Thank you!

As someone who studies tourism, this was so well executed and easy to understand! Excellent!

I am looking at this issue from a housing perspective. It seems that our politicians simply think that more and more tourism is an inherently good thing and they have no concern about those of us who live in residential apartment buildings (that we own). To many residents now have to put up with tourists looking for a cheap holiday in our home (literally) and coming in an out. Its destroying the neighborhood. It is often the case that they dont even realise they are in a residential building. Airbnb has been a disaster and now there are dozens of platforms and agents cashing in. The new management model must surely put 'stop taking housing from locals' as the first principle. The licensed regulated tourist accommodation sector does at least create real jobs even if they are still working on a linear model. Thanks for your perspective and for sharing.

As someone who has worked in the Hospitality & Tourism Industry and is passionate about Sustainable Tourism, I really feel what he is saying. It may not be wonderful to hear, but our footprints are really messing up countries and cities. Lots of his points are things which I personally think about, specially on new projects. Because our countries are vulnerable. We need the tourism, at the same time we are seeing the off balance lifestyle and prices which we are creating in our little local Islands in Maldives. Our whole population is less than 1/2 a Million and we get more than Million tourists. Yes it gives us the money, but but our coral reefs, ocean, beaches and marine life are paying the price for it. Locals are loosing their culture and heritage, locals are pushed to a side, always making way for the tourists. We need to balance it. It’s important to survive in the long run

[@canarygreen]

Sustainable tourism is what we're trying to achieve on Canary Islands. We think it's important to protect local environment and educate people on how to reduce their footprint while travelling.

[@ifigeniagaritac.8647]

Excellent way to set it up, it brings me hope. We need your help here is the Osa Peninsula!

[@DeepFreeze172]

Amazing presentation! I always love hearing ideas on how we can better our future!

[@carolyns.672]

I disagree with about half of his statements. People do not travel without purpose - maybe not a purpose he likes, but with a purpose none the less. Whether it is to to take a week away to unwind from work, or entertain your children for an afternoon, there is always a purpose. No one spends money on something they don't have a purpose for. No one shows up at the airport, buys a random ticket to a location and lands and thinks what am I doing here? I agree that we must protect natural destinations (like the Wave in the video) and sacred Indigenous locations (Ayers Rock in Australia for instance), but if you are on a budget and the main attraction for your tourism travel is on a lottery basis that you likely won't get a ticket for, you likely won't go there. When talking about "that place in Orlando" he is obviously speaking about Disney. Unless the entire world goes broke, Disney will continue to make money even if they put a 50% cap on capacity - they continue to hike prices so the capacities don't matter. The rich want to say they stayed at one of the best hotels in WDW and were able to do this that and the other thing while there. They will pay for it. And the middle class and lower class can no longer afford to visit. A lot of his comments were focused on people who can afford any type of travel, like going to Palau! Who can afford to go to Palau??? Only the rich! I bet the majority of Americans have never even heard of Palau or would know why they would travel there - it's the scuba diving.

Fantastic speech well presentation sir.explainted well

[@limbodog]

The Silent Aircraft initiative was conducted decades ago to figure out how to make planes over London quieter. Turns out the very same thing that makes planes quiet also makes them fuel efficient. We *could* be making much more efficient planes, but nobody will buy those planes because they look weird (flying wings with over-wing engines) and very few people would have window seats.

[@Sextaplanta]

Doug does this very well, explaining things as complex as tourism development in a very simple way

[@vitalinapopova2036]

thanks for the interesting presentation !

[@zoeyuhuazuo5083]

Very great insights for future tourism planning, thanks for the great talk Doug!

[@secretsofparis]

Great talk! But how do we return the balance to urban tourism without pricing out budget travelers? (ie reducing the number of people who can visit a popular destination makes the prices go up, so only the rich can afford the flights, hotel rooms and museum visits)

[@carolyns.672]

100% agree with you. His suggestions make tourism a rich privilege and not accessible to anyone else. Although I agree our natural attractions and Indigenous sites must be preserved,

[@Fabianwew]

That's the point though, to extract more revenue from fewer tourists. There's no way to implement that without also increasing total costs.

[@carbonwarrior]

That's the issue that keeps bothering me for quite a while. I've been thinking on solutions to this problem. The only ones that I've came up so far is partly what this guy said: implement a lottery ticket for the already known destinations (everybody gets the same chance) and make people take some pledges of sorts. The more difficult ones are the nice destinations that are not quite discovered yet. How do you stop people from hyping them?

[@vivigoesusa]

I liked the beginning and the end as it correlates with my believes in sustainability but the overconsumption that is suggested in the middle doesn’t make sense in the long run either. That way you are not only going to destroy Tourism but also the planet

[@abeelthakurtravelclips]

When u pursuing the master in tourism it’s worth it believe me

[@mandil.7255]

Having those set and fewer numbers of tourists allowed in one location per year will drive up the prices of those tickets, moving towards having only rich people being able to travel.

[@carolyns.672]

@G Vale It is entirely true. Exclusivity always means a price increase which means only the rich can afford it.

[@keremakyuz1839]

16:30 well I and my girlfriend went to Stockholm from Cologne, just before the coronavirus crisis popped-up, and we flew there with just paying 38 Euros for a round trip for two-person. But of course, we were lucky to find kind of a deal! If we went there by train, also there is no direct trip you need to change to the bus after a point, it cost around 100 to 130 Euros for a 1-way ticket for only one person. So it was not a hard decision to take for us :)

[@DanMartins1206]

I think you miss the point there, but im "glad" you had the opportunity to go there so cheap.

[@carolyns.672]

@@DanMartins1206 I think his point is that in order to make you take the train or bus airfares have to be more costly. Most people are monetarily driven, so if you can take a plane for half of what a train/bus costs, and get there in a quarter of the time, everyone will choose the plane. Where I live in Canada the train is crazy expensive to take - usually double what a flight costs. Most of what the presenter talked about applies to the rich who travel and the choices they are making. No one can afford to go to Palau unless they are rich and are experienced scuba divers. His points on preservation are valid, but they still benefit the rich and marginalize everyone else.

airlines won't go broke if we stop flying. We might need better train connections and less flights, and obviously we continue to fly, but maybe it shouldnt be so freaking cheap to fly to the other side of the world
