Tourism Management and Environmental Impact

The video discusses the challenges of constructing a site in a remote area without heavy machinery, highlighting the manual labor involved. It covers the elevator's capacity to carry 1,380 passengers per hour in an earthquake zone, with safety ensured by laser systems and escape tunnels. The impact of tourism on the ecosystem in the 1990s led to government intervention. To manage visitors while preserving the park, an elevator was built into a rock face, showcasing an engineering marvel that combines human ingenuity with natural beauty.
