The consequences of climate change. Beautiful tourist destinations such as Germany's our valley are being destroyed. This region cannot function（运行） without tourism. But climate change also offers new opportunities for tourists off the beaten track. I think there's going to be many more because of the new airport is coming. Climate change is also impacting tourism on the island of Mallorca, the dream destination of many Germans.

  In some districts（区） the water taps（轻叩） were turned off. There were water shortages（不足） for domestic（国内的） use. Tourism in times of climate change. We look at three destinations and three approaches（靠近）. The our valley has become a symbol of climate change in Germany and shows how a natural catastrophe can damage local tourism. Before the floods this region attracted half a million visitors per year but those times are over.

  People in the our valley are wondering how a new form of tourism could look in times of climate change. Christian and Clarissa Lindner who live in Badnoyena are thinking about this too. Their hotel the Art Nouveau（新近到达的） Villa（别墅） Aurora（黎明的女神） built in 1905 was almost completely destroyed by the flood. We're the fourth generation to run this hotel. The original building has grown a bit over the years and has survived two world wars. It has a history of its own.

  Christian Lindner's great-grandparents opened the hotel at the beginning of the 20th century. The flood destroyed the suites（ 套）, the kitchen and the wellness area. It is still unbelievable. We were here on the night of the flood and we cleared out all the mud, all the furniture. We cleared out everything we had. We felt like we were watching a bad film.

  But this is real. We're living on a building site. This is our life. But what happened that night is still just unbelievable. We are happy that our children got through the night and that nothing bad happened. Now the Lindners face the enormous challenge of rebuilding（重建） the hotel.

  They want to retain（保持） its Art Nouveau（新近到达的） charm（魅力） and to make it sustainable, with new insulation（绝缘） on the outside and district（区） heating instead of oil and gas heating. Wherever（无论在哪里） possible, their renovation（革新） is climate-friendly. In future, guests will expect it. They won't say, "Oh, it's great that you're sustainable（可以忍受的）." They'll say, "I expect sustainability in terms of CO2 neutrality（中立） and everything else." So in five or ten years' time, it won't be a huge plus（正号） to be sustainable（可以忍受的）.

  It'll be normal. And it's a problem if you don't have it. The Lindners are striving（努力） to reopen（重开） at least part of the hotel. The first guests should be able to eat breakfast here in just a few weeks. We'll see later if it works（使工作） out. In Greenland, the catastrophe hasn't arrived overnight（一夜）, but is taking place gradually（逐渐地）.

  The eternal（永恒的） ice is thawing（使融解）, making（使） way for places previously only discovered by a few people. Will climate change provide（提供） an opportunity for tourism here and a new income（收入） stream（溪流） for the Greenlanders? We do a boat trip from the coast of Nuuk, the capital of Greenland. Only 19,000 people live here. 26-year-old Manu Skifte has been working as a tourist guide for a year in this remote place. I'm going to tell you about our Nuuk fuel system.

  It's the second-largest in the whole world. You can see Gabi Sirlin, which means the salmon, from here all the way to the Big Sea. We had a maritime（海的） course where we learned about the engine and stuff, so we can sail a boat sometime（在某一时候）. Now I am a captain, so I really like it. Manu really enjoys speeding（超速） across the water. Visitors come to Greenland in search of adventure and the wild beauty of unspoiled（ 未损坏的） nature.

  Simona and Guna Fanda Leiden from Denmark（丹麦） have made（使） a point of coming here in the winter. The nature is the one that is stronger than you as a human being, so to be here to experience is also to feel a little bit small. That's a part of the reason for going here too. The ice cap is melting（（使）融化） and accelerating（加速）. The temperature is rising three times in normal. For the next 50 years, the ice cap will be melting really fast.

  It's an opportunity to see it now. For many people, Greenland has become the symbol of climate change. Just 57,000 people live in Greenland, which has an area six times larger than Germany. Traveling is arduous（费劲的） here, but rising temperatures make it easier for cruise（巡航） ships, for instance（实例）. Around 137,000 tourists come to Greenland every year, and the numbers are rising. Three new airports are currently being built.

  Politically（ 政治上）, Greenland belongs to Denmark（丹麦）. The economy depends on payments from Copenhagen. The increasing tourism is a welcome source of income. Nuke Water Taxi, the firm（商行） that tour guide Malu works（使工作） for, is based in Nuke. The team is currently expanding its offering（供品） of winter activities. Seasonality is really, really big in Greenland.

  We get a lot of tourists in the few short summer months, and then during the shoulder season as we call them, not as many, which means for us as a company we can't hold on to all our employees. They have to go and find something else to do in the wintertime（冬）. Year-long tourism would be an important factor for the labour（劳动） market, and for Greenland's economy. Fishing is still our main industry, but with the warming climate, you see some fish disappearing, and the number of fish is always fluctuating（变动）, like we've had even some decades where fish was just completely gone. And if that happens again, I think it's important to have other economic pillars（柱） for the whole nation's GDP. But is Greenland ready for more tourists?

  We've seen what can happen when too many visitors come to one island. This is Mallorca, the German's favourite holiday destination. Visitor numbers are back to pre-pandemic（全国流行的） levels. Nobody wants to hear about the island's environmental problem. Water shortages have been triggered（引发） by climate change and tourism. Magaíra Ramíz is the spokesperson（发言人） for the largest environmental organisation in Mallorca.

  She says that tourism is using up the island's water. The fact is that tourists consume more water than a normal inhabitant（居民）. Three times as much, according（使一致） to a study by the University of Palma. So if you have 16 million tourists coming to an island of one million inhabitants in the summer, you can imagine what that means for the demand（ 要求） on water.
