(Goodall): Tourism
can kill a place.

00:03:04,217 --> 00:03:06,052
A place that was so beautiful

38
00:03:06,119 --> 00:03:10,523
can become overused,
exploited and trashed.

39
00:03:11,357 --> 00:03:13,960
Most tourism has led
to destruction.

40
00:03:14,027 --> 00:03:16,329
It led to the destruction

of the very things
that they've come to see.

42
00:03:18,531 --> 00:03:20,600

thousands of Brits

engagement in economy.

(speaking foreign language)

50
00:03:36,249 --> 00:03:38,051
- You live with a certain
set of values at home.

51
00:03:38,117 --> 00:03:39,585
Why would you suspend
those values

52
00:03:39,652 --> 00:03:40,787
when you decide
to take a holiday?

00:03:40,853 --> 00:03:42,255
(shouting)

54
00:03:42,321 --> 00:03:43,790
(Rachel): It's a different
set of behaviour principles.

55
00:03:43,856 --> 00:03:46,592
We're hedonistic when we travel.
We tend to have more showers.

56
00:03:46,659 --> 00:03:49,696
We tend to be more wasteful,
we tend to eat more.

57
00:03:49,762 --> 00:03:52,832
(reporter 12): The tourist
industry is a huge cash cow.

58
00:03:52,899 --> 00:03:54,333
But locals don't see
much of that revenue.

59
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:56,069

of the working class

60

61
00:03:58,271 --> 00:04:00,440
(reporter 14): We have people
who say these volunteer trips

62
00:04:00,506 --> 00:04:03,743
abroad are sometimes
only about the photo-ops.

64
00:04:07,113 --> 00:04:09,682

unfortunate state,

at the moment.
(elephant trumpeting)

66
00:04:11,617 --> 00:04:13,886
As tourists, we're just such

67
00:04:13,953 --> 00:04:15,588
unconscious consumers.

68
00:04:17,490 --> 00:04:19,225
(elephant trumpeting)

69
00:04:21,294 --> 00:04:22,662
(gentle music)

70
00:04:24,197 --> 00:04:25,998
(Arnie): Like a lot
of travellers,

71
00:04:26,065 --> 00:04:27,734
I started out as a backpacker.

72
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:28,935
In Africa,

73
00:04:29,001 --> 00:04:31,170
when I travelled to Asia,

74
00:04:31,237 --> 00:04:35,041
late '70s, I was already
starting to see

75
00:04:35,108 --> 00:04:37,076
negative impacts of tourism.

76
00:04:37,143 --> 00:04:40,046
So it set me off looking
for the unspoiled.

77
00:04:40,113 --> 00:04:44,050
The uncharted.
And that eventually led me

78
00:04:44,117 --> 00:04:46,152
to a place called Ko Pha Ngan
in Thailand.

79
00:04:46,219 --> 00:04:49,689
When I arrived in Ko Pha Ngan
in 1979,

80
00:04:49,756 --> 00:04:54,260
I was the first tourist
to have arrived on that beach.

81
00:04:54,327 --> 00:04:56,863
There was one Thai family,
a fisherman, living there.

82
00:04:56,929 --> 00:04:59,832
His name was Sonboom.
And his wife Chom.

83
00:04:59,899 --> 00:05:01,801
And I stayed with them
for three months

84
00:05:01,868 --> 00:05:03,569
and it was magical.

85
00:05:03,636 --> 00:05:06,706
And I made a little map
of that location.

86
00:05:06,773 --> 00:05:10,977
And unfortunately,
I shared that with one person,

87
00:05:11,043 --> 00:05:12,512
who was my girlfriend
at the time,

88
00:05:12,578 --> 00:05:15,047
and that map found
its way to others,

89
00:05:15,114 --> 00:05:17,517
and soon, other tourists
began arriving.

90
00:05:17,984 --> 00:05:20,419
Now, I never went back,
but in 1993,

91
00:05:20,486 --> 00:05:22,922
I opened a
New York Times magazine

92
00:05:22,989 --> 00:05:25,024
and I was stunned.

93
00:05:25,825 --> 00:05:27,460
I saw a photograph
of the beach

94
00:05:27,527 --> 00:05:30,029
with thousands
and thousands of people

95
00:05:30,096 --> 00:05:32,965
celebrating something called
the Full Moon party.

96
00:05:33,032 --> 00:05:34,333
It was out of control.

97
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:36,836
Masses of trash.

98
00:05:36,903 --> 00:05:39,172
Out of control development.

99
00:05:40,239 --> 00:05:42,675
It ripped... ripped me apart
from inside.

100
00:05:42,742 --> 00:05:47,079
To think that from the time
I had arrived there in 1979,

101
00:05:47,146 --> 00:05:50,850
within a period of ten years,
this place was being

102
00:05:50,917 --> 00:05:53,219
utterly and totally destroyed.

103
00:05:53,286 --> 00:05:56,622
(indistinct chattering)

104
00:05:56,689 --> 00:05:59,625
(party music playing)

105
00:06:06,199 --> 00:06:07,800
We have got to get
tourism right,

106
00:06:07,867 --> 00:06:09,335
because if we don't,

107
00:06:09,402 --> 00:06:13,606
we're going to see Ko Pha Ngan
reproduced around the world.

108

- One hour?

112
00:06:34,460 --> 00:06:35,328
- Yeah.

113
00:06:38,130 --> 00:06:39,799
(laughing)

114
00:06:41,434 --> 00:06:42,435
- Wow.

115
00:06:51,110 --> 00:06:53,779

116
00:06:58,184 --> 00:07:01,654

(inspirational music)

122
00:08:54,033 --> 00:08:56,669
(Bruce): We are born explorers.

123
00:08:57,770 --> 00:09:00,706
We have a carnal desire

124
00:09:00,773 --> 00:09:02,408
to want to travel.

125
00:09:03,576 --> 00:09:05,277
You know, people dream
about travel.

126
00:09:05,344 --> 00:09:06,645
Our ancestors
were all explorers.

127
00:09:06,712 --> 00:09:08,481
People risked their lives
to travel, originally.

128
00:09:09,648 --> 00:09:11,384
(Goodall): Travel opens
our eyes, and we learn

129
00:09:11,450 --> 00:09:13,019
so much about the world

130
00:09:13,085 --> 00:09:14,420
and about ourselves.

131
00:09:15,454 --> 00:09:18,724
(man): Travel. It's a sense
of our innate curiosity.

132
00:09:19,759 --> 00:09:21,327
(gentle music)

133
00:09:22,294 --> 00:09:25,164
We're driven by a desire

134
00:09:25,231 --> 00:09:27,366
to experience and to learn.

135
00:09:38,878 --> 00:09:40,679
(indistinct chattering)

136
00:09:50,122 --> 00:09:51,791
(Bruce): We were born
to explore.

137
00:09:51,857 --> 00:09:53,359
We were born to want

138
00:09:53,426 --> 00:09:55,861
to seek out new experiences.

139
00:09:56,328 --> 00:09:57,763
Learn from other cultures.

140
00:09:59,665 --> 00:10:02,301
And somewhere along the way,

141
00:10:02,368 --> 00:10:03,436
you become a tourist.

142
00:10:04,236 --> 00:10:06,906
You become someone
who is disconnected

143
00:10:06,972 --> 00:10:09,775
from the very place
you're travelling to.

144
00:10:10,509 --> 00:10:12,378
(advertiser): This is
the way to travel.

145
00:10:14,246 --> 00:10:16,449
Relax and enjoy yourself.

146
00:10:18,451 --> 00:10:20,386
Yes, this is the way to travel.

147
00:10:20,886 --> 00:10:24,323
- Back in the 1950s,
when world tourism,

148
00:10:24,390 --> 00:10:26,726
mass tourism was just beginning,
the first jets

149
00:10:26,792 --> 00:10:28,761
were crossing
the Atlantic ocean,

150
00:10:28,828 --> 00:10:32,865
there were 25 million
international trips a year.

151
00:10:34,100 --> 00:10:37,336
Last year, that number
was 1.3 billion.

152
00:10:40,139 --> 00:10:42,508
That's a multiplication
of 52 times.

153
00:10:43,175 --> 00:10:45,010
(energetic music)

154
00:10:46,712 --> 00:10:48,781
(reporter): The jumbos
are coming.

155
00:10:48,848 --> 00:10:50,916
Heathrow airport took
the arrival of the world's

156
00:10:50,983 --> 00:10:53,152
first fully loaded
jumbo-jet aircraft,

157
00:10:53,219 --> 00:10:56,455
which will revolutionize
the future of civil aviation.

158
00:10:56,522 --> 00:10:57,890
Captain Jess Tranter
and his crew

159
00:10:57,957 --> 00:10:59,592
brought the first jumbo
from the States

160
00:10:59,658 --> 00:11:01,127
in just over
six-and-a-half hours.

161
00:11:01,193 --> 00:11:06,265
(Gary): With the advent
of mass air travel in the 1960s,

162
00:11:06,332 --> 00:11:08,934
747, when it was inaugurated,

163
00:11:09,001 --> 00:11:12,438
was three times bigger
than any public airplane before,

164
00:11:12,505 --> 00:11:14,406
so we've gone through a journey

165
00:11:14,473 --> 00:11:16,075
of global mass travel.

166
00:11:17,510 --> 00:11:18,811
Today, with technology,

167
00:11:18,878 --> 00:11:21,981
you can find ways
to get to pretty much

168
00:11:22,047 --> 00:11:23,916
any part of the world, now.

169
00:11:25,050 --> 00:11:27,853
The world has become
an oyster for the masses.

170
00:11:29,321 --> 00:11:31,924
(engines roaring)

171
00:11:31,991 --> 00:11:33,492
(Arnie): Over-tourism is

172
00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:34,794
simply too many people

173
00:11:34,860 --> 00:11:37,329
in the same place
at the same time.

174
00:11:37,396 --> 00:11:39,098
The increase in visitors
to the point

175
00:11:39,165 --> 00:11:40,833
where it is too much

176
00:11:40,900 --> 00:11:42,768
for the landscape
and the environment.

177
00:11:42,835 --> 00:11:45,404
It's too much for
the local residents.

178
00:11:45,471 --> 00:11:46,939
So, you're seeing examples of it

179
00:11:47,006 --> 00:11:48,674
in what are sometimes called
"honeypot destinations."

180
00:11:48,741 --> 00:11:51,710
They're places that people
just really want to go.

181
00:11:51,777 --> 00:11:54,146
(Rachel): Places that
used to be protected

182
00:11:54,213 --> 00:11:55,748
are becoming more accessible.

183
00:11:55,814 --> 00:11:57,750
- Places that are really
being loved to death.

184
00:11:57,817 --> 00:12:00,553
We're having an infinitely
growing number of tourists

185
00:12:00,619 --> 00:12:02,021
going to finite places

186
00:12:02,087 --> 00:12:05,024
that are exactly the same size
they were back in 1950.

187
00:12:05,090 --> 00:12:08,561
- It's this fascinating history,
because it has

188
00:12:08,627 --> 00:12:12,431
everything to do with
what was a great success:

189
00:12:12,498 --> 00:12:13,799
the end of the Cold War.

190
00:12:13,866 --> 00:12:15,868
Literally half of the world
had been cut off

191
00:12:15,935 --> 00:12:17,736
from the other half
during the Cold War.

192
00:12:17,803 --> 00:12:20,372
One of the first things
the end of the Cold War did

193
00:12:20,439 --> 00:12:23,175
was open borders
around the world,

194
00:12:23,242 --> 00:12:26,545
and with those open borders,
trade.

195
00:12:26,612 --> 00:12:28,848
Around the globe,
you saw the growth

196
00:12:28,914 --> 00:12:29,982
of the middle-class.

197
00:12:30,049 --> 00:12:33,185
All of this within
literally about a decade.

198
00:12:33,252 --> 00:12:34,820
This is astonishing.

199
00:12:34,887 --> 00:12:36,689
(Rachel): We have emerging
markets such as China and India

200
00:12:36,755 --> 00:12:38,457
coming onto the scene,
in terms of

201
00:12:38,524 --> 00:12:39,858
the affordability of travel.

202
00:12:39,925 --> 00:12:42,228
(Elizabeth): Simultaneously,
we had a great

203
00:12:42,294 --> 00:12:44,563
technological leap,
the Internet.

204
00:12:44,630 --> 00:12:47,800
Tourism is not an elite
hobby anymore.

205
00:12:47,866 --> 00:12:50,569
Tourism has become
a global industry.

206
00:12:50,636 --> 00:12:53,872
(Arnie): This industry is
covering our entire planet.

207
00:12:53,939 --> 00:12:56,275
Eighty percent
of the world's countries

208
00:12:56,342 --> 00:13:00,012
count tourism in their top five
foreign exchange revenues.

209
00:13:00,746 --> 00:13:02,881
One out of ten jobs
in the planet

210
00:13:02,948 --> 00:13:06,352
is connected to the travel
and tourism industry.

211
00:13:06,418 --> 00:13:08,220
- There's more travellers,

212
00:13:08,287 --> 00:13:10,022
it's easier and cheaper
to travel,

213
00:13:10,089 --> 00:13:12,524
and the way we experience,
and our expectations

214
00:13:12,591 --> 00:13:14,193
for what we want when we travel

215
00:13:14,260 --> 00:13:15,728
have changed.

216
00:13:19,531 --> 00:13:22,534
(insects chirping)

217
00:13:30,075 --> 00:13:32,144
(wind howling gently)

218
00:13:48,460 --> 00:13:50,596
(birds chirping)

219
00:13:55,301 --> 00:13:59,104
(indistinct chattering)

220
00:13:59,171 --> 00:14:01,874
(gentle music)

221
00:14:15,587 --> 00:14:16,488
(camera clicking)

222
00:14:16,555 --> 00:14:18,791
(cameras clicking)

223
00:14:26,532 --> 00:14:28,500
(Rachel): The advent
of social media

224
00:14:28,567 --> 00:14:30,636
has completely changed
the way we travel.

225
00:14:31,670 --> 00:14:32,972
We're going after a photograph

226
00:14:33,038 --> 00:14:34,773
rather than actually truly
having experience.

227
00:14:36,041 --> 00:14:37,843
(Bruce): Holidays are
a status symbol.

228
00:14:37,910 --> 00:14:40,579
You work hard and you earn
that vacation with your family

229
00:14:40,646 --> 00:14:42,281
once a year.

230
00:14:42,348 --> 00:14:43,215
It's status.

231
00:14:46,518 --> 00:14:48,520
(gentle music)

232
00:14:49,288 --> 00:14:52,091
- Twenty-nine percent
of millennial travellers

233
00:14:52,157 --> 00:14:54,526
said they wouldn't go
to a destination

234
00:14:54,593 --> 00:14:56,662
if they couldn't post
about it on Instagram.

235
00:14:56,729 --> 00:14:59,665
(indistinct chattering)

236
00:15:02,568 --> 00:15:06,038
(cameras clicking)

237
00:15:12,711 --> 00:15:14,146
(gentle music)

238
00:15:16,181 --> 00:15:18,517
People see their friends

239
00:15:18,584 --> 00:15:20,686
who have taken a picture
of themselves

240
00:15:20,753 --> 00:15:22,654
in a beautiful spot,
and it spreads,

241
00:15:22,721 --> 00:15:23,989
and it goes viral
and then everybody

242
00:15:24,056 --> 00:15:26,725
wants to go to that same
beautiful spot.

243
00:15:26,792 --> 00:15:30,829
- Social media's become
the ultimate tasting menu.

244
00:15:30,896 --> 00:15:32,765
(Arnie): Some of
the most isolated

245
00:15:32,831 --> 00:15:35,200
and fragile areas are now

246
00:15:35,267 --> 00:15:37,536
getting inundated with people
who just simply

247
00:15:37,603 --> 00:15:38,971
really want to say,

248
00:15:39,037 --> 00:15:40,172
"I was here."

249
00:15:41,273 --> 00:15:43,342
(Rachel): Is that
our tourism industry?

250
00:15:44,109 --> 00:15:46,779
Are we just travelling
for the iconic photo?

251
00:15:47,713 --> 00:15:49,782
Or are we really trying
to truly change

252
00:15:49,848 --> 00:15:51,917
the way that we learn,
and gain,

253
00:15:51,984 --> 00:15:55,020
and benefit, and become
enriched from travel?

254
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:10,068
(indistinct chattering)

255
00:16:17,609 --> 00:16:19,812
(birds chirping)

256
00:16:26,385 --> 00:16:28,020
(speaking foreign language)

257
00:17:14,500 --> 00:17:17,836
(deep rumbling)

258
00:17:25,711 --> 00:17:27,913
(cheering)

259
00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:37,222
(rhythmic music)

260
00:17:42,561 --> 00:17:43,595
(brakes squealing)

261
00:17:43,662 --> 00:17:46,732
(gulls squawking)

262
00:17:48,433 --> 00:17:51,503
(indistinct chattering)

263
00:17:51,570 --> 00:17:54,239
(engine roaring)

264
00:18:00,879 --> 00:18:02,481
(woman): Right now,

265
00:18:02,548 --> 00:18:04,850
two cruise ships are there,
and I can't believe

266
00:18:04,917 --> 00:18:06,652
nothing is out here,

267
00:18:06,718 --> 00:18:08,253
it's just as dry as you see it.

268
00:18:10,022 --> 00:18:11,690
And it's not only today,

269
00:18:11,757 --> 00:18:13,492
it's always,
for a good while, now.

270
00:18:13,559 --> 00:18:15,260
It's about five years now

271
00:18:15,327 --> 00:18:17,329
we have no season,
and the cruise ships

272
00:18:17,396 --> 00:18:20,132
come in always,
and nothing for the locals.

273
00:18:20,198 --> 00:18:23,135
So I keep on wondering
what is going on for us.

274
00:18:24,336 --> 00:18:27,239
- Over two months I have not
made a sale at my store.

275
00:18:27,306 --> 00:18:28,774
My rent is just piling up

276
00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:30,742
and I can't make no money.

277
00:18:31,677 --> 00:18:34,179
- We are not benefiting
from tourism.

278
00:18:34,246 --> 00:18:36,582
Tourist, we don't
get from the cruise ships,

279
00:18:36,648 --> 00:18:38,483
they're coming to Montego Bay.

280
00:18:42,154 --> 00:18:46,191
(jazz music)

281
00:18:48,894 --> 00:18:52,397
(excited shouting, cheering)

282
00:19:17,990 --> 00:19:20,359
(advertiser): Embrace the sun
on the largest racetrack

283
00:19:20,425 --> 00:19:23,562
at sea, zooming past
Alaska's glaciers.

284
00:19:23,629 --> 00:19:25,530
Or pristine Caribbean beaches.

285
00:19:27,065 --> 00:19:29,501
- You know,
when you find yourself,

286
00:19:29,568 --> 00:19:32,137
on a go-kart track
on a cruise ship

287
00:19:32,204 --> 00:19:35,474
in the middle of an ocean
and they've sold it to you,

288
00:19:35,540 --> 00:19:38,477
at some point you got to think,
"This is kinda weird."

289
00:19:38,543 --> 00:19:40,912
(upbeat music)

290
00:19:43,815 --> 00:19:46,051
- The cruise ship business model
it to basically

291
00:19:46,118 --> 00:19:47,486
keep the money,
not surprisingly,

292
00:19:47,552 --> 00:19:49,021
flowing back to the ship.

293
00:19:51,390 --> 00:19:53,358
(dinging)

294
00:19:57,229 --> 00:19:58,897
- There's seminars
on how to go shopping.

295
00:20:00,732 --> 00:20:03,402
To fulfil your diamond wardrobe.

296
00:20:05,237 --> 00:20:06,838
(Bruce): Making sure
you have a thread count

297
00:20:06,905 --> 00:20:08,974
in your bed sheets,
and you have amenities

298
00:20:09,041 --> 00:20:10,642
in your bathroom,
and you have five swimming pools

299
00:20:10,709 --> 00:20:11,643
and six restaurants
to choose from,

300
00:20:11,710 --> 00:20:13,111
and you can be in the Caribbean,

301
00:20:13,178 --> 00:20:14,546
make sure you still get
Italian food.

302
00:20:16,248 --> 00:20:18,717
Maybe we should just
think of another word for it,

303
00:20:18,784 --> 00:20:21,153
'cause it's not travel anymore,

304
00:20:21,219 --> 00:20:23,255
'cause you're being transplanted
from one Western environment

305
00:20:23,321 --> 00:20:24,656
to another Western environment.

306
00:20:24,723 --> 00:20:27,626
So let's just call it
a transfer of environments.

307
00:20:28,393 --> 00:20:31,129
(Martha): Most of the tours
that they take onshore

308
00:20:31,196 --> 00:20:32,898
are sold actually on the ship,

309
00:20:32,964 --> 00:20:34,499
and the ship takes
a hefty commission.

310
00:20:34,566 --> 00:20:36,001
A tour costs 80 dollars,

311
00:20:36,068 --> 00:20:39,604
40 dollars of that goes back
to the ship as a commission.

312
00:20:39,671 --> 00:20:40,906
In addition to that,

313
00:20:40,972 --> 00:20:43,208
there are designated
shops and restaurants

314
00:20:43,275 --> 00:20:45,177
on shore that the cruise lines

315
00:20:45,243 --> 00:20:47,746
have done arrangements with,
so every time you shop

316
00:20:47,813 --> 00:20:49,147
at one of those stores,

317
00:20:49,214 --> 00:20:50,982
the cruise lines
get a commission.

318
00:20:55,887 --> 00:20:57,556
(Elizabeth): You arrive,
you're given

319
00:20:57,622 --> 00:21:01,259
a little map of where
you're supposed to shop

320
00:21:01,326 --> 00:21:03,929
and warned not to shop
anywhere else,

321
00:21:03,995 --> 00:21:05,764
because you can't trust
the locals.

322
00:21:05,831 --> 00:21:07,632
(pop music on speakers)

323
00:21:11,503 --> 00:21:14,439
(indistinct chattering)

324
00:21:22,347 --> 00:21:25,684
It's the exact opposite
of a real experience.

325
00:21:27,319 --> 00:21:29,788
- The reality is that
there have been

326
00:21:29,855 --> 00:21:31,490
surveys of visitors,

327
00:21:31,556 --> 00:21:34,392
and when you look at,
"How important is it

328
00:21:34,459 --> 00:21:39,197
that a particular resort
or tour operator

329
00:21:39,264 --> 00:21:41,333
is keeping locals in mind?"

330
00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:42,934
It's actually

331
00:21:43,001 --> 00:21:46,238
ten percent that consider that.

332
00:21:48,874 --> 00:21:51,042
(Bruce): Travel has taken a turn

333
00:21:51,109 --> 00:21:54,012
and the destination
is no longer relevant.

334
00:21:56,581 --> 00:21:57,883
I was born in Trinidad,

335
00:21:57,949 --> 00:21:59,251
I can speak firsthand,

336
00:21:59,317 --> 00:22:01,653
there's a tension that's built
between local people

337
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:02,854
and the tourist,

338
00:22:02,921 --> 00:22:04,256
and that tension is being used

339
00:22:04,322 --> 00:22:06,491
by the tour operators
to build compound walls.

340
00:22:08,293 --> 00:22:10,762
Pushing more and more people
into isolation

341
00:22:10,829 --> 00:22:12,831
because they're saying,
"Don't leave these walls,

342
00:22:12,898 --> 00:22:14,366
because the natives
are restless."

343
00:22:15,834 --> 00:22:18,003
Because they are restless,
because they're not benefiting

344
00:22:18,069 --> 00:22:20,138
from the fact that
you're living in luxury,

345
00:22:20,205 --> 00:22:21,606
consuming mass amounts
of resources,

346
00:22:21,673 --> 00:22:23,408
but outside of those walls
there's not access

347
00:22:23,475 --> 00:22:26,611
to medical care
or clean drinking water.

348
00:22:27,712 --> 00:22:28,814
Traditionally,

349
00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:31,116
tourism has been
a one-way conversation.

350
00:22:34,886 --> 00:22:36,421
(gentle music)

351
00:22:37,355 --> 00:22:39,925
(Elizabeth): The people
who change your bed,

352
00:22:39,991 --> 00:22:42,027
clean your room,
wait on your table,

353
00:22:42,093 --> 00:22:44,996
their wages are not
very good at all.

354
00:22:45,564 --> 00:22:49,734
So you have a very
wealthy industry that...

355
00:22:50,602 --> 00:22:52,103
...pays very low.

356
00:22:52,170 --> 00:22:55,207
Fifty dollars a month
for a waiter.

357
00:22:56,141 --> 00:22:57,542
- On the one hand,
travel has been

358
00:22:57,609 --> 00:23:00,111
the source of money,
and on the other one,

359
00:23:00,178 --> 00:23:02,047
work has been the source
of profit,

360
00:23:02,113 --> 00:23:04,049
and that you just
treat them like objects

361
00:23:04,115 --> 00:23:05,584
being exploited.

362
00:23:20,198 --> 00:23:21,900
(distant excited screaming)

363
00:23:21,967 --> 00:23:24,002
- All-inclusive travel packages

364
00:23:24,069 --> 00:23:26,438
deny host communities.

365
00:23:26,504 --> 00:23:28,373
They don't just deny
them revenue,

366
00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:30,208
they deny them even
the richness

367
00:23:30,275 --> 00:23:32,744
of integration with travellers.

368
00:23:36,114 --> 00:23:38,650
(gulls squawking)

369
00:23:38,717 --> 00:23:41,519
(upbeat party music)

370
00:23:49,327 --> 00:23:51,363
(woman singing in Spanish)

371
00:23:51,997 --> 00:23:53,298
How will tourism

372
00:23:53,365 --> 00:23:55,901
connect cultures
when we have

373
00:23:55,967 --> 00:23:58,370
all-inclusive packages
that keep you

374
00:23:58,436 --> 00:24:00,639
in your hotel in one place?

375
00:24:01,706 --> 00:24:03,375
(indistinct chattering)

376
00:24:16,354 --> 00:24:19,090
Indeed, tourism can be

377
00:24:19,157 --> 00:24:20,558
a great distributor of wealth...

378
00:24:21,927 --> 00:24:23,762
Only if we manage

379
00:24:23,828 --> 00:24:26,031
the distribution of the revenue

380
00:24:26,097 --> 00:24:27,933
that comes from tourism.

381
00:24:27,999 --> 00:24:29,301
If we don't do that,

382
00:24:29,367 --> 00:24:31,436
tourism will not contribute

383
00:24:31,503 --> 00:24:33,638
to development in destinations.

384
00:24:43,682 --> 00:24:45,784
(flamingos squawking)

385
00:24:45,850 --> 00:24:49,321
(rhythmic music)

386
00:25:02,067 --> 00:25:03,234
I'll use a typical

387
00:25:03,301 --> 00:25:05,236
Kenyan example.

388
00:25:07,205 --> 00:25:09,140
You're going to Maasai Mara
in Kenya.

389
00:25:09,207 --> 00:25:10,442
If my trip costs

390
00:25:10,508 --> 00:25:13,445
5000 $, I book a whole package,

391
00:25:13,511 --> 00:25:16,848
how much of that 5000
ends up

392
00:25:16,915 --> 00:25:18,283
in Maasai Mara

393
00:25:18,350 --> 00:25:20,485
where you lodge,
it's located,

394
00:25:20,552 --> 00:25:23,021
and where you will
enjoy your safari?

395
00:25:23,088 --> 00:25:24,656
(all singing)

396
00:25:27,225 --> 00:25:29,728
- In a case like Kenya,
only 14 percent

397
00:25:29,794 --> 00:25:31,296
of every dollar that's spent
in the country,

398
00:25:31,363 --> 00:25:32,497
stays in the country.

399
00:25:32,564 --> 00:25:35,333
The other 86 percent
leaves the country

400
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:38,203
in terms of foreign ownership
by hotels, or airlines,

401
00:25:38,269 --> 00:25:39,804
or transportation,
in terms of food

402
00:25:39,871 --> 00:25:41,740
that needs to be brought in
from somewhere else.

403
00:25:41,806 --> 00:25:43,475
Anything that the country
does not keep

404
00:25:43,541 --> 00:25:45,744
in their local pocket
is called leakage.

405
00:25:47,979 --> 00:25:50,615
(rhythmic music)

406
00:25:58,023 --> 00:26:00,191
(Elizabeth): What has been
the case in Cambodia

407
00:26:00,258 --> 00:26:03,528
and in other countries too
is that a lot

408
00:26:03,595 --> 00:26:05,430
of the foreign hotel chains
will simply

409
00:26:05,497 --> 00:26:07,332
build their hotels,

410
00:26:07,399 --> 00:26:08,466
import the food,

411
00:26:08,533 --> 00:26:10,802
import all kinds of things,

412
00:26:10,869 --> 00:26:14,305
and take up that space
so the locals aren't doing it.

413
00:26:14,372 --> 00:26:16,875
So that you are changing

414
00:26:16,941 --> 00:26:19,044
what that city or place is

415
00:26:19,110 --> 00:26:21,112
by making it foreign
and not local.

416
00:26:21,179 --> 00:26:22,981
You're depriving the locals

417
00:26:23,048 --> 00:26:24,749
of a lot of economic space

418
00:26:24,816 --> 00:26:26,851
and cultural space.

419
00:26:27,652 --> 00:26:30,789
Most of the money goes
to international companies.

420
00:26:35,126 --> 00:26:36,327
(elephant trumpeting)

421
00:26:39,164 --> 00:26:40,598
(growling)

422
00:26:43,068 --> 00:26:44,669
(chanting)

423
00:26:49,874 --> 00:26:52,744
- Tourism has created
consumption patterns...

424
00:26:54,612 --> 00:26:56,815
...in the minds of the traveller

425
00:26:56,881 --> 00:26:59,784
that need to be deconstructed
a little bit.

426
00:26:59,851 --> 00:27:04,322
We have to change our mindsets
about travel.

427
00:27:11,096 --> 00:27:12,363
- If you're going to Africa,

428
00:27:12,430 --> 00:27:14,766
especially with the rise
of luxury travel,

429
00:27:14,833 --> 00:27:19,170
to go into a luxury lodge
and have gourmet meals,

430
00:27:19,237 --> 00:27:21,639
and sit in
your air conditioning,

431
00:27:21,706 --> 00:27:23,775
and then in your ride in
from the airport,

432
00:27:23,842 --> 00:27:25,910
you may have seen
living conditions

433
00:27:25,977 --> 00:27:29,614
which really can be
quite devastating...

434
00:27:33,518 --> 00:27:34,986
And this is absolutely

435
00:27:35,053 --> 00:27:36,788
a bubble that you're in.

436
00:27:39,457 --> 00:27:40,925
- The leakage is huge.

437
00:27:42,127 --> 00:27:44,996
Tourism can perpetuate poverty

438
00:27:45,063 --> 00:27:48,466
by not integrating communities,
and you find,

439
00:27:48,533 --> 00:27:51,569
unfortunately,
for some destinations,

440
00:27:51,636 --> 00:27:55,206
the most acclaimed tourism
destinations

441
00:27:55,273 --> 00:27:57,542
also have the highest
levels of poverty.

442
00:27:57,609 --> 00:28:00,545
But why does it happen?
Because they were never

443
00:28:00,612 --> 00:28:03,648
integrated into the tourism
value chain.

444
00:28:06,417 --> 00:28:09,587
(indistinct chattering)

445
00:28:37,248 --> 00:28:39,951
(gentle music)

446
00:28:44,522 --> 00:28:47,959
We talk about tourism
creating jobs

447
00:28:48,026 --> 00:28:49,294
in destinations.

448
00:28:50,061 --> 00:28:52,063
But we never question
what kind of jobs.

449
00:28:52,130 --> 00:28:54,799
(indistinct chattering)

450
00:28:57,602 --> 00:28:59,637
- One dollar for one.

451
00:29:00,805 --> 00:29:02,373
(children's chatter overlapping)

452
00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:03,541
- Please, one dollar.

453
00:29:03,608 --> 00:29:05,677
- One dollar. Yeah, one dollar.

454
00:29:07,478 --> 00:29:09,514
(gentle music)

455
00:29:13,218 --> 00:29:15,853
- It's important
to pay attention

456
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:20,291
to how tourism impacts
the developing world

457
00:29:20,358 --> 00:29:22,360
because of the vulnerability

458
00:29:22,427 --> 00:29:24,229
of the populations that live

459
00:29:24,295 --> 00:29:26,097
in tourism destinations.

460
00:29:26,164 --> 00:29:28,299
This is unlike the west, right?

461
00:29:28,366 --> 00:29:29,968
Where tourism still happens,

462
00:29:30,034 --> 00:29:32,370
but their host
communities are not

463
00:29:32,437 --> 00:29:34,072
as vulnerable.

464
00:29:39,377 --> 00:29:41,779
(gentle music)

465
00:29:49,254 --> 00:29:51,456
These vulnerable populations

466
00:29:51,522 --> 00:29:54,259
live on a day-to-day basis.

467
00:29:54,325 --> 00:29:56,194
It's about survival every day.

468
00:29:58,463 --> 00:29:59,530
And they can be exploited

469
00:29:59,597 --> 00:30:01,532
by any economic activity,

470
00:30:01,599 --> 00:30:05,236
because they desperately
are in need

471
00:30:05,303 --> 00:30:06,838
of transforming their lives.

472
00:30:18,716 --> 00:30:21,419
Their ability to question

473
00:30:21,486 --> 00:30:23,655
and to challenge capitalists

474
00:30:23,721 --> 00:30:26,491
and government policy
becomes very difficult.

475
00:30:27,091 --> 00:30:28,293
(Arnie): Asia,

476
00:30:28,359 --> 00:30:31,029
Africa, South America.

477
00:30:31,929 --> 00:30:34,732
This is where this crossroads,

478
00:30:34,799 --> 00:30:37,235
this critical crossroads
of poverty,

479
00:30:37,302 --> 00:30:40,605
indigenous culture
and biodiversity

480
00:30:40,672 --> 00:30:42,373
are all found in the same place,

481
00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:44,742
and this is where tourism

482
00:30:44,809 --> 00:30:46,711
is going into right now.

483
00:30:47,679 --> 00:30:49,213
(Bruce): We're travelling
to some of the most

484
00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:51,015
in need countries in the world,

485
00:30:51,082 --> 00:30:53,818
yet people are coming
in and out of those countries

486
00:30:53,885 --> 00:30:55,219
and not benefiting
local communities.

487
00:30:55,286 --> 00:30:57,488
(Rachel): We, as tourists,
have kind of lost

488
00:30:57,555 --> 00:30:58,723
the plot, I think.

489
00:30:59,724 --> 00:31:00,959
We're at a tipping point.

490
00:31:01,025 --> 00:31:03,728
We have a fundamental
problem with tourism.

491
00:31:04,529 --> 00:31:07,498
(gentle music)

492
00:31:12,503 --> 00:31:14,138
(Johnathan): The biggest
challenge facing

493
00:31:14,205 --> 00:31:16,407
the tourism industry today

494
00:31:16,474 --> 00:31:19,177
is the need for
a paradigm shift.

495
00:31:20,445 --> 00:31:22,547
A change in the way of thinking

496
00:31:22,613 --> 00:31:24,048
of how we do travel.

497
00:31:38,162 --> 00:31:40,932
(birds chirping)

498
00:31:43,935 --> 00:31:46,838
(gentle music)

499
00:31:48,306 --> 00:31:51,642
(indistinct chattering)

500
00:31:56,247 --> 00:31:59,917
(Bruce): You know, Machu Picchu
is a tourism hot-spot

501
00:31:59,984 --> 00:32:01,352
where there's hundreds
of thousands of people

502
00:32:01,419 --> 00:32:02,320
going there every year.

503
00:32:03,087 --> 00:32:04,622
Local communities migrate
to where there's jobs

504
00:32:04,689 --> 00:32:05,990
or opportunities.

505
00:32:06,057 --> 00:32:08,726
The Andean communities that live
in the rural areas,

506
00:32:08,793 --> 00:32:09,827
the younger generation
is moving

507
00:32:09,894 --> 00:32:11,162
to the cities for work.

508
00:32:13,631 --> 00:32:15,833
Working in retail stores
and restaurants,

509
00:32:15,900 --> 00:32:17,201
selling things on the street.

510
00:32:18,302 --> 00:32:19,537
Opportunities for them to stay

511
00:32:19,604 --> 00:32:22,106
within their communities
becomes an issue.

512
00:32:22,974 --> 00:32:23,841
(honking)

513
00:32:24,542 --> 00:32:26,577
(indistinct chattering)

514
00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:30,748
(speaking foreign language)

515
00:32:31,749 --> 00:32:34,619
(lively music)

516
00:32:52,670 --> 00:32:53,871
(excited shouting)

517
00:32:59,110 --> 00:32:59,977
(popping)

518
00:33:02,146 --> 00:33:04,348
(Bruce): In the area surrounding
Machu Picchu,

519
00:33:04,415 --> 00:33:05,583
there's very few
jobs available.

520
00:33:05,650 --> 00:33:06,818
So the travellers pay

521
00:33:06,884 --> 00:33:08,019
thousands of dollars
for their holidays,

522
00:33:08,085 --> 00:33:09,487
but outside of those
tourism hot-spots,

523
00:33:09,554 --> 00:33:10,655
they just drive right through

524
00:33:10,721 --> 00:33:12,089
and ignore all
the other communities.

525
00:33:18,596 --> 00:33:20,898
(speaking Spanish)

526
00:33:32,510 --> 00:33:34,111
(chicken clucking)

527
00:33:41,786 --> 00:33:43,988
(dog barking)

528
00:34:41,579 --> 00:34:44,048
(dog barking in the distance)

529
00:34:52,456 --> 00:34:54,458
(bleating)

530
00:34:58,529 --> 00:35:00,498
(bleating)

531
00:35:08,372 --> 00:35:10,775
(speaking Spanish)

532
00:35:22,820 --> 00:35:24,288
(bleating)

533
00:35:53,784 --> 00:35:55,553
(fire crackling)

534
00:36:12,236 --> 00:36:13,571
(gentle music)

535
00:37:00,451 --> 00:37:03,187
(♪)

536
00:37:37,021 --> 00:37:39,223
(rhythmic music)

537
00:37:54,405 --> 00:37:56,440
(dramatic music)

538
00:38:20,264 --> 00:38:22,400
(indistinct chattering)

539
00:39:16,620 --> 00:39:17,621
(elephant trumpeting)

540
00:39:17,688 --> 00:39:19,657
(indistinct chattering)

541
00:39:40,244 --> 00:39:42,179
(elephant groaning)

542
00:39:43,814 --> 00:39:45,716
(laughing)

543
00:39:47,985 --> 00:39:50,855
- For you, for you, for you!

544
00:39:50,921 --> 00:39:53,390
(laughing)

545
00:39:54,191 --> 00:39:55,726
(man): Do I take it?

546
00:39:57,194 --> 00:39:58,462
(camera clicking)

547
00:40:00,898 --> 00:40:02,766
(elephant groaning)

548
00:40:07,004 --> 00:40:08,639
- Yeah!

549
00:40:08,706 --> 00:40:10,808
(laughing)

550
00:40:10,875 --> 00:40:12,243
- Ah!

551
00:40:12,309 --> 00:40:15,579
(indistinct chattering)

552
00:40:20,451 --> 00:40:22,620
(Melissa): Our research shows
that the people who are

553
00:40:22,686 --> 00:40:25,856
buying tickets to these
wildlife attractions

554
00:40:25,923 --> 00:40:27,291
are wildlife lovers.

555
00:40:29,293 --> 00:40:31,262
And they have no idea
that they're harming

556
00:40:31,328 --> 00:40:32,963
the very animals
they care about.

557
00:40:33,030 --> 00:40:34,932
(laughing)

558
00:40:35,900 --> 00:40:39,904
- Actually, I'm really not sure
what's natural and what's not.

559
00:40:39,970 --> 00:40:41,672
I have less knowledge,

560
00:40:41,739 --> 00:40:44,775
and that makes it, for me,
really hard

561
00:40:44,842 --> 00:40:46,243
to have a great opinion

562
00:40:46,310 --> 00:40:49,380
about all the centres here.

563
00:40:50,281 --> 00:40:51,548
- Good afternoon!

564
00:40:51,615 --> 00:40:53,384
(monkeys chattering)

565
00:40:58,155 --> 00:40:59,290
- What happens after the show?

566
00:40:59,356 --> 00:41:00,891
Actually, I think if

567
00:41:00,958 --> 00:41:02,259
they just do the show,

568
00:41:02,326 --> 00:41:05,162
and then they will go

569
00:41:05,229 --> 00:41:08,332
to a nice cage
with some forests,

570
00:41:08,399 --> 00:41:10,501
and they will be treated well.

571
00:41:10,567 --> 00:41:14,538
Then, I have less
of a bad feeling.

572
00:41:20,244 --> 00:41:23,347
(tense music)

573
00:41:29,086 --> 00:41:30,421
(elephant groaning)

574
00:41:30,487 --> 00:41:32,790
- If that's how they live,
actually,

575
00:41:32,856 --> 00:41:34,425
I feel bad, yes.

576
00:41:36,360 --> 00:41:38,262
(Melissa): More than 500 000
animals are suffering

577
00:41:38,329 --> 00:41:40,097
around the world
for different types

578
00:41:40,164 --> 00:41:42,066
of tourist attractions.

579
00:41:42,132 --> 00:41:43,968
Just to entertain people.

580
00:41:44,034 --> 00:41:45,336
(monkey chattering)

581
00:41:51,542 --> 00:41:53,611
(hissing)

582
00:41:54,645 --> 00:41:57,581
(presenter speaking
indistinctly)

583
00:41:58,015 --> 00:41:59,216
- Are you ready?

584
00:42:00,084 --> 00:42:01,285
Okay!

585
00:42:05,322 --> 00:42:07,424
(elephants trumpeting)

586
00:42:08,726 --> 00:42:09,927
(monkey chattering)

587
00:42:12,196 --> 00:42:13,497
(roaring)

588
00:42:13,564 --> 00:42:15,099
(Goodall): It's completely
shocking.

589
00:42:15,165 --> 00:42:17,601
There's a lot of cruelty.

590
00:42:18,402 --> 00:42:20,671
Tigers bred for tourism.

591
00:42:20,738 --> 00:42:23,874
Exhibited sometimes
in very small enclosures

592
00:42:23,941 --> 00:42:25,609
or in cages.

593
00:42:26,343 --> 00:42:28,846
(Melissa): Tigers are used
for selfies.

594
00:42:30,014 --> 00:42:31,582
That tiger was likely drugged.

595
00:42:32,249 --> 00:42:34,151
And dolphin experiences
are also very popular

596
00:42:34,218 --> 00:42:36,653
in the Caribbean and Mexico.

597
00:42:39,390 --> 00:42:41,325
Elephants are still being
poached from the wild

598
00:42:41,392 --> 00:42:43,327
for tourists to ride them
or to force them

599
00:42:43,394 --> 00:42:46,196
to perform silly tricks
for people.

600
00:42:46,864 --> 00:42:48,999
You're seeing a very sad,

601
00:42:49,066 --> 00:42:51,869
distorted version
of that animal.

602
00:42:51,935 --> 00:42:53,437
(indistinct chattering)

603
00:42:59,576 --> 00:43:00,444
(chittering)

604
00:43:00,511 --> 00:43:01,845
- It's pretty grim.

605
00:43:01,912 --> 00:43:04,148
And those are the kinds
of things tourists

606
00:43:04,214 --> 00:43:05,649
need to learn about.

607
00:43:06,717 --> 00:43:09,820
(birds chirping)

608
00:43:18,062 --> 00:43:20,764
(distant drumming, clapping)

609
00:43:21,932 --> 00:43:24,501
(Judy): We have travellers
who have knowledge

610
00:43:24,568 --> 00:43:27,905
about the places
they are visiting

611
00:43:27,971 --> 00:43:30,774
because they have sat
behind their computers,

612
00:43:30,841 --> 00:43:33,677
they have clicked
online travel agent,

613
00:43:33,744 --> 00:43:36,313
and been giving
a glossy picture

614
00:43:36,380 --> 00:43:37,981
of what everything is.

615
00:43:39,717 --> 00:43:43,087
But they are not aware
of what is happening,

616
00:43:43,153 --> 00:43:47,424
/about what they're dealing with
when they come to destinations.

617
00:43:50,194 --> 00:43:52,963
(honking, whistle blowing)

618
00:43:54,031 --> 00:43:56,567
I think that tourism
that doesn't have knowledge

619
00:43:56,633 --> 00:44:00,471
about the people in destinations
that we travel to...

620
00:44:03,240 --> 00:44:04,942
...it is not travel.

621
00:44:07,478 --> 00:44:09,313
It becomes more of a holiday

622
00:44:09,379 --> 00:44:12,749
from the reality of places.

623
00:44:13,684 --> 00:44:16,620
(cars honking)

624
00:44:19,957 --> 00:44:21,825
(gentle music)

625
00:44:21,892 --> 00:44:24,328
(Meenu): Poverty is
one liability

626
00:44:24,394 --> 00:44:26,797
of marginalized communities.

627
00:44:26,864 --> 00:44:28,265
Gender inequality.

628
00:44:28,332 --> 00:44:30,400
These problems have
existed in the world

629
00:44:30,467 --> 00:44:32,269
for ages and ages.

630
00:44:32,336 --> 00:44:34,605
Tourism didn't cause
this problem.

631
00:44:34,671 --> 00:44:37,941
But every single person
who decides

632
00:44:38,008 --> 00:44:40,611
to become a tourist
has to make a choice.

633
00:44:41,512 --> 00:44:45,282
Whether I'm going to be part
of the solution, or not.

634
00:44:45,349 --> 00:44:47,885
(gentle music)

635
00:44:47,951 --> 00:44:51,588
(birds chirping)

636
00:44:52,656 --> 00:44:53,991
Tourism is a big industry,

637
00:44:54,057 --> 00:44:57,661
I mean, it's a booming industry,
and more and more people

638
00:44:57,728 --> 00:44:59,429
are talking
about responsible tourism,

639
00:44:59,496 --> 00:45:00,931
sustainable tourism,

640
00:45:00,998 --> 00:45:02,933
They're talking about
how they can give back

641
00:45:03,000 --> 00:45:06,203
to the communities,
and how they can make

642
00:45:06,270 --> 00:45:08,872
their experiences of travel
more meaningful.

643
00:45:09,606 --> 00:45:11,041
But there has to be
an interaction,

644
00:45:11,108 --> 00:45:13,677
there has to be sharing,
there has to be knowledge.

645
00:45:15,946 --> 00:45:17,714
(bells ringing)

646
00:45:18,582 --> 00:45:21,485
(indistinct chattering)

647
00:45:23,954 --> 00:45:25,389
It's when we travel
to different places,

648
00:45:25,455 --> 00:45:26,890
we learn about things.

649
00:45:28,559 --> 00:45:30,727
There are other worlds possible.

650
00:45:31,461 --> 00:45:34,131
There are other ways of being.

651
00:45:36,466 --> 00:45:39,102
You know, build an understanding
of the world

652
00:45:39,169 --> 00:45:42,005
which is so much more diverse
than where I live

653
00:45:42,072 --> 00:45:43,707
and what I know about.

654
00:45:45,976 --> 00:45:48,712
(soft music)

655
00:45:56,687 --> 00:45:59,122
(speaking foreign language)

656
00:46:27,985 --> 00:46:30,087
(honking)

657
00:46:30,153 --> 00:46:31,521
(bells chiming)

658
00:46:40,931 --> 00:46:43,200
(Meenu): One in three
women globally

659
00:46:43,267 --> 00:46:45,569
has faced violence
in her lifetime.

660
00:46:45,636 --> 00:46:49,473
In India, more than 90 %
of the cases of violence

661
00:46:49,539 --> 00:46:51,475
that happened against women
are happening

662
00:46:51,541 --> 00:46:53,644
in their families
and communities.

663
00:46:53,710 --> 00:46:54,978
The reality is that

664
00:46:55,045 --> 00:46:57,748
the men's own homes
and their own communities

665
00:46:57,814 --> 00:47:00,584
are the most violent places
if you look at the records

666
00:47:00,651 --> 00:47:03,020
of crime against women
across the world.

667
00:47:03,520 --> 00:47:05,222
It's not just in India
that we are fighting

668
00:47:05,289 --> 00:47:06,690
against oppression.

669
00:47:09,559 --> 00:47:11,995
Can tourism be a part
of the solution?

670
00:47:13,530 --> 00:47:15,599
(elephant groaning)

671
00:47:15,666 --> 00:47:17,467
(cameras clicking)

672
00:47:17,534 --> 00:47:19,903
(elephant trumpeting)

673
00:47:25,108 --> 00:47:27,311
(applause)

674
00:47:27,377 --> 00:47:29,579
(indistinct chattering)

675
00:47:32,516 --> 00:47:34,918
(applause)

676
00:47:39,022 --> 00:47:40,257
(bird cawing)

677
00:47:40,324 --> 00:47:41,892
(speaking foreign language)

678
00:48:26,336 --> 00:48:27,938
(elephant groaning)

679
00:48:32,075 --> 00:48:34,177
(elephant trumpeting)

680
00:48:37,347 --> 00:48:38,548
- For travellers,

681
00:48:38,615 --> 00:48:40,017
when you visit a place,

682
00:48:40,083 --> 00:48:43,019
you become part of that place
from the moment you arrive,

683
00:48:43,086 --> 00:48:45,789
by what you do,
where you spend your money,

684
00:48:45,856 --> 00:48:48,191
who you talk to,
how you behave.

685
00:48:48,258 --> 00:48:50,293
There's an interaction going on.

686
00:48:50,360 --> 00:48:52,529
This wallet is a vote,

687
00:48:52,596 --> 00:48:55,766
and every dollar
or euro you spend

688
00:48:55,832 --> 00:48:58,902
is sending a message,
"I like this, do more of it."

689
00:48:59,836 --> 00:49:01,805
- There are more than 3000
elephants suffering

690
00:49:01,872 --> 00:49:04,508
in tourist attractions
across Southeast Asia.

691
00:49:04,574 --> 00:49:05,876
In Vietnam,

692
00:49:05,942 --> 00:49:09,279
Cambodia, and Thailand
is really the hot-spot for this.

693
00:49:09,346 --> 00:49:11,882
What people don't realize
is the harsh treatment

694
00:49:11,948 --> 00:49:13,650
that the elephants
have to endure

695
00:49:13,717 --> 00:49:15,919
in order to accept
a person on their back.

696
00:49:32,836 --> 00:49:34,471
- It's horrific, really.

697
00:49:34,538 --> 00:49:37,741
I hate to tell people about it,
but I think people need to know

698
00:49:37,808 --> 00:49:41,778
that any elephant that's forced
to give tourists rides

699
00:49:41,845 --> 00:49:44,281
or perform circus-like
tricks for them

700
00:49:44,347 --> 00:49:46,750
was beaten into submission.

701
00:49:46,817 --> 00:49:50,387
(indistinct chattering)

702
00:49:57,627 --> 00:49:58,829
(shouting)

703
00:50:00,130 --> 00:50:02,966
(elephant groaning)

704
00:50:15,745 --> 00:50:17,147
(somber music)

705
00:50:40,370 --> 00:50:41,905
(elephant trumpeting)

706
00:50:46,176 --> 00:50:47,911
(Melissa): Many elephants
experience

707
00:50:47,978 --> 00:50:50,046
post-traumatic stress disorder.

708
00:50:50,113 --> 00:50:53,116
You can see them rocking
back and forth, pacing.

709
00:50:53,183 --> 00:50:55,252
These are called
"stereotypical behaviours."

710
00:50:55,318 --> 00:50:58,288
We've never seen them
in the wild in elephants.

711
00:50:59,656 --> 00:51:02,125
(elephant groaning)

712
00:51:02,859 --> 00:51:04,961
(elephant trumpeting)

713
00:51:06,429 --> 00:51:09,633
(Goodall): And it's the same
with a chimpanzee, or a gorilla,

714
00:51:09,699 --> 00:51:11,501
or orangutan, or monkey.

715
00:51:11,568 --> 00:51:14,538
And lions and tigers.

716
00:51:14,604 --> 00:51:17,073
They become psychotic.

717
00:51:17,140 --> 00:51:19,509
They show very
abnormal behaviour.

718
00:51:19,576 --> 00:51:22,145
Pacing back and forth.

719
00:51:22,212 --> 00:51:23,880
And in the end,

720
00:51:23,947 --> 00:51:26,616
will become deeply depressed

721
00:51:26,683 --> 00:51:30,253
and just withdraw
into him or herself.

722
00:51:30,320 --> 00:51:31,721
Like a person would.

723
00:51:31,788 --> 00:51:34,457
You see the same
with orphaned children

724
00:51:34,524 --> 00:51:36,960
in some of these
terrible orphanages.

725
00:51:37,627 --> 00:51:39,963
(children chattering)

726
00:51:44,534 --> 00:51:47,370
(insects chirping)

727
00:51:52,375 --> 00:51:54,444
(child crying)

728
00:51:58,982 --> 00:52:01,518
(speaking foreign language)

729
00:52:11,027 --> 00:52:13,863
(indistinct chattering)

730
00:52:16,566 --> 00:52:18,969
- Adjective...

731
00:52:21,371 --> 00:52:24,307
Describes... Does that
describe a noun?

732
00:52:24,374 --> 00:52:26,276
What is a noun?

733
00:52:29,980 --> 00:52:32,949
(chuckling, chattering)

734
00:52:34,150 --> 00:52:37,020
I don't have any
teaching qualification,

735
00:52:37,087 --> 00:52:38,588
I've not done my
teaching English

736
00:52:38,655 --> 00:52:40,790
as a second language
qualification.

737
00:52:40,857 --> 00:52:42,592
It's not necessary,
if you want to spend time

738
00:52:42,659 --> 00:52:45,629
with the children, and enjoy
spending time with children,

739
00:52:45,695 --> 00:52:46,863
it's all you need.

740
00:52:46,930 --> 00:52:49,432
And a basic understanding
of English yourself.

741
00:52:49,499 --> 00:52:53,570
It's super easy to volunteer.
We emailed maybe...

742
00:52:53,637 --> 00:52:57,440
three weeks before coming
here at absolute most.

743
00:52:57,507 --> 00:53:00,510
Ferio called us the night before
to confirm times,

744
00:53:00,577 --> 00:53:03,913
make sure everything was all
okay and then, yeah.

745
00:53:03,980 --> 00:53:05,448
We were here within...

746
00:53:05,515 --> 00:53:06,916
twenty-four hours.

747
00:53:06,983 --> 00:53:08,618
It was so simple.

748
00:53:08,685 --> 00:53:10,420
It could not have been
any easier.

749
00:53:10,487 --> 00:53:12,989
- Volunteering is one of tourism
industry's

750
00:53:13,056 --> 00:53:14,090
fastest-growing trends,

751
00:53:14,157 --> 00:53:16,559
and it's often unregulated.

752
00:53:17,360 --> 00:53:19,162
(gentle music)

753
00:53:21,197 --> 00:53:25,001
About two billion dollars a year
are spent through voluntourism

754
00:53:25,068 --> 00:53:28,104
by sending out ten million
volunteers.

755
00:53:29,072 --> 00:53:31,408
- I spent my entire childhood
in institutional care.

756
00:53:31,474 --> 00:53:35,011
The number of volunteers that
came in through the doors...

757
00:53:35,512 --> 00:53:36,579
You lose count.

758
00:53:36,646 --> 00:53:38,348
There are so many.

759
00:53:38,415 --> 00:53:39,883
(Clarissa): Imagine a bus load
of tourists

760
00:53:39,949 --> 00:53:43,286
coming into a school
and disturbing a class...

761
00:53:43,353 --> 00:53:44,954
- Guys, I found
the kindergarten.

762
00:53:45,021 --> 00:53:46,456
(Clarissa): ...to play
with the kids,

763
00:53:46,523 --> 00:53:48,091
to take selfies with them.

764
00:53:48,158 --> 00:53:50,126
- She's gonna let me
come see the babies.

765
00:53:50,193 --> 00:53:52,429
- I don't think they've ever
seen hair like mine before.

766
00:53:52,495 --> 00:53:54,164
- We can't really talk
to each other,

767
00:53:54,230 --> 00:53:55,598
but honestly, they just
want to touch you.

768
00:53:55,665 --> 00:53:57,100
(children chattering excitedly)

769
00:53:57,167 --> 00:53:59,369
- Sometimes, they give out
candy and then

770
00:53:59,436 --> 00:54:02,205
also expect the children
to do a performance for them.

771
00:54:02,272 --> 00:54:04,674
Would this happen
in your own country?

772
00:54:04,741 --> 00:54:07,210
Probably not.
So, why do tourists think

773
00:54:07,277 --> 00:54:10,280
it's okay to do it
in developing countries?

774
00:54:11,081 --> 00:54:13,717
See the saviour complex.

775
00:54:14,417 --> 00:54:18,021
This idea that you can go
abroad without skills,

776
00:54:18,088 --> 00:54:19,823
without qualifications,

777
00:54:19,889 --> 00:54:21,291
whether you know
the local language,

778
00:54:21,357 --> 00:54:23,560
have worked with
the issue before.

779
00:54:23,626 --> 00:54:27,097
It's rooted in this belief
that you can actually

780
00:54:27,163 --> 00:54:29,499
change societies
and communities.

781
00:54:29,566 --> 00:54:33,937
Let's be honest here.
This is neocolonialism.

782
00:54:34,003 --> 00:54:37,006
This is deeply rooted
in prejudice.

783
00:54:38,908 --> 00:54:41,277
(indistinct distant speaking)

784
00:54:42,278 --> 00:54:43,646
- Beautiful.

785
00:54:43,713 --> 00:54:46,216
- Anything else?
White, beautiful?

786
00:54:48,585 --> 00:54:51,788
(Judy): The visible impact
of voluntourism

787
00:54:51,855 --> 00:54:53,356
is what we see.

788
00:54:53,423 --> 00:54:56,760
It's the pictures from
those who went to the orphanage.

789
00:54:56,826 --> 00:54:59,496
It's the report
from the company.

790
00:54:59,562 --> 00:55:02,165
It's the amount
that was contributed,

791
00:55:02,232 --> 00:55:06,469
but there are invisible,
emotional impacts

792
00:55:06,536 --> 00:55:09,906
that happen when we go
to these places

793
00:55:09,973 --> 00:55:11,574
and leave.

794
00:55:11,641 --> 00:55:14,210
It's undocumented.

795
00:55:15,512 --> 00:55:17,480
(birds chirping)

796
00:55:17,547 --> 00:55:20,216
(man): Can you just tell me
where we are, where we're going?

797
00:55:20,283 --> 00:55:23,186
- Uh, we are at...
(speaking foreign language)

798
00:55:23,253 --> 00:55:24,487
...a Children's Home.

799
00:55:24,554 --> 00:55:28,691
Here, I've been here
since I was in grade four.

800
00:55:28,758 --> 00:55:31,094
We were around 42 children.

801
00:55:31,161 --> 00:55:34,264
I've been here for eight years.

802
00:55:36,232 --> 00:55:38,101
And...

803
00:55:38,168 --> 00:55:40,670
Here, there was...

804
00:55:40,737 --> 00:55:42,505
This is where we used to play.

805
00:55:42,572 --> 00:55:46,309
And here, mostly where
the volunteers could come.

806
00:55:46,376 --> 00:55:48,978
Here, we could just
entertain them.

807
00:55:49,045 --> 00:55:51,748
(rhythmic drumming)

808
00:55:51,815 --> 00:55:53,983
(indistinct chattering)

809
00:55:54,050 --> 00:55:56,753
(Michelle): In 2008, I boarded
an airplane

810
00:55:56,820 --> 00:55:58,888
from Toronto to Nairobi.

811
00:55:58,955 --> 00:56:01,624
I remember meeting Teresia
very well.

812
00:56:01,691 --> 00:56:05,895
Teresia was one of the older
girls at the orphanage.

813
00:56:05,962 --> 00:56:08,631
She was friendly,
she approached me.

814
00:56:08,698 --> 00:56:10,099
She cuddled with me.

815
00:56:10,166 --> 00:56:12,468
She wanted to talk to me,
play with my hair,

816
00:56:12,535 --> 00:56:14,604
braid my hair.
And I'll be honest,

817
00:56:14,671 --> 00:56:17,674
this just made me feel
absolutely wonderful.

818
00:56:18,541 --> 00:56:21,177
(bright piano music)

819
00:56:21,811 --> 00:56:24,447
(children chattering)

820
00:56:59,282 --> 00:57:02,151
- Since 2005, in Cambodia,

821
00:57:02,218 --> 00:57:05,688
there's been a 75%
increase in orphanages,

822
00:57:05,755 --> 00:57:09,525
and this directly reflects
the tourism industry.

823
00:57:10,727 --> 00:57:13,363
So, what this 75% increase shows

824
00:57:13,429 --> 00:57:17,233
is that orphanage tourism
has become a lucrative business.

825
00:57:33,216 --> 00:57:35,218
(Clarissa): The majority
of the orphanages

826
00:57:35,285 --> 00:57:37,287
follow a very similar pattern.

827
00:57:37,353 --> 00:57:39,989
So, you usually see a lot
of children

828
00:57:40,056 --> 00:57:41,557
in very dire conditions.

829
00:57:41,624 --> 00:57:43,359
The operators want to pull
at the heartstrings

830
00:57:43,426 --> 00:57:45,495
of these travellers
and these volunteers

831
00:57:45,561 --> 00:57:48,631
to get the donations
from them at the end.

832
00:57:48,698 --> 00:57:51,501
"Orphanage" has become
a dirty word.

833
00:57:51,567 --> 00:57:54,537
They've rebranded themselves
as "child centres"

834
00:57:54,604 --> 00:57:57,006
or "residential care
institutions,"

835
00:57:57,073 --> 00:57:59,509
so they can still
attract volunteers,

836
00:57:59,575 --> 00:58:02,712
attract travellers
under the same game.

837
00:58:03,613 --> 00:58:06,416
About 80% of children
living in orphanages

838
00:58:06,482 --> 00:58:09,085
have at least
one living parent.

839
00:58:09,152 --> 00:58:11,821
(soft music)

840
00:58:11,888 --> 00:58:14,190
(speaking foreign language)

841
00:58:38,815 --> 00:58:43,653
(Peter): Research has shown
that poverty is a big factor.

842
00:58:43,720 --> 00:58:47,523
Communities, they are quick
to postulate into these places.

843
00:58:47,590 --> 00:58:49,892
It's a quick fix
and unfortunately,

844
00:58:49,959 --> 00:58:52,428
that does not work
in the childrens' interests.

845
00:58:52,495 --> 00:58:54,464
So, what then,
does that tell you?

846
00:58:54,530 --> 00:58:57,033
Voluntourism fuels the demand

847
00:58:57,100 --> 00:58:59,969
for children to be
in these facilities.

848
00:59:00,036 --> 00:59:03,039
It fuels the separation
of children

849
00:59:03,106 --> 00:59:04,874
from their families of origin.

850
00:59:04,941 --> 00:59:07,210
(chickens clucking)

851
00:59:07,276 --> 00:59:10,847
- I've been building a big zoo
for them to stay.

852
00:59:12,648 --> 00:59:16,386
For them to stay all together,
I think, in the future.

853
00:59:17,820 --> 00:59:22,759
For me, I feed them.
I love them like my children.

854
00:59:23,393 --> 00:59:26,729
Like, I take care
of the children in here.

855
00:59:28,164 --> 00:59:32,068
(Judy): It is very difficult

856
00:59:32,135 --> 00:59:35,905
to separate voluntourism

857
00:59:35,972 --> 00:59:38,041
from the kind of, often,

858
00:59:38,107 --> 00:59:40,943
a zoo kind of tourism.

859
00:59:41,010 --> 00:59:45,815
Where we go and we click,
and we cuddle animals,

860
00:59:45,882 --> 00:59:48,384
and we take nice pictures.

861
00:59:48,451 --> 00:59:51,220
And we go to orphanage homes
through volunteers

862
00:59:51,287 --> 00:59:54,057
and do exactly the same thing.

863
00:59:55,091 --> 00:59:59,462
It's a mirror of what we do
with animals in the zoo.

864
01:00:00,596 --> 01:00:02,865
To do this with little ones.

865
01:00:02,932 --> 01:00:04,867
Children.

866
01:00:04,934 --> 01:00:05,902
(babies crying)

867
01:00:05,968 --> 01:00:08,304
With another human being.

868
01:00:09,205 --> 01:00:12,275
(baby cries echoing)

869
01:00:18,681 --> 01:00:21,551
- It's very painful memories.

870
01:00:22,685 --> 01:00:26,456
And thinking how many years
are wasted in depression.

871
01:00:26,522 --> 01:00:29,325
(baby cries echoing)

872
01:00:30,493 --> 01:00:32,895
We knew we had family members
who loved us,

873
01:00:32,962 --> 01:00:36,732
but you describe yourself
as a total orphan,

874
01:00:36,799 --> 01:00:41,304
and we had nobody to totally
share with the truth.

875
01:00:41,370 --> 01:00:43,873
(babies crying)

876
01:00:47,844 --> 01:00:50,746
(gentle piano music)

877
01:00:50,813 --> 01:00:53,683
(birds chirping)

878
01:00:59,355 --> 01:01:02,258
- Someone came into
my life today.

879
01:01:02,325 --> 01:01:04,460
But then, tomorrow,
they weren't there.

880
01:01:04,527 --> 01:01:08,297
I felt worthless,

881
01:01:08,364 --> 01:01:09,532
undeserving.

882
01:01:09,599 --> 01:01:11,734
(children chattering)

883
01:01:12,568 --> 01:01:14,904
- You can tell that
all of the children here,

884
01:01:14,971 --> 01:01:18,274
they want that relationship,
that connection.

885
01:01:18,341 --> 01:01:21,344
(child calling)

886
01:01:21,410 --> 01:01:23,079
They just want to be
with you,

887
01:01:23,146 --> 01:01:26,048
they will write messages like,
"We love you so much.

888
01:01:26,115 --> 01:01:28,050
Thank you for helping
our school,

889
01:01:28,117 --> 01:01:30,219
thank you for bringing money."

890
01:01:30,286 --> 01:01:32,588
(indistinct chattering)

891
01:01:33,456 --> 01:01:36,492
(Michelle): A decade has passed,
and I'm learning that

892
01:01:36,559 --> 01:01:38,361
those hugs and affection,

893
01:01:38,427 --> 01:01:40,796
they're a sign of
an attachment disorder.

894
01:01:41,764 --> 01:01:42,899
(camera clicking)

895
01:01:42,965 --> 01:01:45,935
It means they will be unable
to form healthy bonds

896
01:01:46,002 --> 01:01:47,803
later in life.

897
01:01:47,870 --> 01:01:52,141
I was just one
of many volunteers

898
01:01:52,208 --> 01:01:54,577
who came through
a rotating door,

899
01:01:54,644 --> 01:01:57,413
off a bus to hug them,

900
01:01:57,480 --> 01:01:59,348
to play with them.

901
01:01:59,415 --> 01:02:02,451
Causing them harm.

902
01:02:02,518 --> 01:02:04,320
I had all the best
of intentions,

903
01:02:04,387 --> 01:02:05,721
but in hindsight,

904
01:02:05,788 --> 01:02:08,391
I didn't do my homework,
I didn't take the time

905
01:02:08,457 --> 01:02:10,960
to really understand
what communities needed,

906
01:02:11,027 --> 01:02:14,230
what my impact would have been
on those communities

907
01:02:14,297 --> 01:02:15,932
or why those children
were there.

908
01:02:15,998 --> 01:02:18,067
And when I got there,
I really learned

909
01:02:18,134 --> 01:02:19,502
the horrible truth.

910
01:02:19,569 --> 01:02:22,271
They were there because
I wanted to be there,

911
01:02:22,338 --> 01:02:24,207
not because they
needed to be there.

912
01:02:24,273 --> 01:02:26,275
And because of people like me,

913
01:02:26,342 --> 01:02:28,911
they were separated
from their families.

914
01:02:30,279 --> 01:02:33,816
(gentle music)

915
01:02:33,883 --> 01:02:36,118
(insects chirping)

916
01:02:39,055 --> 01:02:43,025
(Peter): One in three
ends up homeless.

917
01:02:44,427 --> 01:02:47,697
One in seven gets involved
in prostitution.

918
01:02:47,763 --> 01:02:51,033
One in five
has a criminal record.

919
01:02:53,536 --> 01:02:57,139
And one in ten...

920
01:02:57,206 --> 01:02:59,842
ends up committing suicide.

921
01:03:02,111 --> 01:03:04,947
(gentle music)

922
01:03:06,916 --> 01:03:10,286
These are experiences
I have lived through.

923
01:03:10,353 --> 01:03:12,989
I'm the last one
in a family of six.

924
01:03:13,055 --> 01:03:16,459
And we were six of us,
taken to an orphanage.

925
01:03:16,525 --> 01:03:19,061
We all left at different times.

926
01:03:20,096 --> 01:03:23,566
But it was not long after that
my brother committed suicide.

927
01:03:29,572 --> 01:03:33,276
And so, for many children
that are going through...

928
01:03:33,342 --> 01:03:35,544
what I went through,

929
01:03:35,611 --> 01:03:38,681
it's important
that we think, really...

930
01:03:39,515 --> 01:03:41,717
about what is right for them.

931
01:03:52,061 --> 01:03:55,564
(children singing)

932
01:03:58,701 --> 01:04:02,438
- Selfie, say, "Selfie!" Selfie!

933
01:04:02,505 --> 01:04:04,740
(children continue singing)

934
01:04:04,807 --> 01:04:09,211
- And how can they still get
to be in family settings?

935
01:04:09,278 --> 01:04:12,882
How can they get to experience
the love and care of a family?

936
01:04:12,948 --> 01:04:15,918
(children singing)

937
01:04:15,985 --> 01:04:18,821
(gentle music)

938
01:04:19,255 --> 01:04:22,091
♪ Rain, rain, go away ♪

939
01:04:22,158 --> 01:04:24,193
♪ Rain, go away

940
01:04:24,260 --> 01:04:27,363
♪ Come again another day

941
01:04:27,430 --> 01:04:30,399
♪ Rain, rain, go away

942
01:04:30,466 --> 01:04:33,235
♪ Rain, rain, go away ♪

943
01:04:38,140 --> 01:04:41,110
(clapping)

944
01:04:46,182 --> 01:04:48,718
(children chattering)

945
01:04:51,153 --> 01:04:54,056
- There are different ways
of doing voluntourism

946
01:04:54,123 --> 01:04:58,461
and we can do voluntourism
without being disruptive,

947
01:04:58,527 --> 01:05:01,397
by still leaving
a positive footprint.

948
01:05:01,464 --> 01:05:03,899
And in situations where
we can determine

949
01:05:03,966 --> 01:05:07,036
that positive footprint
in advance,

950
01:05:07,103 --> 01:05:10,673
and we can be accountable
for our actions,

951
01:05:10,740 --> 01:05:13,542
I think it's the best way
of volunteering.

952
01:05:13,609 --> 01:05:15,544
- So, talk to us just
a little bit about

953
01:05:15,611 --> 01:05:17,546
the Stahili Foundation
that you helped found

954
01:05:17,613 --> 01:05:19,215
after making this.

955
01:05:19,281 --> 01:05:21,784
- Well, a couple of years later,
we came together

956
01:05:21,851 --> 01:05:26,088
and realizing what was actually
happening in the institution,

957
01:05:26,155 --> 01:05:28,157
Stahili was born.

958
01:05:28,224 --> 01:05:31,660
It wasn't initially born
as an NGO, it started...

959
01:05:34,930 --> 01:05:37,032
- The most important thing
about being

960
01:05:37,099 --> 01:05:40,503
a responsible traveller
is to be an informed traveller.

961
01:05:40,569 --> 01:05:44,340
- For me, the travels
that I took

962
01:05:44,407 --> 01:05:46,442
were really my education.

963
01:05:46,509 --> 01:05:48,744
To lead us in the direction
of ensuring

964
01:05:48,811 --> 01:05:52,114
that this massive industry that
we call travel and tourism

965
01:05:52,181 --> 01:05:53,716
and all of its components

966
01:05:53,783 --> 01:05:56,919
protects the very places
we visit.

967
01:06:00,389 --> 01:06:04,760
Ko Pha Ngan, it was a real,
dramatic experience

968
01:06:04,827 --> 01:06:07,897
that kind of made me begin
to question

969
01:06:07,963 --> 01:06:10,966
conservation from a different
perspective.

970
01:06:11,033 --> 01:06:14,737
And suddenly, tourism became
a part of that.

971
01:06:15,271 --> 01:06:17,773
- We should ask more questions

972
01:06:17,840 --> 01:06:19,975
about the places
that we want to visit.

973
01:06:20,042 --> 01:06:23,279
And I'm not asking the traveller
to be government,

974
01:06:23,345 --> 01:06:26,782
I'm not asking them to be
the inspector of tourism,

975
01:06:26,849 --> 01:06:29,518
I'm just asking them
to put value

976
01:06:29,585 --> 01:06:31,454
in the places that they visit.

977
01:06:31,520 --> 01:06:33,456
- What if we could
harness tourism?

978
01:06:33,522 --> 01:06:35,424
What if tourism
was done differently?

979
01:06:35,491 --> 01:06:38,627
What if tourism was based
on supporting local people?

980
01:06:39,161 --> 01:06:43,065
What if tourism actually
invested and supported

981
01:06:43,132 --> 01:06:46,836
the very places that people
were travelling to see?

982
01:07:04,220 --> 01:07:05,888
(gentle music)

983
01:07:12,328 --> 01:07:14,663
(elephant bellowing)

984
01:07:28,477 --> 01:07:31,547
(Melissa): There are many places
that have rescued elephants

985
01:07:31,614 --> 01:07:33,249
from these other
tourist attractions.

986
01:07:33,315 --> 01:07:35,751
These elephants can't be
released into the wild,

987
01:07:35,818 --> 01:07:37,553
but there is hope
for the elephants

988
01:07:37,620 --> 01:07:39,288
that are currently
in captivity.

989
01:07:39,355 --> 01:07:41,824
If we are to phase out
elephant rides,

990
01:07:41,891 --> 01:07:44,260
they still could have a life
worth living

991
01:07:44,326 --> 01:07:48,430
if they are provided proper
a natural environment.

992
01:08:04,113 --> 01:08:06,482
(gentle music)

993
01:08:09,985 --> 01:08:11,153
(Melissa): You can,
as a tourist,

994
01:08:11,220 --> 01:08:14,023
feel good about
supporting these venues

995
01:08:14,089 --> 01:08:17,092
and seeing elephants
in proper sanctuaries.

996
01:08:18,494 --> 01:08:21,797
Those people are leading
the way in helping us shift

997
01:08:21,864 --> 01:08:24,266
this change in tourism demand.

998
01:08:39,448 --> 01:08:42,217
(gentle music)

999
01:08:46,088 --> 01:08:48,958
(laughing)

1000
01:09:19,321 --> 01:09:23,459
(Goodall): The important fact
that unless we work

1001
01:09:23,525 --> 01:09:26,862
to improve the lives
of local communities

1002
01:09:26,929 --> 01:09:29,431
around an area
that we want to conserve,

1003
01:09:29,498 --> 01:09:31,433
if we don't do something
to help the people,

1004
01:09:31,500 --> 01:09:35,337
we can't even try
to conserve the animals.

1005
01:09:35,404 --> 01:09:39,308
- Responsible tourism is
tourism that puts people first.

1006
01:09:39,375 --> 01:09:42,645
It must be inclusive
of the people in destinations

1007
01:09:42,711 --> 01:09:44,079
that we travel to.

1008
01:09:44,146 --> 01:09:46,382
(Goodall): If communities
are helped a little bit,

1009
01:09:46,448 --> 01:09:48,951
then they do better.

1010
01:09:49,485 --> 01:09:52,354
(gentle music)

1011
01:10:31,694 --> 01:10:36,298
(singing in foreign language)

1012
01:11:10,399 --> 01:11:14,269
(singing continues)

1013
01:11:22,978 --> 01:11:27,082
- Because, if tourists didn't go
and pay money to see

1014
01:11:27,149 --> 01:11:29,151
these "entertainments,"

1015
01:11:29,218 --> 01:11:31,954
then the entertainments
would change.

1016
01:11:40,929 --> 01:11:43,065
(Judy): But if we don't
demand it,

1017
01:11:43,132 --> 01:11:46,135
they will keep selling us
the same packages.

1018
01:11:46,201 --> 01:11:49,538
When we, as travellers,
begin to demand this,

1019
01:11:49,605 --> 01:11:53,342
then the travel industry
will give it to us.

1020
01:11:53,409 --> 01:11:56,411
(gentle music)

1021
01:12:12,661 --> 01:12:16,298
(cars honking)

1022
01:12:41,990 --> 01:12:43,659
(speaking foreign language)

1023
01:13:28,170 --> 01:13:29,471
- I think one of the most

1024
01:13:29,538 --> 01:13:32,574
important ways of making tourism
more sustainable

1025
01:13:32,641 --> 01:13:36,278
is by engaging with
organizations like Sakha,

1026
01:13:36,345 --> 01:13:40,616
where every time a tourist
comes and uses a Sakha cab,

1027
01:13:40,682 --> 01:13:43,585
they are contributing
to new pathways

1028
01:13:43,652 --> 01:13:46,054
for women's empowerment.

1029
01:14:00,969 --> 01:14:04,439
(Meenu): A majority of Sakha
clients are foreign tourists.

1030
01:14:04,506 --> 01:14:07,242
Tourism has played
a significant role

1031
01:14:07,309 --> 01:14:10,779
in helping women drivers,
those who are in more vulnerable

1032
01:14:10,846 --> 01:14:14,716
positions get opportunities
for a livelihood, for dignity.

1033
01:14:16,718 --> 01:14:19,521
Driving, it strikes
at the heart of patriarchy

1034
01:14:19,588 --> 01:14:22,824
because patriarchy,
one of the key things

1035
01:14:22,891 --> 01:14:26,361
it rests upon is restriction
of mobility for women.

1036
01:14:26,428 --> 01:14:28,563
And it's linked to the whole
issue of violence.

1037
01:14:30,332 --> 01:14:33,402
Normally, little girls grew up
inside homes,

1038
01:14:33,468 --> 01:14:36,371
they're not even allowed
to be on the roads and streets.

1039
01:14:37,339 --> 01:14:40,175
(speaking foreign language)

1040
01:14:49,785 --> 01:14:54,756
(teacher and students
speaking foreign language)

1041
01:15:03,966 --> 01:15:06,301
(Meenu): Driving, it brings
women out of their homes,

1042
01:15:06,368 --> 01:15:09,671
onto the roads,
behind powerful cars.

1043
01:15:09,738 --> 01:15:12,874
I think anyone who has ever
learned driving in their lives

1044
01:15:12,941 --> 01:15:14,943
will identify with that feeling,

1045
01:15:15,010 --> 01:15:16,878
because it does
make you feel empowered.

1046
01:15:17,746 --> 01:15:20,015
Today, in Delhi,
we have nearly 40 cars,

1047
01:15:20,082 --> 01:15:21,550
and we are able
to give employment

1048
01:15:21,616 --> 01:15:23,685
to more than
100 women chauffeurs

1049
01:15:23,752 --> 01:15:25,487
through this initiative.

1050
01:15:25,554 --> 01:15:28,657
We believe that women need
to get into the travel industry,

1051
01:15:28,724 --> 01:15:31,126
because there's a huge
transformative impact

1052
01:15:31,193 --> 01:15:33,395
that this amount of money has.

1053
01:15:33,462 --> 01:15:36,498
Women are able to negotiate
delayed marriages

1054
01:15:36,565 --> 01:15:39,301
or better marriages, or walk out
of violent relationships.

1055
01:15:39,368 --> 01:15:41,636
(indistinct chattering)

1056
01:15:41,703 --> 01:15:42,604
(car honking)

1057
01:15:42,671 --> 01:15:44,039
Ultimately, if there
are just more

1058
01:15:44,106 --> 01:15:45,307
number of women on the road,

1059
01:15:45,374 --> 01:15:47,109
their own homes will also become

1060
01:15:47,175 --> 01:15:48,777
safer for themselves.

1061
01:15:51,580 --> 01:15:53,949
(speaking foreign language)

1062
01:16:09,097 --> 01:16:11,299
(cars honking)

1063
01:16:11,366 --> 01:16:13,635
(gentle music)

1064
01:17:00,649 --> 01:17:02,584
(Judy): I think that
as travellers,

1065
01:17:02,651 --> 01:17:06,955
we should seek more to connect
with the reality of places.

1066
01:17:07,022 --> 01:17:10,559
We need a change of mindset,
to become more aware travellers,

1067
01:17:10,625 --> 01:17:12,794
to become more
conscious travellers.

1068
01:17:12,861 --> 01:17:17,999
We need the industry
in itself to transform

1069
01:17:18,066 --> 01:17:19,734
and change completely.

1070
01:17:19,801 --> 01:17:22,037
(soft music)

1071
01:17:22,104 --> 01:17:24,506
(birds chirping)

1072
01:17:28,043 --> 01:17:30,812
(rhythmic music)

1073
01:17:34,049 --> 01:17:36,751
(speaking in Spanish)

1074
01:17:43,525 --> 01:17:46,361
- We were taking passengers
through that area

1075
01:17:46,428 --> 01:17:48,363
on the way to Machu Picchu.

1076
01:17:48,430 --> 01:17:49,898
Hundreds of thousands
of passengers going

1077
01:17:49,965 --> 01:17:51,700
right through The Sacred Valley,
and you realize

1078
01:17:51,767 --> 01:17:53,401
that there's an area
there that had

1079
01:17:53,468 --> 01:17:54,803
zero employment for women.

1080
01:17:54,870 --> 01:17:56,671
And really, it was just
on the way to Machu Picchu.

1081
01:17:56,738 --> 01:17:58,940
We met Francesca
and her community,

1082
01:17:59,007 --> 01:18:01,143
and we realized that
they had an idea.

1083
01:18:01,209 --> 01:18:03,044
(speaking in Spanish)

1084
01:18:16,224 --> 01:18:19,161
- For us, it seemed like
a natural extension on the way

1085
01:18:19,227 --> 01:18:21,830
to Machu Picchu,
so it made sense for us

1086
01:18:21,897 --> 01:18:23,398
to have a dialogue
with the community,

1087
01:18:23,465 --> 01:18:24,933
to think of how can we help,

1088
01:18:25,000 --> 01:18:27,002
and how can we bring
passengers to you?

1089
01:18:27,068 --> 01:18:29,771
You know, what we have to do
as tour operators

1090
01:18:29,838 --> 01:18:33,642
is listen and create a dialogue
with local communities.

1091
01:18:33,708 --> 01:18:36,478
That's the basis
of community tourism.

1092
01:18:36,545 --> 01:18:39,548
Actually listening to
the storytelling locally,

1093
01:18:39,614 --> 01:18:41,850
of what local people want.

1094
01:18:41,917 --> 01:18:43,885
(Judy): Culture
preserves itself.

1095
01:18:43,952 --> 01:18:47,155
Tourism can come in
and strengthen it,

1096
01:18:47,222 --> 01:18:51,860
and showcase it to the world
without trying to alter it.

1097
01:18:51,927 --> 01:18:54,663
That starts by
asking the question,

1098
01:18:54,729 --> 01:18:59,000
"Is tourism the right
tool for this area?

1099
01:18:59,067 --> 01:19:01,570
And if it is, in what form

1100
01:19:01,636 --> 01:19:04,906
will it benefit
the host community?"

1101
01:19:04,973 --> 01:19:07,242
(Bruce): That's really
the magical part of tourism

1102
01:19:07,309 --> 01:19:08,476
when you get it right,

1103
01:19:08,543 --> 01:19:09,811
when you create that dialogue

1104
01:19:09,878 --> 01:19:11,313
and you're meeting
the needs for everyone,

1105
01:19:11,379 --> 01:19:13,915
and you're creating an amazing
experience for travellers.

1106
01:19:13,982 --> 01:19:16,451
(gentle music)

1107
01:19:17,319 --> 01:19:19,721
(speaking Spanish)

1108
01:19:47,515 --> 01:19:49,451
(Bruce): There's
the multigenerational

1109
01:19:49,517 --> 01:19:53,021
ripple effect impact,
goes beyond creating jobs.

1110
01:19:53,088 --> 01:19:55,390
(Elizabeth): You give locals
a voice, and you give

1111
01:19:55,457 --> 01:19:57,025
all the different
stakeholders a voice.

1112
01:19:57,092 --> 01:19:59,661
And you develop it with
the community in mind,

1113
01:19:59,728 --> 01:20:01,529
and with the natural
assets in mind,

1114
01:20:01,596 --> 01:20:02,931
and you protect those two,

1115
01:20:02,998 --> 01:20:05,066
then you have a great
experience, and you make money,

1116
01:20:05,133 --> 01:20:06,501
and everybody can win.

1117
01:20:06,568 --> 01:20:08,670
(speaking Spanish)

1118
01:21:04,893 --> 01:21:06,861
(Judy): These places
that we visit,

1119
01:21:06,928 --> 01:21:10,832
that we call destinations,
are actually people's homes.

1120
01:21:10,899 --> 01:21:13,535
We have come
into people's homes.

1121
01:21:13,601 --> 01:21:16,071
(rain spattering)

1122
01:21:16,137 --> 01:21:17,906
(birds calling)

1123
01:21:17,973 --> 01:21:20,642
(soft music)

1124
01:21:32,821 --> 01:21:34,756
(Costas): A traditional
homestay is about

1125
01:21:34,823 --> 01:21:36,257
staying with a family

1126
01:21:36,324 --> 01:21:38,893
in which they've set
the conditions and the terms

1127
01:21:38,960 --> 01:21:41,596
to welcome you
as part of their lives.

1128
01:21:41,663 --> 01:21:45,133
And you stay with them
in their home.

1129
01:21:46,601 --> 01:21:48,737
You share their day-to-day life

1130
01:21:48,803 --> 01:21:50,939
and they open
their world to you.

1131
01:21:51,006 --> 01:21:53,541
(gentle music)

1132
01:22:05,954 --> 01:22:08,757
They become the local guide.

1133
01:22:08,823 --> 01:22:11,559
They teach you
about the local culture

1134
01:22:11,626 --> 01:22:15,597
and they also help us
remember we are guests

1135
01:22:15,663 --> 01:22:18,166
in somebody else's home.

1136
01:22:19,000 --> 01:22:21,636
In somebody else's country.

1137
01:22:21,703 --> 01:22:24,639
In somebody else's community.

1138
01:22:44,559 --> 01:22:46,728
(rain spattering)

1139
01:23:14,622 --> 01:23:17,392
(birds chirping)

1140
01:23:22,197 --> 01:23:24,165
(speaking Spanish)

1141
01:24:44,479 --> 01:24:47,015
(singing in foreign language)

1142
01:25:01,229 --> 01:25:04,265
(tense music)

1143
01:25:09,003 --> 01:25:11,039
(Johnathan): The challenge
of how to deal

1144
01:25:11,105 --> 01:25:13,007
with increasing numbers
of tourists

1145
01:25:13,074 --> 01:25:16,010
is gonna be with us
for the foreseeable future.

1146
01:25:16,077 --> 01:25:18,346
And part of it
is simple arithmetic.

1147
01:25:18,413 --> 01:25:21,583
(man): We're gonna likely
have close to 10 billion people

1148
01:25:21,649 --> 01:25:25,053
on planet Earth
in the next 35 years.

1149
01:25:25,119 --> 01:25:28,189
(Rachel): If you add 160 million
visitors to the current number

1150
01:25:28,256 --> 01:25:31,259
of 1.4 billion travellers
that are travelling now,

1151
01:25:31,326 --> 01:25:32,994
every year,
that's gonna increase,

1152
01:25:33,061 --> 01:25:34,495
and then you add it to
the already

1153
01:25:34,562 --> 01:25:36,364
two to three percent,
which is the global growth,

1154
01:25:36,431 --> 01:25:39,267
you have a phenomenal
amount of people travelling.

1155
01:25:39,334 --> 01:25:42,737
- We're in an
"all hands on deck" moment.

1156
01:25:42,804 --> 01:25:45,240
If, just like a light
switch, right now,

1157
01:25:45,306 --> 01:25:46,841
I could just go "click."

1158
01:25:48,643 --> 01:25:51,980
And shut down the entire
global aviation industry,

1159
01:25:52,046 --> 01:25:53,615
every plane flight
in the world,

1160
01:25:53,681 --> 01:25:55,183
what does that look like?

1161
01:25:55,250 --> 01:25:56,718
(reporters speaking
successively)

1162
01:25:56,784 --> 01:25:58,286
- Airplanes are supposed
to fly in the sky,

1163
01:25:58,353 --> 01:26:00,221
but currently, there are more
planes on the ground.

1164
01:26:00,288 --> 01:26:02,790
- The Coronavirus effect
has been fast and devastating.

1165
01:26:02,857 --> 01:26:04,759
- There has been
so many lives lost,

1166
01:26:04,826 --> 01:26:06,527
the numbers are
impossible to grasp.

1167
01:26:06,594 --> 01:26:09,864
- COVID-19 has now spread
to more than 140 countries,

1168
01:26:09,931 --> 01:26:11,833
a truly borderless disease.

1169
01:26:11,899 --> 01:26:13,935
- Most borders
are lines on a map.

1170
01:26:14,002 --> 01:26:16,137
The virus is taking
no account of those.

1171
01:26:16,204 --> 01:26:18,973
- Travel into the European Union
is being severely restricted.

1172
01:26:19,040 --> 01:26:20,842
- Governments are sealing
their borders.

1173
01:26:20,908 --> 01:26:22,677
- India is suspending
tourist visas.

1174
01:26:22,744 --> 01:26:24,278
- ...expects a drop of...

1175
01:26:24,345 --> 01:26:26,347
- ...restrictions on foreigners
coming into Kenya.

1176
01:26:26,414 --> 01:26:28,249
- Some airports have turned
into ghost towns.

1177
01:26:28,316 --> 01:26:30,618
- Tourist hotspots
are virtually empty.

1178
01:26:30,685 --> 01:26:32,487
- Many destinations
are in lockdown.

1179
01:26:32,553 --> 01:26:34,155
- Travel was down 80%.

1180
01:26:34,222 --> 01:26:35,556
- Billions in one of
the world's biggest industries

1181
01:26:35,623 --> 01:26:37,759
suffering a devastating blow
to their livelihoods.

1182
01:26:37,825 --> 01:26:39,260
- Many countries
in the developing world

1183
01:26:39,327 --> 01:26:41,629
being hit hard, when a high
percentage of their GDP

1184
01:26:41,696 --> 01:26:42,964
was tourism-dependent.

1185
01:26:43,031 --> 01:26:44,198
- We think of the tourists,

1186
01:26:44,265 --> 01:26:45,667
who seem to have vanished
into thin air.

1187
01:26:45,733 --> 01:26:47,101
- Wondering if their jobs

1188
01:26:47,168 --> 01:26:48,903
and their means to provide
for their families

1189
01:26:48,970 --> 01:26:50,605
are going to be able
to survive this.

1190
01:26:50,672 --> 01:26:52,607
- You've seen the disruptions
in some of the most

1191
01:26:52,674 --> 01:26:54,842
sophisticated supply-chain
countries in the world,

1192
01:26:54,909 --> 01:26:57,045
you can imagine if you have
a problem there,

1193
01:26:57,111 --> 01:26:58,913
what you're gonna have
in the most fragile environments

1194
01:26:58,980 --> 01:27:01,015
or economies.

1195
01:27:05,386 --> 01:27:09,891
(dramatic music)

1196
01:27:17,131 --> 01:27:19,033
(Bruce): International travel
today

1197
01:27:19,100 --> 01:27:22,270
is one of the strongest
catalysts for conservation

1198
01:27:22,337 --> 01:27:25,440
and poverty alleviation
that we have.

1199
01:27:25,506 --> 01:27:29,043
(Meenu): Tourism has an
opportunity to change now.

1200
01:27:29,110 --> 01:27:31,646
We have to learn how to make
this interaction

1201
01:27:31,713 --> 01:27:33,681
and sharing more responsible.

1202
01:27:33,748 --> 01:27:36,451
(Bruce): The idea we've had
of a tourist has to end.

1203
01:27:36,517 --> 01:27:39,287
We need a new tourist,
a new traveller.

1204
01:27:40,254 --> 01:27:41,856
(Arnie): The key issue isn't,

1205
01:27:41,923 --> 01:27:44,025
"Do we stop travel?"

1206
01:27:44,092 --> 01:27:46,527
It's, "How do we get
travel right?"

1207
01:27:47,395 --> 01:27:51,666
(Judy): We travellers
are a very powerful lot.

1208
01:27:54,135 --> 01:27:56,637
So, when travellers
say things like,

1209
01:27:56,704 --> 01:27:58,272
"I can only do that,

1210
01:27:58,339 --> 01:28:01,342
because that is what
is available."

1211
01:28:02,176 --> 01:28:03,878
What did you ask for?

1212
01:28:04,545 --> 01:28:08,249
What do you, yourself,
want as a traveller?

1213
01:28:09,283 --> 01:28:13,354
How much do you want
a different form of travel?

1214
01:28:14,055 --> 01:28:15,923
How much do you want

1215
01:28:15,990 --> 01:28:18,326
to reduce leakages
in destinations?

1216
01:28:19,260 --> 01:28:22,363
How much do you want
to be accountable

1217
01:28:22,430 --> 01:28:24,632
for your actions
during the travel?

1218
01:28:25,500 --> 01:28:29,871
How much do you want
to leave positive footprints

1219
01:28:29,937 --> 01:28:31,672
out of your travel?

1220
01:28:33,474 --> 01:28:35,376
(children chattering)

1221
01:28:35,443 --> 01:28:38,679
(Gary): At heart, an ethical
traveller isn't selfish.

1222
01:28:39,213 --> 01:28:43,518
They don't just see travel
as being about them,

1223
01:28:43,584 --> 01:28:46,120
it's not just their trip,

1224
01:28:46,187 --> 01:28:48,055
the trip is shared

1225
01:28:48,122 --> 01:28:49,490
not only with other travellers,

1226
01:28:49,557 --> 01:28:53,528
but with residents,
and with the environment.

1227
01:28:53,594 --> 01:28:57,031
(Goodall): Responsible tourism
can be really beneficial

1228
01:28:57,098 --> 01:28:59,333
to the animals,
to the environment,

1229
01:28:59,400 --> 01:29:01,769
to the local people,
to the government,

1230
01:29:01,836 --> 01:29:03,304
and to the tourist.

1231
01:29:03,371 --> 01:29:05,907
(Bruce): For sustainability
to be achieved,

1232
01:29:05,973 --> 01:29:07,608
it's about educating
the tourist.

1233
01:29:07,675 --> 01:29:10,611
The tourist has to understand
the power they have.

1234
01:29:10,678 --> 01:29:14,315
If people just took the time
to do a bit of research

1235
01:29:14,382 --> 01:29:16,450
on where their money's going,
you have this ability

1236
01:29:16,517 --> 01:29:18,986
to suddenly make your holiday
a transformative experience

1237
01:29:19,053 --> 01:29:20,855
for so many people
that would be impacted

1238
01:29:20,922 --> 01:29:22,890
by your decision to just
go on holiday.

1239
01:29:22,957 --> 01:29:25,760
- Making sure that travel
companies

1240
01:29:25,827 --> 01:29:27,628
are being held accountable.

1241
01:29:27,695 --> 01:29:30,264
"This is what you say,
and this is what you're selling.

1242
01:29:30,331 --> 01:29:32,033
So, now, I'm going
to take the tour

1243
01:29:32,099 --> 01:29:33,868
and I want to make sure
that this is actually

1244
01:29:33,935 --> 01:29:35,536
what you deliver,
not only to me

1245
01:29:35,603 --> 01:29:38,573
as a traveller,
but to the workers, too."

1246
01:29:38,639 --> 01:29:40,274
(Rachel): We have
a responsibility to ask

1247
01:29:40,341 --> 01:29:42,643
the hotel what they're doing
for the local community,

1248
01:29:42,710 --> 01:29:46,581
or if the hotel or cruise ships
have an environmental policy.

1249
01:29:46,647 --> 01:29:49,450
(Elizabeth): As a traveller,
tip generously.

1250
01:29:49,517 --> 01:29:51,819
That's the best person-to-person
thing you can do.

1251
01:29:51,886 --> 01:29:54,355
(Clarissa): When abroad,
and considering interacting

1252
01:29:54,422 --> 01:29:57,058
with activities such as
visiting a school

1253
01:29:57,124 --> 01:29:59,861
or an orphanage,
it's always good to step back

1254
01:29:59,927 --> 01:30:03,464
and ask yourself, "Would this
be okay in my country?"

1255
01:30:03,531 --> 01:30:05,366
And if it's not,

1256
01:30:05,433 --> 01:30:07,635
there's a good chance
you shouldn't be doing it.

1257
01:30:07,702 --> 01:30:09,637
(Melissa): Do your research,
make informed decisions,

1258
01:30:09,704 --> 01:30:12,306
understand what happens
behind the scenes.

1259
01:30:12,373 --> 01:30:14,575
Simple rule of thumb:
if you can ride it,

1260
01:30:14,642 --> 01:30:17,111
hug it or take a selfie
with a wild animal,

1261
01:30:17,178 --> 01:30:19,213
chances are it's cruel,
so don't do it.

1262
01:30:19,280 --> 01:30:21,382
- We need to be responsible
about where we're purchasing

1263
01:30:21,449 --> 01:30:23,351
our products and make sure
that we buy

1264
01:30:23,417 --> 01:30:25,253
ethically sourced
and locally sourced.

1265
01:30:25,319 --> 01:30:26,787
We need to bring our own
water bottle

1266
01:30:26,854 --> 01:30:29,257
and our own coffee cup,
it's just unexcusable, now.

1267
01:30:29,323 --> 01:30:30,958
We need to stop using
single-use plastics.

1268
01:30:31,025 --> 01:30:32,994
- I think one of
the most important ways

1269
01:30:33,060 --> 01:30:35,096
of making tourism
more sustainable

1270
01:30:35,162 --> 01:30:37,298
is by ensuring that we work

1271
01:30:37,365 --> 01:30:38,833
with communities'
own initiatives.

1272
01:30:38,900 --> 01:30:42,103
Tourism can encourage
a redistribution of wealth.

1273
01:30:42,169 --> 01:30:44,305
(Bruce): Travel can be
the greatest form

1274
01:30:44,372 --> 01:30:45,740
of wealth distribution
that the world has ever seen.

1275
01:30:45,806 --> 01:30:48,276
And suddenly, your holiday
can be transformed

1276
01:30:48,342 --> 01:30:50,111
into your form of giving back.

1277
01:30:50,177 --> 01:30:53,080
Imagine a world
where that happens.

1278
01:30:55,516 --> 01:30:58,686
(man): I think that travellers
are like pollinators.

1279
01:30:58,753 --> 01:31:03,958
Wherever they go,
they get pollinated by ideas.

1280
01:31:04,792 --> 01:31:09,597
Experiences, places,
situations, people.

1281
01:31:10,231 --> 01:31:13,067
And they're transporting
them to other places.

1282
01:31:13,134 --> 01:31:14,669
But they also contribute,

1283
01:31:14,735 --> 01:31:16,737
because they have
the privilege of travelling

1284
01:31:16,804 --> 01:31:18,172
to many other places.

1285
01:31:18,239 --> 01:31:19,407
(bells ringing)

1286
01:31:19,473 --> 01:31:21,409
So, if they hear
the right message,

1287
01:31:21,475 --> 01:31:25,079
the right ideas,
the right questions,

1288
01:31:25,146 --> 01:31:27,114
that will create
a very good synergy.

1289
01:31:27,181 --> 01:31:29,483
(gentle music)

1290
01:31:31,485 --> 01:31:35,923
(Meenu): By travelling,
by meeting new people,

1291
01:31:35,990 --> 01:31:39,060
by learning new things,

1292
01:31:39,126 --> 01:31:42,129
you become part of,
in India, we say...

1293
01:31:42,196 --> 01:31:43,197
(speaks in Hindi)

1294
01:31:43,264 --> 01:31:45,266
World is a family.

1295
01:31:45,333 --> 01:31:48,135
(inspiring music)

1296
01:31:51,772 --> 01:31:54,208
(cheering)

1297
01:32:08,089 --> 01:32:10,191
(speaking Spanish)

1298
01:32:30,144 --> 01:32:33,848
(mysterious music)

1299
01:32:37,885 --> 01:32:40,654
(birds chirping)

1300
01:32:53,034 --> 01:32:55,202
(soft guitar music)

1301
01:33:00,441 --> 01:33:03,611
(speaking Spanish)

1302
01:33:38,012 --> 01:33:41,382
(deep breath echoing)

1303
01:33:42,049 --> 01:33:43,951
(rhythmic drumming)

1304
01:34:00,034 --> 01:34:05,639
(speaking foreign language)

1305
01:34:13,180 --> 01:34:15,749
(speaking Spanish)

1306
01:34:24,925 --> 01:34:27,461
(whistling)

1307
01:35:01,428 --> 01:35:03,631
(singing in foreign language)

1308
01:35:34,295 --> 01:35:36,764
(continues singing)

1309
01:35:43,370 --> 01:35:46,707
(rhythmic fanning)

1310
01:35:53,113 --> 01:35:56,684
(gentle music)

1311
01:36:00,521 --> 01:36:03,757
(birds chirping)

1312
01:36:10,231 --> 01:36:11,932
- Alright.

1313
01:36:12,900 --> 01:36:15,736
I'm committed to travelling
responsibly.

1314
01:36:15,803 --> 01:36:18,038
- I commit to making
travel decisions that align

1315
01:36:18,105 --> 01:36:19,440
with my personal values.

1316
01:36:19,506 --> 01:36:21,675
- I think it's fantastic
for travellers

1317
01:36:21,742 --> 01:36:25,179
to always have a mindset of,
"How can I support the locals?"

1318
01:36:25,246 --> 01:36:28,048
- Small changes can go
a long way.

1319
01:36:28,115 --> 01:36:31,585
- I commit to never using
plastic bags, utensils,

1320
01:36:31,652 --> 01:36:34,588
coffee cups and shampoo
and conditioner bottles...

1321
01:36:34,655 --> 01:36:36,724
- Because we are the ones
that are visiting,

1322
01:36:36,790 --> 01:36:39,026
it is very important
to be mindful

1323
01:36:39,093 --> 01:36:40,694
toward the local communities.

1324
01:36:40,761 --> 01:36:43,631
- Refuse housekeeping.
It's such a simple thing to do,

1325
01:36:43,697 --> 01:36:45,833
but you only really need
your bed sheets washed

1326
01:36:45,900 --> 01:36:48,035
every few days,
same with your towels.

1327
01:36:48,102 --> 01:36:49,436
And it saves a lot of water.

1328
01:36:49,503 --> 01:36:51,138
- Choosing hotels
and accommodations

1329
01:36:51,205 --> 01:36:52,539
that have sustainable practices.

1330
01:36:52,606 --> 01:36:54,074
- And also committing
to only using

1331
01:36:54,141 --> 01:36:56,377
reef-friendly sunscreen
to ensure that chemicals

1332
01:36:56,443 --> 01:36:57,845
aren't leaching into our oceans.

1333
01:36:57,911 --> 01:37:01,415
- Never participating in cruel
animal tourist attractions.

1334
01:37:01,482 --> 01:37:03,550
- I commit to supporting
women-led businesses,

1335
01:37:03,617 --> 01:37:05,653
organizations,
and shopping fair trade

1336
01:37:05,719 --> 01:37:07,354
whenever I possibly can.

1337
01:37:07,421 --> 01:37:10,224
- Trying to encourage people
to travel solo

1338
01:37:10,291 --> 01:37:11,492
or in small groups.

1339
01:37:11,558 --> 01:37:13,527
If you are gonna choose
a group tour,

1340
01:37:13,594 --> 01:37:17,097
then choose one that supports
and works with locals.

1341
01:37:17,164 --> 01:37:19,800
- I commit to always doing
my research before I sign up

1342
01:37:19,867 --> 01:37:21,869
to volunteer
with any organization,

1343
01:37:21,936 --> 01:37:24,505
and I commit to making sure
my impact is sustainable

1344
01:37:24,571 --> 01:37:25,539
over the long term.

1345
01:37:25,606 --> 01:37:27,107
- Go to a local fresh market,

1346
01:37:27,174 --> 01:37:28,709
go to a local farmer's market

1347
01:37:28,776 --> 01:37:30,144
and buy the things
from the locals,

1348
01:37:30,210 --> 01:37:32,212
where the money goes
right back into their economy.

1349
01:37:32,279 --> 01:37:34,381
- Deciding where
we put our money,

1350
01:37:34,448 --> 01:37:36,950
to what businesses
do we support?

1351
01:37:37,017 --> 01:37:41,555
- And continually thinking about
how my travel choices

1352
01:37:41,622 --> 01:37:44,658
can have an impact,
both positively and negatively.

1353
01:37:44,725 --> 01:37:47,661
- And I so, I think it's up
to us as travellers,

1354
01:37:47,728 --> 01:37:50,764
you and me. We have
a responsibility to search out

1355
01:37:50,831 --> 01:37:54,068
opportunities that will
benefit communities,

1356
01:37:54,134 --> 01:37:56,537
because we have so much
information at our fingertips.

1357
01:37:56,603 --> 01:37:59,039
- Sustainable, responsible,
ethical travel.

1358
01:37:59,106 --> 01:38:01,809
All of these practices,
everyone needs to be aware of it

1359
01:38:01,875 --> 01:38:04,411
and needs to think about it
when they're exploring

1360
01:38:04,478 --> 01:38:05,679
this great world
that we live in.

1361
01:38:05,746 --> 01:38:07,715
- Because I want to keep
exploring this big,

1362
01:38:07,781 --> 01:38:09,116
beautiful planet of ours.

1363
01:38:09,183 --> 01:38:12,086
(Bruce): I think what
the world needs now

1364
01:38:12,152 --> 01:38:14,188
is for people to travel.

1365
01:38:14,254 --> 01:38:17,324
(soft music)

1366
01:38:17,391 --> 01:38:20,728
Subtitling: difuze
