Question 15

Venice impacts of travel-

Answer 15

When there are 22 million tourists every year but only 60 thousand locals, the businesses and the government focus so much on making the tourists happy (because that’s where the money comes from). This makes life miserable for the locals (imagine if every shop in your town was a gift shop or if your school had a thousand visitors every day).
Tourists often don’t understand that they have such a big effect. All the garbage on the footpaths and bridges has to be collected by hand (people walking around). And when people throw their rubbish in the canals, it has to get dragged out of the water by hand by people in boats. All this just because people couldn’t be bothered finding a bin.
The wear and tear caused by so many people even walking (or dragging their suitcases along a thousand year old path) means that the government has to spend money fixing them up (or leave them to get ruined forever).
The house prices and cost of living are too high for most people.
Also, the city is being slowly drowned by the Adriatic Sea - It would take about 80 years for the city to be completely unliveable.

Question 16

venice- what have they done

Answer 16

Locals have worked out that charging tourists more than they charge locals for everyday items allows them to afford to keep paying the rents in their own city. However, it’s illegal.
The ‘Detourism’ campaign has tried to encourage people to visit at less popular times of the year and to give advice for tourists on how to do the right things when visiting.
Tourists are encouraged to keep reusing their water bottles, so there are lots of places to refill them (otherwise they end up in the canals)
