 2 2 2 2 we humans are closer to

a chimpanzee. vanna chimpanzee is even to a dog. our documentary series, the great media debate coming up on d. w. in good shape. cancer. the risk to develop it is increasing even for the young. what are the causes? how can you protect yourself? how can you recognize the early sy, preventing cancer? what you do in good shape. in 30 minutes on d, w. o. and the only way i can be on top is to create my own and
