Aboard the sinking Titanic

130 enormous hotels. Built to satisfy the demand for all-inclusive luxury vacations. Spread along the Midetterenian coast in Hammamed Tunisia. Outdated. Irrelevant. Many are already abandoned. Some are not even finished. Disturbing images of giant buildings with no soul in sight impacted me so much that I could not stop but think about how short-term-oriented we are. We build ourselves not hotels but real "mausoleums" dressed in marble. We hide there behind thick walls. Eat till we explode. Go to SPAs. Let other human beings be our servants. And think this is happiness. But is it? As I see it it is not. We go down and we take our precious planet with us. In April 2023 my trip to Tunisia took an unusual course after the agent made a mistake in the program. I was trapped in this 5-star hotel in Hammamed, with my family. And we were there alone. At first, we thought it was due to Ramadan. But then I realized that it was not the only reason. And that this is only the beginning of something bigger than that. A serious economic crisis in the country of Tunisia. 3 years without rain. And in the overall crisis in the world are to blame. Empty restaurants, abandoned bars, and areas of the property that are clearly out of service forever. High gates and security. And many kilometers of land. waisted beneath those "sinking Titanics".
