Easy peasy, get rid of cruise ships.

Venice should require permits for tourists and limit the number of permits per week.

I was just in Venice a few weeks ago & the €5 admission tickets are only required on weekends & bigger holidays. Also, the cruise ships are no longer allowed to dock in Venice: the mega ships (floating amusement parks) must dock in Trieste or Ravenna, 2 hrs. away, while smaller ships with less than 1000 passengers can dock in Chioggia at the south end of the lagoon which entails a 90 min. trip. It was well worth it to me!

Can't live with them, can't live without them.

Now ban those horrible cruise ships.

I went to Venice in 2009 for a few weeks to work on a project. Stayed in a non-touristy part and it was in December... nice and quiet. We were told then that so many people were moving out because the restrictions on upkeep on property there were so strict, it made it difficult. I think in the next 30-50 years, the city will crumble into the water... no locals will be left and all the tourist activity will help to erode it. Pity... because out of everywhere I went in Italy, it was the one place that really grew on me. Even with having to wade through a foot and a half of water every morning to get to the cafe. I would love to go back but feel like tourism there has gotten so out of hand that I wouldn't enjoy it.

Short term tourism is okay and does generate a lot of revenue for the city. However, they should never approve permits for foreign nationals to own any properties within the city

They are not looking at the whole picture and the multiple problems. They have already priced out most of the actual residents who have to travel to work in their own city because they can't afford to live there. If they price out families or people who refuse to pay the entrance fee for one day (because fees go up, rarely do they go down) then they turn Venice into a playground for the rich and famous and trust me they would do more damage to the anesthetics because with money comes power. Another option is too shut it down a few weeks or months per year, except for residents or Italian citizens, but that won't work. It's main product is tourism. Another option is if they are keeping track of the people that visit for one day or even multiple days, limit their visits to a certain number per year. The point is they don't have many viable options. Neither side does. They need to find a way of getting the visitors involved. Because the message that is being sent is that we want your money but not you. I've been to Venice. I've read up on what's happening. But other than never going there again in order to preserve it, I don't know what else to do. We need solutions not accusations, blaming or scapegoating.

Over tourism is like a thousand people showing up to use your toilet.

The more you talk about the city is sinking, the more people are RUSH to visit the city.

I would gladly pay like £30 for entry in Venice … it’s a beautiful city & everyone should have seen it but limit the ppl per day

A thousand bucks to ride a canoe through a sewer? I can do that here for free.

Venice, should becareful what you wish for. Last time they complained. Covid hit the world. I wont go to no country that dont want me there.

Not looking to insult anyone or start a flame war, but I went to Venice in 2013, and in my humble opinion, Venice and the surrounding area is sort of a dump, overhyped and overrated.

we ended a cruise there 5 years ago in a small shp. It was crazy, but the side streets were quiet and the buildings are amazing. Venice also has mediocre food catering to the tourists. The food at the train station is the best. We took a high speed train to Florence where the crowds were worse. We had advance reservations for the muesems so no problem there. But the crowds in Florence were jst as bad or worse in the popular places. No more Med trips, all the nice places are packed including the Amalfi coast.

Ban cruise ships

Don't begg people to take your money. Also, I wonder where the natives go for vacation?🤔

imagine if nyc did this kind of stuff... people would have a field day

a good idea to limit numbers of people - the streets are very narrow and it’s uncomfortable as you try to avoid bumping into each other

Answer is obvious. Put a cap on how many people can enter the city each month who aren’t locals and charge literally ‘thousands of euros to visit’. That’ll do it. I’m not kidding here.

Quit going there.

Just go to the immitation in Las Vegas instead

Don't go to Venice... got it.

100K tourists per day! 😳

I was planning on going to Italy next year but if they aren't in the mood for visitors, Im happy to take my business elsewhere.

The fact Venice "needs" tourists is exactly why limitations on tourism are required and overdue. Over tourism hollowed out the city to where it's barely a real living city anymore; it became an archeological site full of tourist trap junk shops and food options. Limitations need to be put in place to try to reverse this and bring locals back to revive the city.

Makes sense, at least the locals should benefit from it.

Venice is not even on my list of places I planned to visit, no disappointment here.😂

Venice banned cruise ships a few years ago.

This the only city thats complaing about issues many other cities would love to have. How about just jacked up the prices of everything touristy.

Stop ship cruises simple

Title of this video is incorrect. Title regards Venice tourism, content regards hazards of supplement pills.

To limit ‘trash’ tourism.. well done Venice!!!!

Is it the number of tourists or the behavior of cruise ship’s passengers?

good! love Venice but it is totally abused by disgusting loud messy tourists clogging up the alleys and tourist areas.

"We won't your money! Just Not you!"

Now you have to pay 5 euros to enter the city.

I dont blame them. Tourists can be the rudest people on earth.

NGL, being a tourist in Venice (pre-pandemic) I saw more other tourists than I did Venice 🙁 I can get behind whatever regulations they can introduce to preserve the culture/lifestyle/environment so they have something to attract tourists.

Go to Thailand 🇹🇭 instead, they don't purnish tourists there. They always welcome you. You can take pictures and videos as much as you like. You can wear shorts and flipflops anywhere in the country, except temples and religious places. Thai food is best food in the world, but if you prefer Italian food, there are plenty of Italian food over there. So, go to Thailand and have fun, and you will find it's "the land of the Free".

I went to Rome, very nice. I heard Venice is a floating dump. So didn't go.

logang rise up

Did you know the rock band the doors formed in Venice

I live in a tourist town and I don’t need you or your money.😊✌🏻🍻

United States of Mexico

I don’t care about the american biased point of view

It’s definitely not one if the most beautiful places on earth. Sure it’s historical but it’s rundown. Smells like hot urine thanks to the natives and their dogs. The kids spraying graffiti on everything etc etc

Venice is expensive, dirty and it stinks. Save your money and go to Disneyland instead.

also note if visiting Venice -- lots of Chinese vendors selling Chinese products - not authentic Venice 🫤🫤 so if want authentic artisan-crafted items - check carefully… because many of what’s in the shops are NOT made in Italy ☹️☹️☹️

Too much tourism income is a problem only for those that do not live in balance with the planet. #FlowLikeBruce
