About the Book

Luxury River Cruises and the Three Gorges Dam. What happens when a dam breaks is known. What happens when the biggest dam in the world will break is hard to imagine. The unimaginable catastrophe that the Three Gorges Dam can trigger is not discussed. Critics are silenced and only praise for the new Chinese Wall is tolerated. The negative effects - earthquakes, landslides, droughts and floods - are explained as natural . Until the day came when too many unrelated effects came together. The floods and the landslides, the neglect in constructions and human error. These are the days when normal people are effected, when politicians try to save themselves and the military prepares for a situation that can destroy the country. The day when the peasants will pay the price again. A dark but realistic scenario that changes China and the world forever.
About the Author: Stephan Busch has an invaluable and diverse experience sailing up and down the Yangtze River for more than a hundred times while living in China and at the Yangtze river for over ten years. During this time observing the original Yangtze with the annual floods and currents as well as visiting the construction side of the Three Gorges Dam became a facinating experience. The years that followed showed the positive and many negative effects of the dam once construction was completed. The idea for the book was born when he was on the lower side of the Three Gorges Dam at the day of the 2008 Szechuan Earthquake. With 8,0 Magnitude one of the strongest quakes that killed more than 80.000 people. A Quake that shook the biggest dam in the world. Studying Hydro - electrical Dams for many years revealed the catastrophes dams caused not only in China but all over the world. Besides horrific dam breaks it was amazing to discover the impacts dams have on the ecological system and on the people that are directly effected. Stephan Busch has a long career in the hospitality industry ranging from senior management positions with the most renowned hotel and resort companies to the project development - launch of operations, business development- for hotel . resort and cruise companies in Asia, Europe, Canada and Russia. His expertise includes planning, opening and operating of hotels, international golf clubs, airports, resorts and cruise ships. Stephan Busch earned his Master Certificate in Hospitality Management from Cornell University, USA and is a frequent guest lecturer at Universities, schools and events for cross-cultural and project management.
