Conflicts of a 1.5 trillion dollar tourist industry | Transforming Business

I find that most places is lack signs or government & local business did not facilitated proper tools for tourism. It is like you are welcome to visit and enjoy the places but lack garbage trash can. When I visit to many other county is what I see lack of practice for traveler. It is almost like they only want you to stay dine/drink indoor. As a solo traveler to San Francisco, Japan, Cuba, Hong Kong. I constantly had to look for trash can and it was so full and destroyed. I had to go buy something and ask for used plastic bags to carry all my trash in my backpack while doing site seeing and only dine in during end of days back to hotel if can be separated. When back home at any places I can find trash can be everywhere, with signs and easy to find them. IT is a problems, but it is Tourist city, local business & government did not provide tools for it. I would be happy if they can do that. I used to work in tourism industry where I provide to assist guest or show them if they want to do it themself. They were happily and gladly for this type of services.

Real estate magnates should be prohibited to buy up all the properties just to inflate the price of the market…

Heavily relying on tourist sometimes isn't good because it flare up prices, waste management and crimes etc should be tackle. Its OK to have moderate tourist so that everything is smooth.
Look at Philippines little tourist arrivals but the tourist receipts is higher yet the environments cam breathe as well from pollution and disturbance.

Are these tourists or remote workers?

The problem is the same as always, governments and entrepeneurs, the locals are very clear: they dont like the idea of overtourist visiting and damaging their homes, but the rich only care about money they dont really prevent any harm while they have money

all countries are beautiful in ter own waysand culture...need lot of innovations ...it will be multi trillion dollar industry if innovated correctly.. travelling itself will earn money for people in the future...you have to innovate every country in the world can be travel spots...if you add augmented and vr it may be even more..the future people are very lucky...if no wars happen...

Spain needs expats and tourists to evolve. In terms of infrastiucture and technology, the country is really far behind from the rest of Europe. The government doesnt seem to want to invest in the country's infrastructure. It is usually private investors from overseas who build businesses, buys and renovates properties, and create new jobs. Whoelse is bringing money into the country? It's definitely not the Spanish and the illegal immigrants...

Hard problem to solve , because we cant say to people stop traveling, humans need to see other countries, its a very complex problem

If you can walk, bike or sail there that's a good idea. Or I just realized an app like some kind of eco hitchhiker could also work with some kind of rewards program to businesses to offset carbon credits. I don't know? Just off the top of my head someone figure it out???

Unity, all possible

Those guys need to invest more in their wastewater systems.

People ask for tourism to end. When tourism ends, people will ask tourism to come back…

No

Welcome to the free world

The EU is fully fighting ANY means to make money altogether...; a completely degenerate system...😒

Places that protest tourism, should be respected and everyone in the world stop going there causing tourism going to 0%. The national governments as well should not help make up for lack of funding lost because of this. If the local economy can survive without tourism then problem solved. If not, then locals can suffer the consequences.

Please stop investing in tourism and destroying the country!
Please stop chasing the easy money!
We will face the consequences..

the beaches in Mexico are laden with washed-up algae, clear sign of a contaminated sea.

2024 So much information 🌐 makes me want to stay home 🙂

There's no holding back the tide. The tourism needs to somehow be balanced out in numbers across the places. Perhaps expose much more places to visit.

tourists are polluting too much

Its totally in the controll of the host tourist authorities that how many people they want. They give invitation at first to too many tourists due to their greediness and start complaining after taking their money, when they arrive. Sounds like hypocrisy to me.

Good, they run to our countries but its not easy for us to visit Europe so why should your visit our countries!!! I so agree with Mexico ects

A fluff piece that says nothing new and introduces nothing new.

Too many humans using too many natural resources and producing too much pollution, including the CO2 and waste heat from tourist travel. According to stats from the EU's C3S climate watch, at the current rate of increase in global heat, we may see 2 degC over the 1991-2020 baseline by 2027, 3 degC by 2032, and a 1 degC increase every 5 yrs. thereafter, so 6 deg by 2047, when any child born today may/may not celebrate (?) his/her 23rd BD. He/she will be searching for anywhere to cool down, although with 1.2 trillion tons of global ice already melting annually, 3.3 billion tons/d., a cooling station may be damned hard to find.

Sustainable tourism is go around in your own area and explore the places in your own country

For a more sustainable tourism in the future, local government has to step in, here are some things they could do:
1. CApping tourist number per month/season (for instance, limits the flight/cruise number coming in in advance so tourists don't have to check for the cap themselves)
2. build more sustainable hotels: government should incentive hotels by giving subsidy which are sustainable
3. cancel airbnb
4. improve infrastructure like trash cycling system, green energy, public transportation etc.
5. diversifying income: Use the tourism money to invest other industries, so if another covid comes the city will have much more resilience to overcome it.

Do one on all the Asian’s ruining European sites

I remember going to Hawaii and and my friends there complaining about tourism.

Meanwhile at home my state is one of the top 5 states people are moving to. At least the tourist leave. Here they just keep coming and prices go up and wages dont. Little infrastructure development. I guess its nice to have all these new restaurants and stuff but the deforestation for cardboard houses with no yard space that I can never hope to afford, increased traffic and property taxes sucks.

My friends from there visited here as well several years ago. If they were to see the area now it would be quite different. Hundreds more buildings added since then.

I would never, ever trust a hotel to clean their own wastewater.
And the main problem is Spains incompetent government, not tourists. Just wait til the water runs out...
Their anger is misdirected.

The one thing it didn't touch on clearly is that communities are tired of the tourist market capitalising on their culture without paying into the system or having a responsible government investing or creating policies/programs that benefit the community, and instead you have hotels trying to label their capitalistic colonialism as green sustainablility. These governments to these tourist areas should increase the price and stop the industry from free riding or free loading on the area.

This is more a thriving industry than over tourism. It is failure of government policy to stream money into support of people and infrastructure living at those locations. Calling it overtourism is misleading and people is focusing their energy in the wrong direction. It should not be against tourists themselves, it should be against policy makers.

I say stay home and spend your money locally. Screw them. They cry and complain about tourists but then they will cry and complain their business are failing because there isn't anymore ppl shopping there.

Cancun was literally created for tourism. It was uninhabited in the 70s.

Yall having a stupidest think said competition ⁉️🤣

I watched the whole thing and the worst aspects of tourism were not even mentioned like s*x predators, p*dophiles, exploitation of the poor and much more horrible things tourism brings upon the locals especially in 3rd world countries where people are poor and prone to exploitation.

the Vlog tourists and social media snappers vs spending in restaurants and hotels .cheap travels with some side gains

Ban Airbnb and other short term rental in main citites. Move it to province and build transport/infrastructure there

private investors don't care about investing in infrastructure. they want to reap the fruits of their investment without nurturing it. in some places touruists are already swimming in their own poop at the beach.

I want to take all inclusive vacation for two weeks.

Check out Ethical Traveler

never again in Spain

working 60-80 hours a week in tech so I can take 3 day vacation in Spain, not a spoil at all,
and I find it disturbing we have to extend our current racism hype into tourism as well ... I just want to enjoy my few days of vacation, not to have garbage thrown at me by the locals.

Thanks to "competent" politicians, tourism is becoming the most important economy in Europe. 🤣 It is enough to look at which countries have the highest GDP growth. My advice to Germany: Refocus more on tourism. You have potential, as I have personally seen visiting Germany!🙂

People are confusing tourism and home prices. Tell me a place in Europe and the US where home prices are NOT out of control?

Impose a tourism tax on shops, restaurants, and attractions, and put the money to building more lodging and waste management systems.

Airbnb or Vrbo is the cause of over tourism. They should be banned completely.

I grew up on the OREGON coast , no one like the tourist, but they all benefit from the money .

I am still traveling the world.
I post zero content in social media.
I enjoy and absorb the experience internally.
