@cruiseshiplawyer: Cruise Industry Boom Strains Greece's Tourism Infrastructure! We talk about the booming cruise industry in Greece, where cruise lines have contributed significantly to the country's tourism-dependent economy. However, the influx of cruise passengers has overwhelmed popular sites like the Acropolis, leading to a 20,000 person cap per day. Tour guides, shopkeepers, and hoteliers are feeling the strain, and some islands are now trying to limit the number of passengers and ships that can visit. I'll be reporting more on this story, including insights from a cruise ship lawyer. In June, #greece prime minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis told Bloomberg the country was moving to limit the number of #cruise ships allowed to stop at the most popular islands. #CruiseIndustry #Greece #Tourism #Acropolis #CruiseShips #CruiseShipLawyer

I wonder what the risk reward would be for building a train loop for sightseeing and the cruise ships

I think limiting the amount of cruise ships that arrive at any one time is a fair and good idea.

I agree with them - if they do t want that many tourists then limit the number of ships but I don’t think they should limit who can get off if the ship stops there

We just flew to Barcelona and it was miserable due to all the cruisers. Thousands filtering in a day. The locals are miserable and resentful and I don’t blame them. It was like a circus.

If you go and don’t respect the people who live there you should stay home.
