Mass Tourism - Massive Problems?

Consequences of the tourism boom can be seen around the globe by the striking gap between locals and tourists: unaffordable housing, low wages and rationed drinking water. We will have a look at Mallorca, one of the favourite islands in the Mediterranean and it being on the verge of collapse. The consequences of the tourism boom can also be felt in Croatia and the Canary Islands, where local politicians fear social unrest because of the gap between holidaymakers and the population. This series does not intend to spoil travelling, but wants to draw critical attention to the side effects of mass tourism and sharpen the awareness for a conscientious approach to other cultures and environments.
