From 2024, a €5 fee will be charged to day-trippers entering #Venice (only on 30 selected days).

This comes after cruise ships were banned from entering the lagoon in 2021.

It is an experiment to PROTECT the city against mass tourism. Will it be enough to prevent Venice becoming Veniceland, a theme park instead of a liveable city?

The capital letters of PROTECT are mine. More and more, #tourism is not a blessing, but a punishment.

Evil greed. If you are a family and are bound to school vacation dates, greedy landlords try to extract the hell out of your pocket.

You pay between 2.5-4 times the rent for the same apartment during holiday season.

This chart is now publicly visible for everyone on many tourism websites. I hope it will have an impact. For me it already does - I rather stay home than pump my money into some greedy mf’s ass.

What do you think how long it will take until I have to remove this chart out of protest by the landlords?

After initial pleas for people to avoid visiting Maui, Hawaiian tourism officials are now encouraging vacationers and sightseers to come again. While the area affected by wildfires is still off-limits, local businesses spared from the disaster say they have seen a steep decline in customers and worry for the economic future of the community. Hotels and airlines are offering discounted rates to lure wary tourists back to the island.

Venice to start charging visitors entry fee next year (Reuters).

"Venice plans to experiment with an admission fee of 5 euros($5.35) for day trippers next year to try to manage the flow of tourists drawn to its historic canals, the city council said on Tuesday.

The fee will be applied on a trial basis on 30 days next year, focusing mainly on spring bank holidays and summer weekends when tourism numbers are at their peak. All visitors over the age of 14 will have to pay it.

The aim was to find "a new balance between the rights of those who live, study or work in Venice and those who visit the city," Venice tourism councillor Simone Venturini said."

@ExtinctionR Sounds perhaps crazy but so-called #disaster #tourism has been established for years. It works similarly to the gawpers on the motorway during an accident. Instagram, various travel blogs, and YouTube already serve this vehemently.

So-called last-chance tourism on melting glaciers f.e. becomes a danger for biodiversity: https://ensia.com/features/melting-glaciers-tourism-impacts/ On the other hand it can be used for education but not in the acute situation of a catastrophe! They look for the kick, not for leisure.

Many now flock to natural places for the best selfie background

"Trampling plants, damaging rock art, risking your life: taking selfies in nature has a cost."

"Someone goes swimming, puts it on social media and suddenly there’s 100 people a day coming to go wild swimming where the platypus and the glow-worms live. And in a wet year, suddenly all the vegetation around the rock pool is trampled, it turns into a muddy mess."

From Kathleen Ageton, a Maui resident and librarian, and our esteemed friend:

"One way you can help in this time of devastation on Maui is to delay visiting our island. Instead, please send your prayers, love and donations to those who are suffering."—Hawaiʻi Community Foundation's Maui Strong Fund: https://www.hawaiicommunityfoundation.org/maui-strong

Dog Land was a 60s tourist attraction between Fanning Springs, FL and Chiefland, FL. You could eat at the KFC and then see all the then recognized types of dogs. No official data exists on how they kept chicken bones away from all the fancy mid-century dogs. #dogs #florida #tourism #60s

Hawaiʻi prefers tourists from the #SanFrancisco Bay Area, because we're more "mindful travelers" — ones interested in learning about the cultures and environments of the places we go, and wanting to perpetuate those cultures "and not harm the environment."
