Capri Island in Turmoil: Tourist Bans and Water Emergencies

Capri Beijing - Binibeca - Capri - Cinque Terre - Italien - Kina - Pompeji - Thailand - Turisme - Vandmangel

Find out why Italy's popular Capri island faced tourist bans due to a water crisis!

Den italienske ø, Capri, blev ramt af en vandskrises, der tvang borgmesteren til at stoppe turisternes ankomst. Efter vandforsyningsproblemer blev løst, kunne turister med hotelreservationer vende tilbage. Capri hævede derefter forbuddet mod turister, hvilket tillod ferger fra Napoli og Sorrento at vende tilbage til havnen. Samtidig blev en kasakhstansk turist stopped fra at vandalisere Pompejis arkæologiske park ved at skrive på en mur. I Beijing blev reservationssystemet på de fleste turiststeder skrottet for at genoplive turiststrømmen til hovedstaden, mens flere kinesiske byer ophævede forudgående billetreservationer for turistattraktioner.
