The travel industry is booming with millions more people holidaying abroad each year. In this second episode of The Tourist Trap, Rajan Datar explores the impact of climate change on tourism, alternatives to air travel and what can be done to protect places from the impact of mass tourism. He talks to two British tourists who escaped the wildfires in Greece last summer and its impact on their future holiday plans. He hears how two very different people have given up plane travel. He visits the beautiful Alpine countryside of Bohinj in Slovenia as it tries to protect its way of life from the impact of over-tourism. Rajan then takes the night train from Venice to Vienna to see if that鈥檚 a comfortable and convenient alternative to flying.
