00:00An exhibition at the European Parliament in Brussels is shedding light on tourism projects from European countries
00:07with positive impacts on nature, locals or the economy.
00:12Along the North Sea coast of Germany, tourists can purchase a passport to collect stamps at museums and nature spots
00:19with QR codes giving information on the impact of climate change in the region, revenues, finance, tree planting.
00:26We try to protect our nature because that's the base of all the tourism in our region along the North Sea coast of Germany.
00:36So we need to protect it and that's a way to involve all the tourists and they protect the nature as well now.
00:44In Greece, adopted systems built on beaches make the sea accessible to people with reduced mobility.
00:50The sea track is the first product ever, the first solution that ever introduced to the world
00:56that gives the ability to those who are facing mobility issues to go to the sea without any help on their own.
01:02So they can stroll around the beach, they can swim, but the sea track is the key point that gives them the access to the water
01:12without any help, without needing someone else to enjoy the sea water.
01:16In a protected Serbian nature reserve, a rare cheese made out of donkey milk is sold only on site to attract tourists.
01:24Lots of people come and see a special, come to our reserve especially for the cheese and for the donkeys.
01:30So we try to reinvest those funds that we give, that we got from the tourism into the nature reserve,
01:38into the conservation of the nature.
01:40The European Commission is expected to publish its EU strategy for tourism this year
01:48to address tourists' over concentration, labour shortages gaps and reduce the sector's environmental footprints.
