Truly amazing place to visit and looking forward to the next. #nanotourism #europe #travel #covidsilverlings (at Mauzolej Petra Iı Petrovića Njegoša - Lovćen) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFG-psYIp75/?igshid=h8hi31y5pqo7

The concept of nanotourism stands in critical and creative opposition to the ecological, economic, and social effects of dominant mass tourism. It’s defined as a location-specific,
participative, and locally oriented bottom-up alternative that motivates exchange between providers and travelers through co-creative approaches and knowledge transfer. The exhibition showed various forms of this kind of tourism, which international designers, architects, and institutions, inspired by the AA nanotourism Visiting School and BIO – Biennial of Design in Ljubljana, have initiated since 2014.

AA Nanotourism Visiting School
The experimental AA nanotourism Visiting School courses have been run for past 4 years in Slovenia and France. Each year a different international group of students created locally oriented projects.
Join us also this year from Friday, 06 July – Saturday, 21 July, 2018 for researching and developing nanotourism projects and strategies in Honolulu, Hawai‘i, which has a unique mix of indigenous and contemporary cultures that operate in an environment famous for its mass tourism.
Hawaii’s 1.4 million residents host 220,000 visitors and up to 35,000 people fly in and out of its airports. In 2017 more than 9.1 million tourists are projected to visit Hawaii. By 2020 this number is expected to rise to just over 9.5 million.
How can nanotourism take root in a system designed to accommodate mass tourism? The course will focus on Kakaʻako, a 600-acre waterfront district in downtown Honolulu. Kakaʻako originated as coastal swamplands, where native Hawaiians fished, produced salt, launched their canoes and practiced religious rituals. A large portion of current day Kakaʻako sits on reclaimed land built upon coral reef. Rapid urbanization in the early 1900’s saw downtown Honolulu stretch east into Kakaʻako. It transitioned into a residential area inhabited by tenements and immigrants camps that were themselves eventually displaced by small industrial businesses and warehouses.
How can nanotourism create social awareness about the local indigenous history and culture? For the past three decades, developers and state officials have been repositioning Kakaʻako as a mixed-use, walkable, urban village that is planned to be the densest neighborhood in the Hawaiian archipelago, housing over 30,000 residents. Today, Kakaʻako is home to one of Hawaiʻi’s most vibrant arts scenes, hosting the annual ‘POW! WOW!’ arts festival.
What role can nanotourism play in Kakaʻako’s rapid transformation? Nanotourism is a creative critique to the current environmentally and economically unsuitable effects of mainstream tourism by proposing locally-specific alternatives through bottom-up processes. The programme focuses on the development of design strategies, which rely on local material and social resources to create hyper site-specific projects in 1:1 scale.
Course heads and mentors of the AA nanotourism Visiting School are Aljoša Dekleva, Karla Sierralta, Brian Strawn and course assistant mentor Jakob Travnik. With course visiting critics Tina Gregorič, Christopher Pierce and lecturers Adele Balderston, Healoha Johnston, Z. Ikaika Mali'Ikapu Bantolina, Jasper Wong, Kuha'o Zane and Vedran Mimica.
The deadline for applications is 8th June 2018. Join here!
