I support this. Venice was never designed for this sort of thing. Tourists can disembark somewhere down the coast and take a bus, Venice is worth the inconvenience so they’ll do it.
Yep, good way to separate the truly interested from the merely curious We wouldn’t build an interstate highway into Yellowstone for the same reason.
I agree with you.
But without overall limits on how many tourists can visit Venice at any one day/time, the dozens of tour busses will just be lined up getting into and clogging whatever roads can get them nearest to their tourists’ hotels.
“Too many tourists” is not just a NIMBY thing. Its a reality at many favorite tourist spots around the world. Even some U.S. national parks have to put up signs now and then that serve notice of no additional visitors at that time.
Never have so many humans the world over had so much disposable income to go touring ‘round the world.
Venice is on my list of places I always wanted to visit. Going next year. Glad they have banned these monstrosities. From the pics, they just don’t look right in Venice.
