☆ Barcelona restricts cruise ship access, plans to increase tourist taxes

CNN —As overtourism continues to throttle European cities, one destination has taken a step against cruise ships, restricting access to the port. Barcelona has closed its northern port terminal to cruise traffic, after an agreement with the local authorities to move ships further out of town. Cruise ships must now dock at the Moll d’Adossat pier, which is the furthest from the city center. Manfred Gottschalk/The Image Bank Unreleased/Getty ImagesBarcelona is Europe’s biggest cruise port. In contrast, the city’s population is just over 1.6 million, according to 2023 data by the local authorities.

“It’s part of this zeitgeist that we need to be more conscious and take better care of our local environment,” Mr. Hansen said. In line with that trend, some European destinations that have long imposed tourism taxes have begun to increase their rates or impose additional levies. Last year, the Barcelona City Council began imposing a “city surcharge” on visitors, over and above the accommodation tax (from €1 to €3.50 per night), which the government of Catalonia established in 2012. It’s a similar story in the Croatian city of Dubrovnik — which, according to one index, had the highest ratio of tourists to residents of any European city in 2019. The mayor described the cruise tax as “a win-win.”
