Q3: In July, we reported on the cities in Europe that are calling for limits on the number of cruise ships that dock in their ports. Do you think limiting cruise ships is a good thing? Tell us why/why not! 🚢 #lpchat

replying to @lonelyplanet @lonelyplanet A3 I believe it depends entirely on where the cruise ships are going. Islands in the Caribbean (pictured is St Kitts) rely nearly 100% on cruise ship tourism and would suffer greatly if there were stronger limits #lpchat

@lonelyplanet A3. From an environmental perspective, yes.

A3. This is an ongoing debate here in Edinburgh. Daily life is a lot more complicated in August when the city is bursting at the seams with festival goers and tourists. A simple journey across town can take twice as long in August. #lpchat

replying to @lonelyplanet @lonelyplanet A3. I think it depends on the destination and the locals perspective should be taken into account, but strictly looking at the environment, I would say yes. Also, in terms of Venice and similar destinations I would say yes. #lpchat

replying to @lonelyplanet @lonelyplanet A3 Absolutely! We visited Venice in September and it's tough to see how overtourism hurts a small space and pushes out locals. Limits are important so that everyone, locals and visitors, can enjoy the space. #lpchat

replying to @lonelyplanet @lonelyplanet A3: I reside in Europe and I wholeheartedly agree with the restrictions. It's not only the toll of that much footfall, it's the fact that cruise-ship visitors don't pay tourist tax. The infrastructure of some of these old cities is groaning under the weight. #lpchat
