The city of Dubrovnik in Croatia has been facing problems related to the sharp increase in the number of tourists in recent years. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
The number of tourists compared to residents in the city has increased 27 times, negatively affecting local life and historical heritage. This situation makes it difficult to preserve the natural and cultural environment of the city.
The city mayor, Mato Frankovich, has introduced new measures to regulate the flow of tourism. Now, the number of ships is limited to only two per day, and they must stay in the city for at least eight hours.
Through the Dubrovnik Pass system, it is required to book in advance to visit the city walls and museums. Additionally, some buildings in the historic area have been purchased and are being rented out to young families.
The opening of a school in the former palace is encouraging the return of residents to the city center. These measures aim to reduce short-term rentals and noisy tourism.
According to experts, the city of Dubrovnik is preserving the city and its cultural heritage by managing tourism without stopping it. The mayor emphasized that the main goal is to improve the quality of life for residents and to bring tourism to a long-term sustainable level.
These measures serve to ensure the future development of the city and the balanced growth of tourism.
