I can't quite imagine tour buses having the same effect on a city of canals.

Well not the tour buses themselves but all the tourists - day trippers who may not even spend that much moolah - to keep the summer suffocating crowds down - or I think also floated is to charge an admission charge - that would be tantamount to being on the way to becoming a theme park.

I read in various sources that it was actually any ship larger than 96,000 tons.
Also they are going to limit the number of ship turnarounds per day from 9 currently to five per day.
It's a start, hope they keep going with this.

I dug this out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...t_cruise_ships
there are 51 ships that will not be allowed in, I'm not sure where they all normal cruise so it may not be a problem for the companies but Costa and Carnival get hit. See also the ships towards the bottom are being built.

Now watch the cruise lines advertise, 'book now for one of the last chances to see Venice from the deck of a large cruise ship'.
PalenQ, you wrote, "or I think also floated is to charge an admission charge - that would be tantamount to being on the way to becoming a theme park."
You mean like they did with Cinque Terre. Few realize that in peak season, the number of people allowed to walk the paths of Cinque Terre, now has to be limited.
Tourism sometimes has a lot to answer for.
