Green Tourism
Alternative to Mass Tourism
Whereas a few decades ago many countries on this earth could be reached under the most difficult conditions only, an unlimited number of travel destinations all over the world are open to people today. Package tours, long-haul flights even to the most distant regions, are available to almost anyone willing to travel. Tourism today is a major economic sector offering many people worldwide varied and rewarding jobs and enables every average consumer to get to know different cultures and their foreign customs and traditions. Tourism is very often considered a panacea for the economic development in rural, structurally weak regions. But it has also a lot of disadvantages for the regions and their populations because mass tourism always contributes to high negative impacts on nature, people and the environment.

Internet Addiction
The film consists of two parts. The first part is the 15-minute short film “In the Net”. It describes the problem of excessive Internet use in a humorous way, in particular the risk of losing touch with reality when chatting. The second part illustrates with three real persons how Internet addiction can develop and the problems encountered by those who are afflicted. The authentic statements are commented by an experienced therapist. For many pupils, the issues addressed here are related to their everyday lives. What is a “sensible” use of the Internet, where does pathological addiction start? In contrast to addiction to alcohol, nicotine or drugs, the public seems to be largely ignorant of the problem of this addiction, which is not related to any substance abuse. The film provides material for discussion in the classroom (crossdisciplinary) and can be used as a basis for the formulation of prevention strategies.
