	• Venice wants to ban new hotels from opening in its historic centre	– Hotels were increasingly taking over former residential buildings "at the residents' expense, running the risk of impoverishing the city's social fabric". 	– According to council estimates, the city centre alone has enough hotel rooms to house more than 47,000 guests.	– Venice has over recent years seen a fall in permanent residents, largely due to the huge numbers of tourists who descend on the lagoon city. 	– If the depopulation were to continue at its current rate, by 2030 the city would no longer have a single permanent resident.The new ban would prevent hoteliers both creating new hotels or B&B's and expanding existing ones; instead, they would have to submit applications to the council who will give decisions on a case-by-case basis and using a strict set of criteria.
