Cannes is completed by a huge cruise ship. French cities are joining an exaggerated rebound
PARIS (AP) – The Cannes of Cannes in the French Riviera is imposing “harsh regulations” on cruise ships by the city council, prohibiting any ship carrying more than 1,000 people from the port next year.
Hometown of the world's top film festivals is joining growing opposition to the global fightback, and has been upset recently with Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez' Venice wedding This weekend, Spain's water gun protested and underwent a surprise strike at the Louvre Museum.
Starting January 1, the purpose of the Cannes councillors who voted on Friday to introduce new restrictions on cruise ships in their ports was: “This is the purpose of the Cannes councillors. “Small amounts, less pollution, less pollution, less pollution.” New restrictions are introduced for cruise ships starting January 1. Only less than 1,000 passengers are allowed in the port, with a maximum of only 6,000 passengers declared 6,000 per day. Larger vessels are expected to transfer passengers to smaller ships to enter Cannes.
France attracted about 100 million tourists last year, more than any other European country, and has a larger population than the country, while managing the growing population, efforts to balance the economic interests of tourism with environmental issues.
“Cannes has become a major cruise destination with a real economic benefit. It's not about banning cruises, but about regulating, organizing, setting guidelines for navigation,” Mayor David Lisnard said in a statement.
Cruise operators say the restrictions have harmed destinations and passengers.
The two cruise ships are scheduled to dock in Cannes on Sunday, each with a larger limit of more than 7,000 passengers than the upcoming 1,000 passengers. Their owners did not immediately respond to requests for comment on the new restrictions.
Nearby Mediterranean city Nice City announced restrictions on cruise ships earlier this year, along with a number of other European cities.
