GOOD MORNING AMERICA’S HOMEPAGE:
https://www.goodmorningamerica.com/
Ha ha no more rich Americans for you! We’ll stay home!
Same for Hawaii, we need to be firm with the tourist and say not right now; please wait. My family works in the hotel industry and tourism is our economy, but our health is more important atm.
Without tourism where are all the illegal and foreign vendors going to go ?
I agree. Having been there and an uninformed tourist (USA) I wish I had known better. we stayed only for a day and had lunch, dinner, toured the Murano museum and spent a large amount on a beautiful piece of art. But sadly unaware of the controversies. 5 years ago. We arrived by train while touring the entire country.
This world is over populated and this is why it's crumbling before our eyes. Plagues and unrestts every where. Everybody is out protesting if they aren't hospitalized alerady with covid-19. Many businesses and individuals went bankrupt. More westerners will turn to drug. The western world will look very much like either Honduras or South Africa. The collaspe of the west is no avoidable.
How is that? not bringing income to local businesses?…why?
Unfortunately your 1% have already sold you guys out.
That's an outrageous amount of tourists. The citizens of Venice have the right to quiet and peaceful enjoyment of their home. Also, many tourists to Venice are I'll mannered, rude and disrespectful. I hope they succeed in their protests.
Just stop that "Hug a Chinese day".
about time. but but we're still in a pandemic
the cruise ships have got to go. somebody got paid off big time.
they ruin a very fragile beautiful environment
Dayum everyone be protesting these days
Always nice to see a peaceful protest. Just don’t know how to feel though when they’re protesting for responsible tourism but they’re standing right next to each other like nothings going on
I was appalled seeing those giant cruise ships.
Pretty much, no Karens!
As a Tourist to going to Venice in 2021 – I most definitely agree !
the pathetic story of John Bolton: – Begs for WH job – Pushes for endless wars (Iran, Afghanistan, Iraq) – Trump refused – Gets fired – Immediately sells cry-baby book about getting fired – Leaks book to NYT to boost sales – Contents of book never happened – Only swamp cares
I live in a tourism town, too. Santa Barbara. Between tourism and all the colleges here, we usually have a huge influx of temporary people wandering around.
You live in Disney Land …. you might get visitors?
The lockdown was a good time for any regulations or fixes that needed some downtime to be put in place. If there's another wave that floods the hospitals, make better use of another lockdown if it comes.
Man, people will rally and protest for anything anymore. Dont all these people have jobs to be at?
Blessings Venice from Ohio! ✊
Who's travelling to Italy right now? I'm in the US near the Canadian border and I can't even cross.
shut up and give me pasta
Good for Venice! It is a treasure that needs to be protected
Protests are COVID side effects
