But is it doing enough?

"Wir müssen uns nicht um jedes gesellschaftliche Thema kümmern" - sagt der Touristiker.

Als da wären:

#Overtourism
#Wohnraummangel
#Wasserknappheit
#Naturschutz
#Arbeitskräftemangel
#Arbeitsbedingungen
#Mobilität
#Flächenverbrauch
#SozialeUngleichheit
#Abhängigkeit vom #Tourismus
#Lebensqualität der Einheimischen

Ist zwar alles irgendwie Grundlage des eigenen Geschäftsmodells - #Tirol
Aber was weiß ich schon.

#Japanese officials want ‘selfish’ #MountFuji #climbers to pay for #offseason #rescue
"There have been cases when people have casually made requests to be rescued via mobile phone, as if they were ordering a #taxi.. Other countries require climbers to have #insurance & they charge anyone tt they have to rescue.. #Emergency #services had to be activated to help injured #hikers #everyday during the #climbingseason"
Looks like #tyranny of the #illbred minority.🤔

🧵I propose the tax income could subsidise housing for Spaniards who can't compete for accommodation with wealthy foreigners. Plus it will reduce the total volume of tourists by cutting the bottom of the barrel, low-profit, all-day-breakfast, €2 a pint, vomit on the pavement kind of tourists that nobody wants. Those tourists will find somewhere else to get legless at lunchtime.

The case of the Bellingen's scenic swimming hole
Bellingen just smashed in a "$5.2M “gate way to the Promised Land” so that mass tourism can speed along the new 'highway' (Gleniffer Road) to the Never Never Creek. It is the town's main 'tourist destination' (but has no public toilet).

In January the Promised Land swimming hole near Bellingen recorded faecal contamination of water. "Council advised swimmers to stay out of the Never Never River.” Humans and dogs were blamed for the faecal matter. "It has been very popular over the holiday period and there are certainly indications that people have been using the riparian area there along the banks for toileting purposes”
