What are Matt and Ava doing? 

Script:

Ava: What are you doing, Matt?

Matt: Hi, Ava. Having planned a summer holiday in Hawaii, I’m learning a few basic Hawaiian phrases.

Ava: I don't think this is the ideal time to visit Hawaii.

Matt: Why not?

Ava: Having suffered from over-tourism, the locals are asking tourists to stop visiting the island. Thousands of new arrivals every day are creating traffic jams, overcrowding and resource depletion; and the local people have to cope with their consequences every day.

Matt: Actually, I have heard of the problem but I try to be responsible whenever I travel. I'm aware of the impact on the environment and the local community. Therefore, I usually shop locally to help the community's economy. When possible, I always book eco-tours.

Ava: Not every tourist shares your sense of responsibility. Some use natural heritage sites as a backdrop for their pictures and display disrespectful behaviour towards other countries' cultural heritage. In some cases, tourists even destroyed natural and cultural landmarks.
