That CATL is going to employ 2,000 people in Zaragoza is good news. The problem is that they are going to be brought from China

by

“There are Chinese manufacturers in Europe that assemble cars with Chinese components and Chinese personnel. It happens in Spain and Hungary, and it is not right.” This is the statement of Stéphane SéjournéVice President of Prosperity and Industrial Strategy of the European Commission, in light of the way some Chinese manufacturers proceed to avoid tariffs on electric car that comes from China. Evidence that Europe is not happy with the “removable” kits from Chinese manufacturers. There are companies that have a magnifying glass on their projects in Spain. CATL, with its 4.1 billion euro plant, is one of them. Now, his vice president has justified why its 2,000 employees will be Chinese. Removable kits. The tariffs came into effect at the end of last year for those electric cars not only from Chinese manufacturers, but that are manufactured in China. The Tesla Gigafactory in Shanghai either Europeans would also be included. What Europe seeks with these tariffs is to persuade manufacturers to establish themselves in the EU and create value in the points where they install themselves. Well: shortly after the tariffs began to be applied, the news broke that there were Chinese companies that were assembling their cars in Europe, yes, but they were not manufacturing them here. How did they do it? With removable kits. All work on key parts of the vehicle is done in China, where practically the entire car is assembled and then disassembled and the parts sent to the destination countries. They do it without wheels or steering wheel, but with all the critical parts, which are reassembled in factories in other countries. Europe did not look favorably on this measure and already raised an eyebrow, but more recently, both Séjourné and other European manufacturers –Josep María Recasens, president of Renault Spain– they raised the hare. Recasens directly stated that Chinese manufacturers are making “four plates with wheels.” Figueruelas Plant. There are plants that plan to change their way of acting in the short term, but what some point out is that this harms the area in which these companies are located. SEAT, for example, gives work to 15,000 people in Martorell, generating thousands of indirect jobs around it. And it is common: the manufacturer employs directly, but also generates work in the surrounding areas because logistics, auxiliary industries and local suppliers come into play. Another key point in this controversy is the factory that CATL wants to build in Zaragoza. It will be the result of a joint venture between CATL and Stellantis, with a investment of 4.1 billion euros which will be used to create LFP batteries. It is scheduled to begin production in 2026 and is expected to generate 3,000 direct jobs. The problem is that 2,000 of those workers They will come directly from China. CATL’s position. That would not meet the European Union’s desire to create wealth directly on the land on which they are established, but Meng Xiangfeng, vice president of CATL, has spoken out on the matter. It was during the COP30 climate summit held in Brazil where the manager was forceful: “it is not that we are not willing to hire local workers, it is that we need experienced technicians to build and perfect the production lines and start up the equipment.” According to Meng, they are not seeking to replace local employment, but rather to start the plant in the best possible way by requiring specialized knowledge. “During this process, we will train local workers so that they can gradually take over the operation,” assured. “You can’t come to Europe and build four plates with wheels and seats with little added value. We didn’t do it like that when we went to China, they shouldn’t do it when they come to Europe” – Josep María Recasens Local wealth. It’s no small feat: CATL is one of the leading companies when it comes to powering new energy vehicles and was one of those on the table during the debacle of the European Northvolt. In addition to Figueruelas, the company has another plant on European soil, in Erfurt, Germany. It was CATL’s first outside of China and the executive assured that the procedure at the Spanish plant will be the same as that already applied on German soil and will be applied at the other European plant in Hungary. Like BYD. and technology transfer. Once the plant is at full capacity, it will be possible to assess the extent to which the local wealth sought by the European Commission is created, but in addition to that issue, the issue of technology transfer is up in the air. Companies are jealous of their creations, and it is logical, but the president of Renault has a reason for Europe to force Chinese manufacturers to “teach us.” When Western manufacturers entered China, the country forced them to partner with local companies to produce on its soil. As a result of that knowledge we have cars like the MG4 Electricbut also the new Renault Twingo made in Shanghai and Japanese Mazda 6e developed by Changan in China. And what is sought is for that knowledge to be shared. As we say, we will see what happens, but Figuerelas will be a complicated case because those 2,000 employees who will come from China will practically double the current census of inhabitants of the municipality.

Not even the world championship of stones in Scotland escapes scandals: they have brought false stones

by

The world championship to throw stones into the water exists and, curiously, is not in a United States in which its competitions are “worldwide.” If there is Mobile repairthat of collect trash from the street or that of Microsoft Excelof course there was going to be something like that. It is celebrated in Scotland, and hundreds of participants demonstrate their expertise every year as you expect: throwing stones into the water to see who gets more rebounds. The problem is that there are those who even cheat. And it has been a scandal. Tradition. He World Stone Skimming Championshipsby its official name in English, it is a tournament that has been held since 1983 on the island of EasdaleScotland, after two people came up with the idea … taking something in a pub. As usually happens with picturesque quotes, the event was born as a punctual celebration, but little by little the thing became serious until it was institutionalized in 1997. Since then, it has become an annual tradition and an attraction that attracts hundreds of tourists. There are rules. Traditionally, the appointment is celebrated in September in a flooded quarry that was an exploitation of slate. The island It has a population of about 60 people, but during the competition, it is multiplied by both the participants and the curious. And although it consists of throwing stones, there are rules and categories. The first thing is that it is divided by sexes and age, where they can participate to over 60 years. Each participant has three releases to make only natural slate stones that find the island. They cannot exceed three inches in diameter (just over seven and a half centimeters) and the competition is simple: the stones must throw two or three times (something that is marked at the beginning of the competition) on the water without leaving a specific area. There are few jumps because the rebounds are not measured, but the distance traveled by the stone. Seeing them throwing is a true show, especially because of the huge distance traveled between the first rebound and the next. A party. And the competitors take it seriously: they train for it and the releases are prepared well, but in the end it is a great party with an atmosphere in which there is music, food and the awards are commemorative, but not in metallic. It is an event to, above all, generate funds for the local community. 15,000 pounds last year. Remember those Activities that villages of empty Spain are taken out of the manga to value its surroundings and generate funds that allow covering expenses in the town. Cheats. That is why he has caught the attention that, in this year’s edition, some contestants cheated. And you will wonder “How can you cheat in something like that?” In an episode of ‘The Simpsons’ Of the last seasons, Homer uses stones tied to a rope that Bart drags from the other side. It is nothing so elaborate. To enforce the stone diameter limit, the organization has something baptized as the ‘ring of truth’, a tool through which the stone with which it will compete to verify that the size is correct is passed. That tool has a skinny point: it measures the diameter, but not the shape or any possible modification. During the competition, Thursday and other players They detected Something weird in some stones: they were too perfect, so they began to review more exhaustively, discovering that several had been polished to achieve more symmetrical forms and improve the physical characteristics of the rock. First of all, it’s a party Uneasiness. That has sat as a jug of cold water both among the honest competitors and between the attendees and the local community, precisely, so we commented on some lines: the atmosphere is, above all, festive, so they did not imagine that someone began to polish stones that were, they were from Easdale, but illegal. Kyle Mathews is one of the organizers and “official teacher” of stone launch and commented to The New York Times That there was something ‘honest’ in this story. When he contacted the suspects, they all immediately admitted what they had done and accepted the punishment of disqualification. He also removed iron into the matter by commenting that it was “flattering” that someone took the competition so seriously. Note for the future. And the truth is that it has not been badly resolved. Lucy Wood has the Guinness record The one that accumulates the most victories in this World Cup, also told NYT that it was surprised by how well the matter had been resolved. “You wouldn’t see something like that in many sports,” he said. And the truth is that people do take the competition seriously: only last year, 2,000 people registered online to get one of the 400 seats, which sold out in less than three minutes. This year, more than 2,000 attended to contemplate the event (imagine the life they can give to the island) and there are players who point to growing competitive pressure due to what is growing. The question of what they will do if this happens again has an easy answer: to grant pre -approved stones to the competitors. So, you know: if you have a lake nearby and discover that you are good by throwing stones, maybe next September you can find the glory in Scotland.

An educational plan asked to transform teaching with AI. The problem is that it brought a dozen invented sources

by

The story has some irony: a report of more than 400 pages about education, which took a year and a half to be written in a province of Canada, has been uncovered with a crack difficult to repair. According to CBC Newsthe document contains a variety of false sources, from alleged academic articles to a film that never existed. The contradiction is striking: a text designed to guide schools and universities in times of AI, indicated precisely for an error that reminds of the “hallucinations” of the generative models themselves. What has happened exactly. The document in question is titled ‘A VISION FOR THE FUTURE: TRANS Transforming and Modernizing Education‘. It was presented at the end of August as a ten -year roadmap to transform public and university education into Terranova and Labrador. Its launch was accompanied by great expectations: to serve as a guide for the future of the education system in a province that seeks to adapt to the digital age and the challenges of artificial intelligence. What was not expected is that, after its publication, it would be discovered that at least fifteen of its bibliographic references do not exist. We can find titles impossible to locate in academic databases and that, in some cases, seem copied to fictional examples used in style guides. This finding opened an immediate debate about the reliability of the report and on the supervision of the process that led to its writing. Official reactions contained. The Department of Education recognized the existence of a small number of possible errors in the appointments and assured that they will be corrected in the online version. One of the co -author, Karen Goodnough, just pointed out in an email to the aforementioned medium that “references are being investigated and reviewed, without giving interviews with local media. Today, however, access to the report itself has been complicated: the original link in which it was published He no longer shows it and returns an error 404. Only remains visible in a filed copy. Invented appointments. Among the most striking examples is the mention of an alleged 2008 film produced by the National Film Board, entitled ‘Schoolyard Games’. The agency itself confirmed that this work never existed. The reference, however, appears in the report with all the details of a real bibliographic record, as if it were a verifiable source. The track led to discover something even more disturbing: The appointment matches word by word with an entry included in a university style guide used as a model to write bibliographies. That manual explicitly warns that many of its references are fictitious and are designed only as examples. Despite this, some ended up integrated in the final document as if they were authentic. It is striking because the document not only speaks of AI, but also reserves a specific chapter: use it to customize the teaching, support teachers and simplify administrative processes, while driving competencies in AI, responsible practices and protection of privacy. In its “Calls to Transformion” it proposes to modernize the school system and prepare students for a digital environment where these technologies will be part of the day to day. Was the generative used? The finding of false quotes opened another inevitable question: to what extent did artificial intelligence intervene in the preparation of the report? According to CBC News, some teachers fear that these references have been created with a language model, since these types of systems usually generate plausible titles that do not actually exist, but for now there are no conclusive evidence.

One of the greatest consultants has brought the war against teleworking to the extreme: a “traffic light” to control

by

PricewaterhouseCoopers multinational consultant (PWC) decided A little less than a year ago than The 100% Teleworking Era had ended. He joined the decisions that had adopted competitive companies such as EY. The striking of the movement were its conditions: it would geolocate their teleworkors to control that they were going to the office 60% of the day, the minimum amount that it now demanded (after having requested 40% until that moment). Now, thanks to Financial Times We know how they are carrying out control in their offices in the United Kingdom. Traffic lights. PWC measures have not only fallen into broken bag, but have intensified. Since April, the company is registering in a control panel the assistance and if the three days they demand at the week are passed in the office. To control compliance more visually, the company has established an indicator based on traffic light colors. Those employees who meet have a “green” in their state. The profile of those that drops from 60% has an amber, and those that fall from 40% have a red. In addition to the workers themselves, supervisors, heads of business units and directors have access to this traffic light. Thorough control. To verify that the employees go to the offices (OA meetings with customers, outside them), the company is carrying out a monitoring of the location of the wifi connections of the laptops. The data that is collected following this control is intended with the assistance or absence indicated in Workday, the software used for human resources issues, and in the personnel control sheets. In addition to the WiFi, PWC also has control of when employees pass their cards as an signing to enter and leave the offices. Policies against the old trick. The verification of assistance based on the entry and exit signings is something that many companies have carried out. Those employees who wanted to try to skip that control did something simple, according to a study: 58% of the workers employed under a hybrid work system went to the office, signed and then they left. Amazon already ended this picaresque establishing a minimum time to go to the office. Hey also reinforced Its access policies with lathes Checking that 50% of some teams breached the demands for assistance to their facilities. The control based on Wi -Fi connections is the brooch to these policies. Consequences. The question is what happens to employees who have a red or amber in their traffic light. And the internal guide for employees to which the Financial Times has accessed is clear: they face formal sanctions and a reduction of their performance in evaluations, where extra bonuses are played to their base salary. That same guide includes special exceptions or permits for family or disease reasons. Employee reactions. PWC workers are complaining so much about this scrutiny that a high -rank worker has told the Financial Times that he has lost his account of how many complaints he received. Employees are restless about tracking methods, and seek more transparency since the pressure to be fulfilled rose. It goes in the line of the best qualified employees in companies of the S&P 500: Rotation triggered by imposing face -to -face. According to a study by McKinsey, return to the office It is not enough to improve productivity. A company spokesman said that the control panel “guarantees that our people have easy access to their assistance data, so that they can manage and plan their time in a way that works for them, our equipment and our clients.” The paradox. The ‘Big Four’ have been serious with the return to the office, but they have always been in the spotlight of the management of extra hours, and Work fined them in Spain for having lacked time registration (mandatory by law since 2019) and for excess of day. The macro -inspection ended, at least 1.4 million euros that had to pay for different circumstances for social security fees.

The motorcycle fever of the 2,000 has brought to the absurd the price of the second hand. There are more expensive than 20 years ago

by

The price of second -hand cars It has been triggered for yearsand it is more than usual to find models that cost more today than new four or five years ago. It is a sector that is not alone. The second -hand motorcycle is more expensive than everand it is not necessary to point to especially exclusive editions. Some are selling at exorbitant prices, although with a certain trick. The lucky one. The Honda CBR1000RR-R Fireblade It is one of the icons of the sports motorcycle. Even more in its Repsol version, painted with the colors of the MotoGP team. It was an especially expensive motorcycle, that was sold for 11,799 dollarsabout 14,000 euros in Spain. Inflation has made its own and, 20 years later, this model is sold (the current CBR1000RR-R Fireblade) is sold for 25,500 euros, a price in the line of what the great Japanese manufacturers ask for for their supercar. The price. The revaluation of a unit in perfect condition of this Honda is shocking. One of them was sold in the London Motorcycle Show for 22,000 pounds, just over 26,000 euros to change. In Motorpasion Moto They echo a second unit, with an estimated price of between 10,000 and 15,000 pounds, waiting for a new owner. He never started. To achieve these figures that exceed the original price, some requirements must be met, some of them especially complex. These units are sold as an old concessionaire stock: they have never been started, conducted or enrolled. They are motorcycles with 20 years on their backs, but without use. It’s not just nostalgia. The fever for the 2,000 superbikes is real, and there is nothing more to see the revaluation of most models in Platforms such as Milanuncios. Motorcycles of 20 years ago with prices that touch the 10,000 euros if the unit is in excellent condition and with “few” kilometers. They are motorcycles specially oriented to circuit, they do not have electronics or the restrictions on emissions of current models, and are seen as authentic candies to enjoy driving in their purest state. Beyond the sports motorcycle. Finding second -hand units almost at the same price as new units is not something exclusive to the supercar motorcycle. According to Anesdor datathe average price of the general motorcycle has risen 30% in the last five years. And, to a higher displacement, greater increase in the price. Despite the slightest attraction in the occasion market, in Spain two occasion motorcycles are sold for each new motorcycle, with an annual growth trend that is around 5% year -on -year.

Mr. Beast has brought his extreme tourism videos inside the Mayan ruins in Mexico. That is a problem for ruins

by

Mrbeast It is the most important youtuber and followed in the world, and virtually any idea it has to generate content in its channel becomes a trend. Millionaire contests, spectacular challenges, philanthropic maneuvers … and now, adventure tourism. One of his last adventures has been to pass One hundred hours in an old Mayan temple two thousand years old. It is an idea with a peculiar dark side. One night in the temple. In the video we can see how Mrbeast wanders inside several Mayan pyramids, among other Chichén Itzá. Accompanied by an native guide, which reinforces its promotional character for the powerful tourism business in Mexico, sleeps in the jungle, and can touch funeral masks of the kings buried in the area. A privilege that is not at the scope of any tourist. A superstar. With almost 400 million followers and more than 82,000 million visualizations, no one doubts that Mrbeast is The most important youtuber in the world. The average video display on its channel is about 100 million, although it already has many exceeding 200. The income of your channel They can exceed four million dollars, not counting sponsorships or agreements. An authentic icon of the platform that is largely responsible for the spectacularization of Influencers: Always looking for the most extreme challenge, the most shocking image and the most unexpected trip. The spectacularization of YouTube. This spectacularization of the content is very clear in the titles of its last videos: ‘Would you risk drowning for $ 500,000?‘, I survived 7 days in an abandoned city, I survived the 5 most mortal places on earth… It is a radicalization of the content that is not only in the subject, but in the visual: climbing assemblies, a lot of noise and screams, many careers, a dynamic that stuns and that Keep the spectator dopamine by the clouds. Extreme tourism. Mrbeast exploits a new form of telematic tourism that is hooking millions of viewers by making these trips to remote places, often giving them an adventurous narrative: these trips are often linked to extreme challenges or tests, and have turned tourism into an experience that can be digitally consumed. For example, a few months ago we talked about Fabio Belnome and his trip in a 1998 Fiat to Japan. But there are many more in different social networks: the mountaineer @Nimsdaithe urban explorer @Shieyfreedom or the traveler to high -risk countries @drew_binsky. Thanks to them, the hashtag #tikToktravel, for example, has More than 23,000 million views. The dark side. However, there is a dark side in videos such as Mrbaest Chichén Itzá. In 2024, the Secretariat of Tourist Development of Yucatán reported that he expected the arrival of 6.7 million tourists, more than double those that arrived in the last year pre-pandemic. It is an area to which tourism provides 90% of its income. The controversial Mayan train. To promote and facilitate tourism, projects such as Mayan traina transport that will travel relevant areas of the Mayan zone, with special attention to serve tourism, connecting airports in a space of 1500 kilometers. But the authorities are concerned about Environmental impact of the pharaonic López Obrador project. For example, the works have been arrested in the area of ​​the Riviera Maya, one of the most frequented by tourists. The impact is more than studied in what affects caves, temples and other protected areas, and Even Unesco has intervened. The double track. Mexico is, in this way, before a dilemma: the content of Mrbeast is sponsored, as the video credits affirm, by the Tourism Secretariat of Mexicoin collaboration with institutions such as the National Institute of Anthropology and History. But at the same time, the massification of tourism is eroding archaeological treasures such as these temples, in a dilemma of which perhaps the great travel and adventure youtubers will have to begin to take responsibility in the future.

A Peruvian farmer has seen a glacier from the Andes melts. So he has brought a German energy to trial

by

The Peruvian farmer Saúl Luciano Lliuya has observed how Lake Palcacocha grows every year in Huaraz. This situation has caused the farmer issue for the overflow of the lake and ends affecting his community. However, instead of resigning, he has decided to take those responsible for this situation to court. An unprecedented case. Saul Luciano Lliuya has sued the RWE energy company before the German courts. In its demand, Lliuya has argued that this company is the one that emits the most issuance contributing to climate change, accelerating the melting of glaciers in its hometown, putting its habitability at risk, according to has collected Associated Press. The demand. Supported by the activist group Germanwatchthe Peruvian farmer wants RWE to pay around 17,000 euros ($ 18,520) for a flood defense project, according to He has reported Reuters. 10 years ago. The filing of the lawsuit was in 2015 in Germany and, two years later, the courts accepted it, According to EFE. During all these years, evidence has been collected to determine whether there is a direct relationship between RWE emissions and the risk of flooding in Huaraz. In addition, the trial has prolonged because the German company has used legal strategies, arguing that the responsibility for climate change cannot be attributed to a single issuer, such as They have explained to Associated Press. The defendant. The energy company has denied its responsibility on multiple occasions. From the company, have affirmed for DW that climate change is a global problem caused by multiple factors and that it is not possible to legally attribute its effects to a single entity. In addition, for the same medium, they have declared that if there is such claim according to German legislation, all drivers should also be considered responsible, and that it is a socio -political error. The evaluations. Among the collection of information that is being gathered for the trial, there is a 2014 study conducted by Greenpeace and the Climate Justice Program, in which RWE held RWE for 0.47% of global greenhouse gas emissions since the beginning of industrialization. In addition, different researchers have shown that greenhouse gas emissions have a direct impact on the melting of glaciers in the Andes, such as have detailed in The Guardian. Regarding the glacier, this has been melting in these last 36 years for climate change, according to A study by Nature magazine. Although this is not the only evidence, another scientific research has shown that the water level in Lake Palcacoha It has increased Since 1990. This situation can raise the risk of an avalanche, similar to what devastated Huaraz in 1941 and caused the death of 1,800 people. The beginning of the trial. On Monday, March 17, the trial began and, As Efe has advancedthe lawyer of Lliuya, Roda Verheyen, explained that if sentence is issued in the next session, scheduled for April 14, the necessary precedent will be obtained to go after other great pollutants.

A Japanese restaurant has brought its obsession with fresh fish to the extreme: it allows you to fish yourself

by

Visiting Japan is immersing yourself in a country where the traditional and modern coexist in harmony. Its big cities combine futuristic skyscrapers and streets full of neon lights with millenary temples that have resisted the passage of time. In any walk through its streets, it is inevitable to find restaurants where fish is the absolute protagonist. And it’s no accident: in Japan, Fish has been a pillar of its gastronomy for centuries. Here, the menu is not requested, fishing. If you think you’ve seen everything about freshness, Japan always has more to offer. There are restaurants where chefs personally select the best fish on the market every day, but what if instead of waiting for them to serve you, is you who fish it? In Osaka, about five hours from the center of Tokyo, there is a place where the menu is not chosen, it is captured at the time. Our protagonist bears the name of “ジャンボ釣船つり吉”, which could be translated into Spanish as “Great Tsurikichi fishing ship.” As we can see in Google Maps screen capture, it is far from the bustle of the great avenues of the Asian city, and is immediately distinguished by its facade decorated with a fishing boat and posters with large Japanese characters that tell us what we will find inside. As explained on your websitewhen crossing the restaurant door the first thing will be to check the letter and choose the fish we want. Once decided, the staff will give us the right equipment, be it a fishing cane or a salabre, and will guide us to the fishing area. In that pond, where fish swim outside of their destiny, true experience begins. They assure that it is an apt challenge for all ages. After fishing, it is time to enjoy food in one of the four rooms available. We can choose between Tatami type seats in a ship -shaped area or, if we prefer something more conventional, tables with western -style chairs. Now, suppose we are ready to live this experience. How much will it cost us? It is time to take a look at the letter and calculate the budget. How much does this experience cost? When planning the expense, the first thing we should consider is that the price is based on the entire fish that we catch. Thus, a red kissing costs 3,124 yen (about 19.50 euros), a sole has a price of 2,840 yen (approximately 18 euros) and a listing juris rises to 4,980 yen (around 31 euros). Once the piece fish, we must choose how we want to prepare it to us, which is an additional cost. For example, a frying with Ponzu adds 300 yen (about 1.90 euros) to the final price. In addition, if we want to accompany our dish with seafood, we must take into account that they do not have a fixed price. In this case, the staff will weigh and inform us of the cost before preparing them. Marketing, Tourism and Gastronomy. It is no secret that Japanese gastronomy is rich and diverse, with fish and rice as fundamental pillars for centuries. However, many of the dishes that we consider today representative of Japan, and that have crossed borders, are not the result of a centenary tradition, but of relatively recent adaptations. Without going any further, until the 1990s, no one in Japan ate sushi with raw salmon. It was a marketing campaign that made it a standard, more than an entrenched custom. But tourists continue to come in mass in Japan in search of a unique experience. And there is no doubt that the country has much to offer, especially in the gastronomic field. However, not everything is good news, neither for the premises nor for those who visit it. An ingredient as essential as rice suffered a remarkable crisis: in full tourist boom, The shortage shot prices and led some restaurants to pay anything to stock up. When what matters is the show. Eating typical dishes in Japan has its charm, but restaurants have found ways to go further, especially when the goal is to attract tourists willing to spend on experiences. The possibility of fishing your own food in a place set as a ship is not only a gastronomic option, but a claim designed to turn dinner into a show that seduces both visitors and premises. {“Videid”: “X8D7XNV”, “Autoplay”: False, “Title”: “Tricks to travel cheaper- Drinking tea is something that can be done anywhere in the world, But attending a tea ceremony is another story. In Japan, this ritual has become an attraction for tourists looking for more than a simple infusion. The experience is not limited to drinking tea, but extends for hours, with different varieties and meals included. Something that originally had a deep cultural significance is now also sold as an experience for the visitor wanting to spend. But the show does not end there. If tea is not enough, there are always more options to live Japan in a big way: geisha shows perfectly choreographed for the tourist, high exhibitions where tradition and show intermingle, and the Bunraku puppet theater, a cultural element that continues to find its place in a country where more and more things become attractions for the photo. A HAND FOR MOUNT FUJI. To promote other forms of tourism in Japan could be one of the keys to decongest Mount Fuji, a place that for centuries was a symbol of spirituality and personal improvement, but today dealt with massification and its consequences. What was previously an intimate journey has become a crowded tour of hikers, with tails on the top and an environment that is increasingly feeling the weight of uncontrolled tourism. In Xataka Japan has put a spicy in Spain in a peculiar way: with a "Madrid Osaka" In a town of 93 inhabitants To mitigate the impact, The government has begun to take action: daily visitor limits have been established and an online reservation system has been … Read more
