Negative Impacts of Tourism in Venice

Preservation

Tourism is great, it allows countries to become a cultural exchange hub while tremendously benefiting the economy of the host city. What many don’t know is the negative impacts of tourism on a country, especially when it gets to extreme points that risk the host city’s infrastructure. Venice, Italy is a great example of this, as the spike in tourism over the last few years have left several lasting effects on the city. While the city has already begun countermeasures to this, we as tourists also have to do our part to help preserve these popular destinations for years to come.
