Schönes Video, finde auch die Grundaussage ansprechend... aber will man uns hier wirklich Gastein als "remote, unexplored village" verkaufen? naaaja

"You will eat lunch at a place frequented by people who live in that town."

Und im Hintergrund stehen 5 Riesenhotels. Meine Art von Humor.

Hallstatt has tons of signs saying “No drones”. This guy flys his drone all over Hallstatt and then has rambles about tourists and noise. Come on man...

Da ich Verwandte habe die normal in hallstatt wohnen sind diese Sachen immer so komisch für mich weil hallstatt für mich immer nur "das wo ich die nervigen Verwandten besuchen und mir ihre faden Familiensoapgeschichten anhören muss" war.

Ich hab grad eine Bachelorarbeit über das Thema Massentourismus geschrieben: Das Phänomen wird auch in der Literatur beschrieben. Das Ziel vieler Touristen ist bestimmte Bilder, die man wo gesehen hat, zu reproduzieren. Dabei kommt es zur Übernutzung von bestimmten öffentlichen Räumen, während nur ein, zwei Straßen weiter alles leer ist.

Es gibt übrigens einen Zusammenhang zwischen Informiertheit der Besucher und ihren Bewegungsmustern: Informierte Touristen haben einen größeren Bewegungsradius, uninformierte einen kleinen - teilweise beschränkt er sich auf die ein, zwei bekannten Punkte in einer Stadt (im extremsten Ausmaß wissen Touristen, die Pauschalreisen gebucht haben, wo sie UNESCO-Städte in Europa abklappern und sich immer nur wenige Stunden in der jeweiligen Stadt aufhalten, nicht einmal, wo sie sich gerade befinden).

Warum ist diese Art von Tourismus problematisch? Für die Stadt entstehen viele Kosten - Müllentsorgung, Platzprobleme wegen Verkehr, diversifizierter Einzelhandel schließt (was die örtliche Wirtschaft noch abhängiger vom Tourismus macht), Einwohner ziehen weg, ... etc. Einnahmen gibt es hingegen nur sehr begrenzt, weil die Leute nicht in den Städten essen, übernachten, Kulturangebote nutzen oä sonst aussteigen, Kühlschrankmagnet kaufen und wieder fahren (überspitzt formuliert).

Lösungsansätze gibt es natürliche viele - aus meiner Sicht am effizientesten wäre in diesem speziellen Fall, die Internalisierung externer Kosten über die Vergebührung der Massentransportmittel: Die problematische Entwicklung ist in Hallstatt und in anderen Städten an bestimmte Verkehrsmittel geknüpft: In Hallstatt oder Cesky Krumlov (die Stadt, die ich mir genauer angesehen habe) sind es die Reisebusse, in Venedig und Dubrovnik die Kreuzfahrtschiffe ... Diese erzeugen in sehr kurzer Zeit einen extremen Nutzungsdruck, weil sie viele Leute für nur kurze Zeit in die Stadt bringen können. Es ist lächerlich, wenn man sich ansieht, wie viel die zB Parkgebühren zahlen. Wenn ich Bürgermeisterin einer solcher Stadt wäre, würde ich für Tagestouristen geschmalzene Preise (um Kosten, die die öffentliche Hand hat zu kompensieren und außerdem schlicht und einfach die Zahl der Besucher zu reduzieren). Und so Mehrwert für die ansässige Bevölkerung und Touristen, die länger bleiben schaffen. Für die ist ja eine so eine Situation auch nicht lustig und bleiben zunehmen weg --> ein Teufelskreis.

Recht gut wird diese Phänomen in dieser Doku (ORF) dargestellt: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SlPF7lK9dMU

Ehrlich gesagt sieht sogar die Counterstrike Global Offensive map mit dem Namen Austria irgendwie so aus wie das Bild im Winter

Die Drohnenflüge in dem Video sind grösstenteils illegal. Mit einer Mavic über besiedeltem Gebiet ist „nicht genehmigungsfähig“ (weil sie nur 4 Rotoren hat und damit nicht mehr kontrollierbar ist, wenn einer davon ausfällt) Als jemand der sich die Mühe macht sich an die Gesetze zu halten finde ich das halt Oasch, dass der einfach so mal seine Drohne starten kann ohne auch nur eine Sekunde zu überlegen ob das an diesem Ort überhaupt möglich ist

Hab mir schon öfters gedacht das Bad Gastein das Potential hat das nächste Hallstatt zu werden

this photo it's a town in Austria super old like people have been mining the saltier since thousands of years BC the town sits here nestled in the Austrian Alps the lake the surroundings it's also beautiful maybe you've seen this town in a picture before I know I have like a million times seriously I've seen this photo so many times it's the screensaver on my in-laws Apple TV I see it in travel magazines and no matter the weather I see it on Instagram it's everywhere this town this photo rather has become a cliche to me every photo taken from the same place from the same angle this place is not a place to me it's just a symbol a single dimensional caricature seared into my brain through so many exposures to this one angle maybe this isn't the case for you maybe you've never seen this photo before but if you like to travel like I do certainly you have places like this the spots you always see in photos as you scroll the places that if you travel to you would just have to take that one photo from that one angle that same angle repeated a million times by a million visitors so I went to this town why not sure really maybe just because it's beautiful maybe I wanted this classic photo for myself regardless of the motive as I drove closer to this place I couldn't quiet this burning curiosity what is this place outside of being an Instagram cliche is it really a quiet village in the Alps as the photo promises no it's not this place is called hallstatt it's an idyllic village that was once known for salt mining but now the town lives on only one economy and it's the economy of people who come here to take this photo buses of tourists show up here to bustle through the Main Street on their way to this spot where they can cram in and take this picture I think is said it best it's so darling so crowded so darling so crowded so darling Oh why do you even travel in the first place what makes you spend your money to leave your familiar surroundings sit on an airplane and trek into unknown places more and more people travel for this to seek out these iconic places where they can show that they too are part of the club but for me travelling for this would be like buying a beautiful Persian rug and then covering most of it with a paint cloth the part left uncover is beautiful but it's just a tiny piece of the whole thing it's just on the edge what if you did things differently if you decided to break away from the tour buses and go in any direction from this town you'll certainly find a quiet road near a mountain that no one's ever heard of and then you'll walk through a quiet forest that no one's ever talked about on the Internet [Music] you'll stay in a cabin far away from any top destinations list and it'll be quiet [Music] you'll drive and drive and you'll go to towns that you didn't plan on going to and see beautiful things you didn't expect to see stuff you've never seen while scrolling online [Music] you'll stop in towns that aren't this one and you'll eat lunch at a place that is frequented by people who live in that town the restaurant and the food that it serves may not make the best social content but it'll be quiet more closely connected to this place these people you'll probably have a better conversation here than in a place where you're fighting with other tourists for a table [Music] you'll take weird turns and go on adventures not really knowing which way to turn because there's no guidebook for this part you'll wander and discover places that have been forgotten where no one's pointing a camera lens and it'll be a buzz a delight you cannot die [Music] not this kind of buzz a different kind of buzz there's always a quiet road somewhere that needs exploring why not break away and go explore it now there's certainly nothing wrong with taking this picture do it edit it up get those photos on the internet tell your friends that you did it you stood in this place studies show that you get a nice hit of happy Chemical to your brain when you do it but when I'm driving on that quiet road puzzling over the mysteries of this place their people their language the mountains the rivers the trees that is what feeds me in the end I'm grateful this town exists it's beautiful its history is beautiful but this isn't the whole package and in fact I'm certain that the best parts of a place life far away from here on your own quiet road waiting to be explored [Music] I want to be clear about something which is that I'm not trying to judge anyone here this is not me trying to condemn if someone enjoys traveling a certain way I made this video because I wanted to have a little bit of a reflection for myself on why I travel and how these iconic places fit into that and this is the result so no judgement enjoy your time and your travel however you want to your life also I want to say it the music in this video which I love was produced by Tom Fox he's a guy who's been making music for me he's super good and he's he does the cynthy stuff he does all this amazing work I'm gonna leave his link in the description should go check him out thank you for watching lots more to come [Music]
