They block in Venice the docking of giant ships full of tourists

Concerned about the damage being caused to the environment and the city by the boats that daily transport thousands of tourists, under the slogan #NoGrandiNavi have united a festival and a claim in Venice to ban cruising. By sea, 30,000 tourists arrive every day in Venice in high season.

“We don’t want a city of tourists that is empty at night; we want a city where you can breathe,” explained the Generation 90 movement, which has organized the action. “Maybe we are the last generation we will live in the real city, as the search for housing and work or the realization of daily life on the street will no longer be normal,” they added. According to the members of the movement, what tourists do is to go to the Plaza de San Marcos, take a selfie and return to the boat. “They behave as if they were shot to Disneyland, but for some Venice it is inhabited.”

In August Out the tourists! In Venice they hung posters with the motto You are destroying the city. At the beginning of the year, the United Nations warned that if Venice did not ban cruise ship docking by 2017, it would be on the list of cities in the process of disappearance due to overcrowding, pollution or erosion of marshes.

According to data from the Venezia report (2517), published by Xuban Zubiria in ARGIA, the city has lost 100,000 inhabitants in recent years, as the tourism model has reduced opportunities in the city and has greatly increased life. The Venetians complain that the centre of the city has been devoured by hotels and tourist activities, that they have had to move to the periphery and that their inhabitants have been forced to live in the city.

The issue also in Donostia

The tourism model we have in some places in the Basque Country has also been questioned. The neighbours of the Old Town Party, for example, are concerned about the influx of tourists of recent times, which have influenced their lives, their noise, their prices... and which have damaged their identity (especially in shops and shops). The mayor of San Sebastian himself, Eneko Goia, said: “The time has come to truly analyze the tourism model, to reflect and to set limits.”
