Welcome back.
The EASE… in pandemic-related… travel restrictions… and… the ENSUING surge… in travelers… to popular tourist destinations… has… RE-DIRECTED… the spotlight onto… a growing global dilemma.
ON VIEW POINT… today… we address… OVERTOURISM.
For more… I have Professor JERRY AGRUSA… at the University of Hawaii at MANOA.
Professor AGRUSA… a warm welcome… to you.
I also have Professor UMER ZAMAN… at the ENDICOTT COLLEGE of International Studies.
Professor ZAMAN… it’s a pleasure.

1) Professor Agrusa… for the sake of clarity… perhaps we could start… with a definition… of the word… “overtourism”.
How would you do define it?

2) And Professor Zaman… here in South Korea… which local tourist destinations face… overtourism… and how severe… is the situation… here… as compared to places… elsewhere?

3) Professor Agrusa… what can you tell us… about overtourism… in Hawaii… and its repercussions… there?

4) Professor Zaman… some say… the pandemic has served… to raise… greater awareness… about overtourism.
Do you agree?

5) Professor Agrusa… efforts… to address… overtourism… are taking tangible shape… in quite a number of popular travel destinations… including… Hawaii.
That being said… what can you share… with us… about… the REGENERATIVE tourism campaign… in Hawaii?

6) Now… Professor Zaman… … I understand… REGENERATIVE tourism seeks… to tackle… THREE impacts… of tourism… namely its environmental… economic… and social consequences.
Could you tell us a bit… about the economic aspect… and… efforts to address it?

7) Professor Agrusa… what would be… the social ramifications of overtourism… and ways to overcome them… under the REGENERATIVE campaign?

8) Professor Zaman… if South Korea were… to implement… the REGENERATIVE tourism campaign… where would you advise… it… be implemented… and what methods… would you recommend?

9) Professor Agrusa… what are your thoughts… on Venice’s planned adoption… of tourist fees… for day travelers… to its city?

10) Professor Zaman… are there any other options… to ensure… a sustainable and pleasurable travel experience… to a foreign place?
All right.
