>And by the time of the 2021 ban, even cruise companies were on board. After it was announced, the Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA) said it had “been supportive of a new approach for many years” calling it a “major step forward”.
That’s very unexpected, a guild that cares about something else than profit. Do they have other reasons to support the legislation, my fellow tinfoilers?
Yikes, I didn’t know they let cruise ships in the grand canal.
Oh, so now they will loan a small ships to haul passengers from the ship, that will wait in the distant waters, for the 10 times the co2 output, 5head solution
reminds me of Amsterdam’s latest tourism slogan “Stay away!”
Good.
I am actually eager to see far more restrictions than the ones enacted. These humongous cruise ships are an environmental disaster and they are endangering every aspect of life in picturesque Mediterranean seaports, unloading thousands of tourists every day that create havoc and destroy the very idea of these escape havens.
As a Portuguese, come on in.
But don’t stay much longer than a vacation or get into the housing market, we will hate you with a passion. I can’t afford to live in my own country with these prices.
Overtourism?
That’s an alien concept for the Portuguese government.
Something I learned when I was in Venice was how little money cruise ships actually bring in for local businesses. The cruise usually sets up tours, people might eat one meal because the ship has free food, and there’s no need for a hotel.
A tourist who stays one night in a hotel is worth significantly more money to local businesses. It’s no wonder why locals hate cruises. They’re an eyesore, they pollute the water, and they don’t even make any money off of them.
