Nizza, il sindaco contro il turismo ‘mordi e fuggi’: stop alle grandi navi dall’estate

🚢 Nizza's Mayor, Christian Estrosi, plans to ban cruise ships with more than 900 passengers from docking at the French port starting next summer. The policy targets ships over 190 meters, potentially impacting the 124 cruise ships scheduled to visit Nizza in 2025. This move is expected to reduce cruise passenger arrivals by 70%, as Estrosi criticizes these "floating hotels" for pollution and low-cost tourism that doesn't contribute economically. Upcoming legislation could disrupt ship itineraries planned years in advance.
