Cannes has joined the growing global movement against overtourism by imposing new regulations on cruise ships, limiting port access to those with fewer than 1,000 passengers. This decision, effective January 1, aims to balance tourism's economic benefits with environmental sustainability. While some cruise operators argue that such restrictions are damaging, Cannes Mayor David Lisnard emphasizes the need for effective regulations rather than outright bans. This action follows similar measures taken by Nice, Venice, Barcelona, and Amsterdam as more cities confront the challenges posed by increasing tourist numbers.
Cannes city councillors voted to introduce new limits on cruise ships in the city's ports, allowing only ships with fewer than 1,000 passengers starting January 1.
Mayor David Lisnard stated, 'It's not about banning cruise ships, but about regulating, organizing, setting guidelines for their navigation,' emphasizing the need for sustainable tourism.
