the w mines. these places in europe, a smashing step into a bold adventure the treasure map for martin clo. describe it as some of us, wriggled, bragging sides on youtube, and also the the consequences of climate change. beautiful tourist destinations, such as germany's our valley are being destroyed, order to reach and cannot function without tourism. one covers what climate change also offers new opportunities for tours off the beaten track. i think there's going to 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 honor 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, has the 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 live now live in, but not, you know, are thinking about this to their hotel, the art new vote. villa aurora, built in 19 o 5 was almost completely destroyed by the slide. the model is enough for the name of your, with the 4th generations to run this hotel. we can make the original building has quite a bit of the use and has survived to world war seen it as a history of the time dots on august christian length. 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. while we were here on the night of the flood, and we cleared out all the, much of the furniture of them that we cleared out everything we had. we felt like we were watching a bad film, but this is real please. we're living on

a building site. i'm hoping this is our life. but what happened that night is still just unbelievable is as to as flapped on the cartridge isn't full of the some. we're happy that out. you didn't 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 to wherever possible the renovation is, climate friendly. the guns for more than the vaults in future guests will expect it. is that i'm a to a now how do you so no, they won't say, oh, it's great that you're 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, predict what be a huge cost to be sustainable. it will be normal and is incentive to problem. if

you don't have it done, i suppose the listeners are striving to reopen at least part of the hotel. the 1st guest 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 over nights, but it's taking place gradually. via turtle, ice is storing, making way for places previously, only discovered by a few people. will climate change provide an opportunity for tourism here and the 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 skiffs 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 in their home, or you can see deposition, which means the south soundman premier to all the way to the big see here we have a maritime, a curse where we learned about the mo, the engine is stuff so we can say a vote the sometime then now i am like captain. so that's really what i did. 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 i ask people for going here to the ice campus is melting that it's exhilarating. it said that the temperature is rising 3 times in the home, so it's for the next 50 years. the ice kept will be built in boston, 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, greenland 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 the use of the season ality is really, really big and greenland, we get a lot of tourists and

a 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 and 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 green lives . economy. fishing is still our main industry, but with a warming climate you see some fish disappearing and the number of fish is always fluctuating. like we've had even some decades where a specialist is completely gone. and if that happens again, i think it's important to have other e can nomic pillars for the whole nations gdp. but is greenland ready for more tourist? 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 prepare and

demick 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 tourism is using of the islands water. not really that this k on duty style consume. it must, i was going to see them bit put it under my use of the fact is the tories consume more water than the normal inhabitants that love it. uh, the consumer. they want to see the real times as much according to a study by the university of palmer and the name of the brass produce, because going to get the same. so if you have 16000000 torres coming to an island to see us 1000000 inhabitants in the summer time and then we have spoken of you can imagine what that means for the demand on the water. i was waiting for the pencils

. wouldn't they load me says they were they right on the small york and people are protesting. and margarita is one of the organizers they are demonstrating for more environmental protection and less mass tourism. many tours 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. not a lot of women that's been one of the main arguments is that we are totally dependent on one single economic sector is not the initial reason that the island has no alternatives. this is will have to maintain our prosperity by your code most to attract more and more vacation, those fund anything but it's not good for the well being of our societies or environment. it's simply not sustainable. and the course of funding source, the new list more and more tourist mean less and less water. people are

starting to look for solutions and my archive. meanwhile, construction and renovation are continuing in the r valley. but the return to tourism is still a long way off the at least the are from a non is being resurfaced. there's still a lot to do like villa 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 of auto tourism. the association wants to provide the region as a tourist destination hotel and restaurant honors and wine makers, all over ideas for climate friendly travel. any our valley does. this

person is expected to focus on sustainability people to create offers for all age groups. i just want to focus on aspects of tourism that are already sustainable and viewed sort of cycling or hiking and the issue of mobility movie to to reschedule this. indeed the impossible for me, what's missing is the infrastructure. we can talk more about sustainable mobility amiability coming, but what we really need is charging stations for electric cars, crushed whole to an odd to me. i had finished every stick and bottom line. i didn't thought annoying uh before the flood. there was only one charging option is just one at bmw. i know i'm cigarette and they were kind enough to say central people to us below to to, i mean that just isn't good enough. the, our 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 of thought. this, mia, i'll see a lot more needs to be done in full volume. it's too much red tape here in the political and administrative processes. a simply to slow click learn from one possible remote. it was really sad to me is that they can't be a bit more generous in dealing with a catastrophe like this and say, hey, you guys need to get back on your feet up to 3 so called so will speed up the processes and make decisions. and just get on with it in a while and nothing on 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 tuck. 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, 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. but 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. so 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 we talk. re oldenburg heads, the tourism studies department demand from graduates for her course is greater than ever the we expect that we will have

even more to is when the new way of thoughts, the full efforts will be finished. and we had shown from our sources that we will have to have at least 400 greenland to person know, ready when they have thoughts of finished and when not nearly they have. 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 christiansen 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 it 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 all the people from around the world. what i love about school and,

and where i'm from hello, welcome, my name is trinity. and so carol is subbing at the time with scholastic as a tech to a guy who 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 feet 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 used to be head. 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 to and that's of her time is advocates and we'll take it to us to see and then we'll evaluate the there was the very quick and the time to buy very fast. and i had a lot more that i would tend to enough to say, especially about the, the 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 york, norbert and coast john, i'm to or from germany, run a think a into the, in the west of the island. this season, the heat and drought have been troubling them for months. the, the em 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 in the 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. seem to have to sign for the invoice. then you can transfer the money or if you're satisfied so much if i have, you know, get the m 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 we don't 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 outside? the hotel operators thinks that their guests should be able to completely switch off for a care free vacation. even from issues such as water consumption and climate protection . with the name of the company, we don't want the customer to feel uncomfortable, you know, think they are doing something wrong. that's why we have to try and solve this problem. i'll sound so sound or at least reduce it or whatever is a problem. what they mean side of support? 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 pc say because they're referencing

the water, used by guests in the showers or sinks 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 out of how to see him put it in that we're doing everything we can to use. last one says, as a constant we get on to that is only slightly polluted a 2nd life. if you were to be less out west all grades, his goal is to eventually draw no water. a tool from oakside, you know, the moist through, but 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 last bit 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 more guy eaten a nice or skeptical about it towards him 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 receptacles. it's waste, it's a good thing then. it's necessary, but it's not enough to stop in. and if it's ideal but or not. so if you see, and 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 1st step on 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. examiner is re oldenburg and i go to kristin's and 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 just saying that the numbers of choice will go up when they're done making the to airports. wouldn't come as a surprise. it is something that would have been wanting for

a long time and it's finally happening. and i am really excited about that. but in new can elusive really great. so is this donations that are just not enough hotels at the moment they don't have the capacity tourism can be an opportunity for greenland. if it's sustainable and climate friendly to the and her fellow students represent a new generation and the ground experiment. back in the our 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 but no, you know, are by now and need a place to stay. there are regular guests among the group of 9 runners from buttons side where the 1st to visit after the slide. for any use of this slot, i'm going 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 drive around 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, a ruler on many times, but i know to you, we are changing a lot to you and we changing a loading. the basic structure,

the restaurant will stay where it is. 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 of the 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, it was the swimming pool. lots, i can tell the art nouveau. villa is still barely recognizable the but for christian mentor, there is history in every room. his own. and that of his ancestors, the size just kind of came tied to smoking. the hotel is my childhood and its my life from the young. this is the lights work of my family here . and what we're doing here is 4 and looking to close my eyes and on, which is why we are putting so much passion into effect 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 monday, steve over here we go. and there's to him shots and now the climate friendly tourism is the start of a long distance race for the living, their family and for the our valley concepts, which basically we kind of think in terms of one or 2 years and we should be thinking about the next generation which is already here and might want to continue on a business that pulls it to a very positive about investigate is an enormous amount of money being invested in sustainability in northern europe will energies and so on. so it will be taking assurance stepped forward in the next 5 to 10 years of the same young shopping and dinings provide english with my phone and my the the

a pulse, the beginning of a story that takes us along for the ride. it's about the perspectives culture information. this is the the news w. mine's it's because think about like book lucio. juliet the way you were looking to ship, which in the world uh. categories deals, sickness plus yes for see if this is to consequentialist settled instruction and to find that 10 voices, one european war conflict in ukraine in 75 minutes

on d w. the words people have to say that's why we listen to every weekend on d. w, the, this is dave dudley news, and these are our top stores, or nearly 3000 people are now known to have been killed in morocco's deadliest. it's quite in more than 6 decades. rescue is a still searching for survivors in the high atlas mountain south west of america's bunch of the quakes on is remote and hard to reach. maybe as a student, government says more than 2000 people have been killed in thousands more missing in

flooding.
