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.

File that under “First World Problems”.

I’m sure there is a point of ‘diminishing returns’, regarding tourism, such that too many tourists at one time = bad experience.
Reminds me a little of Yogi Berra’s comment: “Nobody goes to that restaurant anymore because it’s too crowded.”
Don't worry, the dems have a plan to fix that.

That is absolutely true. There are hoards of tourists everywhere. In SF they’re thinking of charging to go down Lombard St. And as for Yosemite, you might get more solitude if you go to Disneyland.
