consequences of climate change. beautiful tourist destinations such as germany's our valley are being destroyed. for tooth region cannot function without tourism. it's fun covers that climate change also offers new opportunities for tours off the beaten track. i think this gonna be more because of the the new airport is climate change is also impacting tourism on the island of my york, the dream destination of many germans. in some districts, the water taps were turned off. i know there were water shortages for domestic use tourism in times of climate change. we looked at 3 destinations and 3 approaches. the,

the, our valley has become a symbol of climate change in germany and shows how a natural catastrophe can damage local tourism the before the floods. this region attracted half a 1000000 visitors per year. but those times are over. the people in the, our valley are wondering how a new form of tourism could look in times of climate change. the christian and clarissa lynn, who live in but know, you know, are thinking about this to their hotel, the art nouveau villa aurora, built in 19 o. 5 was almost completely destroyed by the flight. the models, enough for the normal tour, with the 4th generations to run this hotel original building has granted the use and has survived to world war seen. it has a history of the time dots on august,

a christian lint, as great grand parents, opened the hotel at the beginning of the 20th century. the flood destroyed the sweets, the kitchen, and the wellness area platform. first of all, it is still unbelievable. we were here on the night of the flood and we cleared out all the mud, all the furniture, and we cleared out everything we had. we felt like we were watching a bad film hope to go from, but this is real please. we're living on a building site. i'm up with. this is our life. but what happened that night is still just unbelievable. i'm is to is flat on the cartridge, isn't full, doesn't we're happy that out. children go through the night and that nothing bad happened. now the letting us face the enormous challenge of rebuilding the hotel they want to retain its art nouveau, charm and to make it sustainable with new installation on the outside and district heating instead of oil and gas heating wherever possible. the renovation is climate

friendly digging us for more than the vaults and future guests will expect that instead of a to a now how do you so no, they won't say, oh, it's great that us sustainable them say, i expect sustainability in terms of c o 2 neutrality and everything else from the i have. so in 5 or 10 years time for they wouldn't be a huge cost to be sustainable. it will be normal to them. and as a fan, it's a problem. if you don't have it done, i suppose the listeners are striving to reopen at least part of the hotel. the 1st guess should be able to eat breakfast here in just a few weeks. we'll see later if it works out in greenland, the catastrophe hasn't arrived overnight, but it's taking place gradually via journal ice is making way for places previously only discovered by

a few people. will climate change provide an opportunity for tourism here and a new income stream for the green lenders? we do a boat trip from the coast of new the capital of greenland. only 19000 people live here. 26 year old. my new skiff to has been working as a tourist guide for a year in this remote place. i'm going to tell you about our a nukes the. our system is the 2nd for life largest and therefore you can see good resistance, which means the south seligman premier to all the way to the big see here we have a maritime, a curse where we learned about the move into this stuff. so we can say

a vote sometime then now i am like captain. so really writing the really enjoys speeding across the water. visitors come to greenland in search of adventure and the wild beauty of unspoiled nature. the simona in guna funding lead in from denmark have made a point, is coming here in the winter. the nature is the one that is stronger than you as a, as a human being. so in to, to be here. experience is also to feel a little bit smaller. yeah, of course that's a say a part of the reason actually for, for going here to the ice campus is melting. the excel rating said that the

temperature is rising 3 times in the home. so it's for the next 50 years. uh the odds kit will be visiting here really fast. and so it's an opportunity to see now for many people, greenland has become the symbol of climate change. the just 57000 people live in greenland, which has in areas 6 times larger than germany. traveling is arduous. here. the rising temperatures make it easier. for cruise ships, for instance. around a $137000.00 tourists come to greenland every year and the numbers are rising. 3 new airports are currently being built. politically. freeman belongs to denmark. the economy depends on payments from copenhagen. the increasing tourism is

a welcome source of income. nuke water taxi. the firm that tour guide model works for is based in new the team is currently expanding its offering a winter activities system. the to decide that you will see finality is really, really big agreements. we get a lot of tourists and the few short summer months and then during the shoulder season, as we call them, not as many. which means for us as a company, we can't hold onto all our employees, they have to go on find something else to do in the winter time. yeah, last year long tourism would be an important factor for the labor market. and for greenland, the economy fishing is still a main industry. but with the warming climate you see some fish disappearing and the number of fish is always fluctuating. like we've had even some decades

where officials is completely gone. and if that happens again, i think it's important to us that he cannot make pillars for the whole nations gdp, but is green and ready for more tourists. we've seen what can happen when too many visitors come to one island. this is my york, the germans favorite holiday destination visitor numbers are back to pre pandemic levels. nobody wants to hear about the islands environmental problem. water shortages have been triggered by climate change and tourism the margarita and these is the spokesperson for the largest environmental organization in my orca . she says that torres and is using up the islands water. i really like this k on duty side consume. it must. i was going to see didn't fit,

put it under my use of the fact is the tourist consumed more water than the normal on how to download it. to get 3 peak i was going to more than one to see the real times as much according to a study by the university of palmer. when the name was simple asked, what do you think that's going to be saved? so if you have 16000000 torres coming to an island, the 1000000 inhabitants in the summer. ok, that means in the us congress, you can imagine what that means for the demand on the water. i was waiting for the pump is what i'm looking for since they were they made these my or can, people are protesting. and margarita is one of the organizers they are demonstrating for more environmental protection and less mass tourism. many tourists have no idea that they're partly responsible for the water shortage on the island. increasing drought triggered by climate change is exacerbating the problem. when i look at women, that's been one of the main arguments, is that we are totally dependent on one single economic sector,

not the enable or is that the island has no alternatives. this system have to maintain our prosperity by your code, as opposed to attract more and more vacation those fund anything but it's not good for the well being of our society's environment. it's simply not sustainable. and of course us so needs to stay new lives more and more tourists mean less and less water. people are starting to look for solutions and my archive. meanwhile, construction and renovation are continuing in the, our valley. but the return to tourism is still a long way off. the at least the are from an odd is being resurfaced. there's still a lot to do, like zillow aurora before the partial reopening. listeners are faced with new requirements all the time. now they need a new fire protection concept. the

sustainable tourism for the entire region is a great wish for custom lintner, who is the chairman auto tourism. the association wants to provide the region as a tourist destination hotel and restaurant owners and wine makers, all over ideas for climate friendly travel. any our valley does this be a virus and is expected to focus on sustainability to create offers for all age groups. i just want to focus on aspects of tourism that are already sustainable in the sort of cycling or hiking bundle and the issue of mobility movie to refer to this in the, in the hospital for me, what's missing is the infrastructure. we can talk more about sustainable mobility, a mobility, but what we really need is charging stations for electric cars, crushed whole to an odd um hi, fitness, every stick and bottom line i had student but no n a before the flood. there was only one charging option,

just one at bmw. i know i'm cigarette and they were kind enough to say central people to us if you lot to to. i mean, that just isn't good enough. the r valley will be a showcase for the tourist model of the future and exemplary sustainable climate friendly holiday destination. the concept is planned for completion in 2025. it's a great idea. but how does it work in practice? in their climate conscious reconstruction of their hotel to live, their family has numerous hurdles to overcome the list. the dart this me out, i'll see a lot more needs to be done. so by there is too much red tape here in the portal. the political and administrative processes a simply to slow click learn from the one. that's what we really said to me is that they can't be a bit more generous and dealing with

a catastrophe like this and say, hey, you guys need to get back on your feet, refused to call. so will speed up the processes and make decisions. and just get on with them on the red tape is causing the review of their fire protection concept to drag onto. the authorities are understaffed. so it'll take at least 6 weeks longer than announced. it's a set back and the hope for partial opening of the hotel has been postponed. back to greenland to a small town called hole talk. it's in the south of the country. the town is virtually undiscovered, accessible only by helicopter. so far, there's no airport, but that's about to change the runway should be ready in 2025, then the 1st tourist will arrive,

the locals hope it will be a lucrative business. up to now, the mining of raw materials and fishing have provided the biggest sources of income . but both industries cause massive damage to the environment that can tourism via climate friendly alternative. is it the lesser evil? for now, no one can say whether the increase in visitors will be a curse or a blessing for greenland. the campus is the only university in south greenland. this is where students are being trained to build up. the local tourist industry, future tour guides, hotel yeas and tourism managers. until now, many young green lenders had to leave the country to pursue higher education, and a large proportion remained in local businesses with no vocational training. much hope is invested in the young who want more greenland itself determination and to

break free from the world's hunger. for raw materials. students come from the whole country to have to talk re oldenburg heads, the tourism studies department. demand from graduates for her course is greater than ever and we expect that we will have even more to is when the new way of thoughts, the full efforts will be finished. and we are shown from our sources that we will have to have at least 400 green landed person, the ready when they afterwards are finished. and we're not nearly there, but the interest from the students is, is going i think it's the day of the exam re oldenburg and her colleague, i go christensen are putting their students' knowledge to the test with a guided city tour. the 1st candidate is people look anderson for friends,

call her people to has just been in my heart and, and i love it so much and that's so much of glue and that i want to show and being a guide gives me the opportunity to show are the people from around the world, what i love about school and and where i'm from hello, welcome, my name is viva. turn it to you as though fairly southern of the english graphic as a tour guide. people has 20 minutes for her tour. her knowledge of culture, geography and history are all put to the test, as well as her skill as a tour guide. welcome to the best bargain. the

theme of the tour is hunting in greenland. this is the skin of a right to you can see it's really hard to see, but they use any have small rings on the pad and yeah, the, that's where the home's views to be and they cut the on saw nothing goes to age and we still keep them has chosen her own topic. like all of the examination candidates. there's a tradition of hunting in her family and she knows the topic well. the hunting season, this phone 1st of august 2, and that's a term but her time is i will take it to us to see and then we'll evaluate

it was very quick and the times through by very fast and i had a lot more that i would have to enough to say, especially about the to hunting tools, which is very important. and since so big i was really excited to talk about in a few hours. people will find out whether she's passed or exam back to an island with a long history of tourism in my orca. norbert and cos. jonah, i'm to or from germany, run a think i in the, in the west of the island this season, the heat and drought have been troubling them for months. the, the end towards well has run dry. again. the only solution is to buy more water.

it's the 6th time this year that know about i'm to was how to order the tank or the i'm it's $92.00 in the me to and we have 90 centimeters of water in the system which is just about the limit chain from now we have to add 10 or 15 centimeters with the 12000 ladies in the truck. when do we need that pretty urgently? no rush thing and it costs 70 euro surprisingly little for such a precious commodity. the have to sign for the invoice, then you can transfer the money or if you're satisfied so much goodbye heavy. that does not. yes. the em tours trying to save water, but there are limits if the hotel is to remain attractive for guests. the same principle applies to both small and large hotels. they are the biggest

wasters of water on the island. luxury hotels have several pools with sun bathing areas and wellness facilities. the more stars the hotel has, the more water it can or the operators are aware of the problem, but they don't want to force their guest to save water equipment. so you have a model, they always point out that you have the great option here of being provided with clean towels for the pool or the beach even then it's your responsibility to say, do i change it every day? or can i use it for a few days out of the hotel operators? think that their guest should be able to completely switch off for a care free vacation, even from issues such as water consumption and climate protection put the name of the company. we don't want the customer to feel uncomfortable, you know, think they all doing something wrong. that's why we have to try and solve this problem. so sound, so sound or at least reduce it. now what is the problem?

well, they meaning the inside of separately. so fam, no, no, my teen tankers with solutions behind the scenes, he aims to make the water consumption sustainable in his hotel using a circulation system the day because we have referencing our water used by guests in the showers or sings is recycle here for flushing toilets or watering the green areas, using the latest technology, it's done in an environmentally friendly way. according to the operators, it saves the hotel around 30 tons of water per day. here okay, is that what i'm seeing putting in that we're doing everything we can to use last, what was the last name as a constant,

we get point to that is only slightly polluted a 2nd life. if you want to be less at west upgrade, his goal is to eventually draw no warrant for a tool from a sign you know the worst through about to have a close cycle within the hotel we need there's still a long way to go until the end but we're working on it as long as the la course, but of almost all i'm going to say since the government of my york recently passed a new law that all hotels should pursue a close circulation strategy for water. as well as for energy waste and food, environmental is like my guy eaten nice or skeptical about it. tourism can never be a circular sector. it consume is far too much energy and resources that cannot be offset anywhere. an island, like my york in particular, cannot cope with it in the long term. it's a hotel, jesus less water and was cycles, it's waste, it's a good thing. so it's necessary, but it's not enough to stop in a sniff, it's ideal,

better. know. so if it's in fact this is tourism in times of climate change in my york people are being forced to take measures. hardly anyone had thought about until recently. in greenland tourism is still in its infancy enough local tour guides need to be trained. first step of the student of tourism is waiting for the evaluation for city tour. she's also been tested on her time allocation. some to our groups have little time for a city tour, especially those from cruise ships examiners re oldenburg and i go christianson. say that people could have tightened her program a bit more. we believe there was still room for improvement, which is why we decided to give you 10 out of 12 points. so you still have an incentive for the next exam. the 1st of a total of 10 exams has been completed. tupa and her fellow students are optimistic

about greenland tourism future, yet many of them are still uncertain about what to expect and how to cope with that . i'm just saying that the numbers of choice will go up when they're done making it to airports. wouldn't come as a surprise. it is something that we have been wanting for a long time and it's finally happening. and i am really excited about that. but in new can, elusive is really great. so is this donations? there are just not enough hotels at the moment. they don't have to capacity tourism can be an opportunity for greenland. if it's sustainable and climate friendly to the enter, fellow students represent a new generation and

a ground experiment. back in the owner valley, it's a special day. the iris son is the most famous sports event in the region. after a 3 year break, the marathon has attracted thousands of guests to the valley. again. the root leads right through the vineyards and just in time for the running event, the villain, aurora is also celebrating its reopening. still in their family are right at the start. runners from all over germany come to button 1000000 are are by now and need a place to stay. there are regular guests among the group of 9 runners from button shide, who are the 1st to visit after the flood for any use of fish loud and but to be honest, i was really shocked. i didn't imagine that the damage would still be so visible because it was 2 years ago i arrived here with my friend and told her driver on the

back of the building. there's a parking lot and the garden at the back. but then we saw that everything is still a wasteland to the hotel is halfway restored. but i was kind of shocked. i have to say was the sound. sabina voice has stayed at the village aurora many times. and few, we are changing a lot to you. i didn't read changing a loading, the basic structure, the restaurant will stay where it is. but yes, now the buffet area is getting a little bigger on the lobby. it's all going to be one room since it is a lot going on. a he wasn't this the breakfast room or the reception here in front was the boss. uh huh. yes. the bar you went through here towards the swimming pool . lots. i can tell the art nouveau villa is still barely recognizable the but for christian meantime, there is history in every room his own and that of his ancestors,

the size just might have came tied to some of the hotel is my childhood. so think it's my life if i'm be own, this is the life's work as my family here. and what we're doing here is forward looking to close my eyes and on which is why we are putting so much passion into us . talk to you that in on that's why it means an awful lot to me. not that way. reopening now. yeah. so talk to me on i, steve over here we go. i'm a big jump starts and now the climate friendly tourism is the start of a long distance race for the listener family and for the our valley concepts, which basically we kind of think in terms of 102 years and we should be thinking about the next generation which is already here, i might want to continue the business that pulls it to a very positive about that. it goes an enormous amount of money being invested in sustainability in northern europe will energies and so on. so it will be taking

assurance step forward in the next 5 to 10 years of the same young song and dance. provide english with my phone and my the the we say they're about never giving up every weekend on dw evelyn charmaya. welcome to my pod cast matters that i am by celebrities, influenza and experts to talk about all playing loved data and yet today,

nothing less the south. all these things in more and the new season of the fuck. com. make sure to tune in wherever you get your thoughts costs enjoying the conversation. because you know, it's last matter. the phones in turmoil in summer 2023 and we use crushed with security forces in front of suburbs. the unrest erupt. suits of to 17 year old man, man who was fatally shot doing police traffic stuff. footage of the incidents which went around the world pretty good, a wave of protest. many youths in the suburbs, few deeply frustrated. the parents main one are trying to restore, come and build trusts between youngsters and the police. but.
