Extreme weather is affecting the whole world - and climate change certainly doesn’t stop at popular vacation destinations. Where is tourism accelerating climate change? And where could tourism provide an opportunity?
Until the flood disaster in 2021, the Ahr Valley was seen as a dream destination for wellness and wine tourists. Today, the devastation in the Ahr Valley is symbolic of the extreme weather events that could be hitting Germany more frequently due to climate change. How can the Ahr Valley attract visitors again after its infrastructure and gastronomy were swept away? A catastrophe like the flood in 2021 cannot be allowed to recur. Reconstruction of the region aims to make the Ahr Valley a model region for low-impact, sustainable tourism.
In Mallorca, it may already be too late for sustainable tourism. Recent decades have seen the island overrun by mass tourism. The consequences are especially visible in the wake of climate change: extreme drought and water shortages are putting a strain on the Balearic island, where resources are already scarce. Tourism accounts for over a quarter of total water consumption.
Barely any other place on earth has seen the consequences of climate change as clearly as Greenland. Yet some of the island's inhabitants also see opportunities in global warming: melting glaciers are clearing the way for the mining of rare earths and other valuable raw materials. The problem is that mining harms the environment and the people. Can tourism offer a more climate-friendly alternative to boost the economy?

Watching this video made me think that we need to consider something a little more fundamental. If the natural environment in which we live changes, all of our lives will inevitably change. It is natural that even our survival is threatened. "You cannot be dreaming now of happiness and all the wonderful things you are going to be, do and have. You have to respond to the changing landscape. When your environment changes, everything changes. When your climate changes, everything changes. When your resources are depleted, everything changes. Those who can see this and face this will find ways to prepare in a constructive way, not simply to fortify themselves, but to put themselves in a position where they can be stable enough to be of service to others." ~ Marshall Vian Summers

This one is from a tiny, beautiful Liuqiu Island in Taiwan- one of the places on Earth that is experiencing rapid coral bleaching due to warming sea temperatures. Of course every single small things we do is important and valuable but The things we do to damage is far greater than the things we do to protect/minimize our impact on the nature. Just like one of the interviewer in the documentary mentioned the tourism is never circular. That’s one of the reasons I personally cut down my international travels significantly. I live in Alaska- one of the most divided place when it comes to “climate change”. Some tourism companies here don’t even want to mention it to the tourists because it’s become such a stupid dividing political subject. Meanwhile, indigenous living in the coastal AK are dealing with the consequences greatly. No matter what we call it or not, it’s going to bite us on a**.

Tourism, like any other industry, is primarily driven by profitability, often overlooking the environmental and social costs borne by local communities. To ensure sustainable tourism and achieve net-zero impact, we must implement a robust framework of checks and balances, as well as standard operating procedures (SOPs). These measures will guide and compel everyone involved in tourism to act responsibly, safeguarding both the environment and the well-being of the communities they impact.

The majority of the carbon footprint from tourists comes from flying to these faraway places, so, even if these tourist destinations were "green", it would affect the overall carbon footprint little. We really need to add a carbon tax to fossil fuel travel and make that tax progressively ramp up the more a person travels. I don't agree with the hotel manager that he shouldn't burden guests from sustainability. Guests, good ones, would even score a hotel higher for being environmentally conscious.

More excellence from DW. I'm in "Silicon Valley" which like the rest of the US has a very large "internal third world" with a then veneer of wealth. I make less than $20k a year, get around by bicycle, do my own cooking etc., in other words, while not perfect I think I do a fairly good job of being "ecological" and I still feel bad about the fact that I will take one final plane flight back to where I grew up because it is my home and I want my last years to be spent in my actual home. I've even looked up perhaps taking a cruise and "jumping ship" when it touches on my home port (less ecological than flying on a plane) or hitching a ride on a cargo ship (that's not really a thing any more) even buying a sailboat and sailing on my own back home isn't as "green" so there I'll be, hopping on a plane. I think tourism is a great idea but now with the internet it's possible to see so much of the world anyway, people can set up cams etc., plus, why not work on making your own area better? I know once I'm back home I plan to take part in what "ecological" activities I can and to do things to improve the place.

Travelling the world is one of my favourite things to do and where possible I try not to fly but putting things into context is important. Flying produces about 2.5% of total CO2 emissions and of that a relatively small number of people (super rich etc) account for a huge percentage of those emissions. People should absolutely be conscious of flying and its environmental costs but making bigger pushes to decarbonise energy production, big industry and food production etc has the potential for far bigger changes.

When 2 years is not enough for restoration, then the next climate extreme may end the whole business. Ie. In California there have been places where houses has been burned down 3 times in a row and no insurances are given. Similar situation is in parts of Florida, where "sunny day" floods have ruined entire city blocks and people has no money to move out, because none will buy their house. It is also similiar to coral bleeching events. One harms the reef, next takes out plenty and third one says there is no reef. There is very little to do with these events. You may still relocate yourself, but when that happens to billions, then all available locations are already taken.

It doesn't matter what part of the world people go to when the world is so overpopulated. China = overpopulated, India = overpopulated, USA = overpopulated, most African countries = overpopulated, UK = overpopulated. Maybe fix that first and these other symptoms of that problem might subside. The birth rates are just too high.

@@KZfaqCensorsEverything neither one of the countries that you mentioned has high birthrates, with the exception of Africa and the middle east, no other place in the world has birthrates above 2.1 children per woman, so almost every country will see the population decline in the next decades, the only reason why that is still not visible is because life expectancy keeps increasing, so people take longer to die, but even that is going in reverse in some countries now. Your rant made sense 50 years ago, now it is the other way around.

Human being (surely, I'm one of them) seems can never be satisfied ... When I live in a big city and I am admiring the lives in small villiage, I wonder why the people live in a quiet small villiage would like to develop their homeland to be a tourist spot. I really pray to God and wonder if I were very rich, would I still earn money without caring the earth... if I were a farmer, would I still want my place become a tourist spot? God said he will only give the most suitable trial to us, maybe he really knows I am a very greedy person
