Om folket knappt ens går i land, på vilket sätt blir de en stor belastning då? Jag vet inte, men betalar inte kryssningsbolaget för få gå ihamn där? Det handlar sedan inte bara om kryssningsbolag.
De går i land och det handlar om mängden folk.
Well, let me give you an example: In 2013, DubrovnikÂ’s worst year in terms of over-tourism, the Old Town was visited by more than 1.1 million cruise ship tourists alone. While things are improving, thanks to stricter tourism management and the recent Pandemic, 526,000 cruise ship passengers arrived in Dubrovnik in 2023. Considering there are only around 1,500 locals left within DubrovnikÂ’s city walls, tourists outnumber locals here by about 800 to one.
That an influx of tourists of this scale has negative impacts canÂ’t be debated: Made-in-China souvenir shops have replaced centuries-old family-owned businesses. Quaint checkered-cloth restaurants have become tourist traps, serving the same overpriced fare as the one next door. Medieval cobble-stoned streets, polished by millions of shoes every year, become super slippery when it rains.
