The problem: more accommodation for tourists than for locals; no affordable or available housing for those who live in Venice year-round
Who should be involved: city government, the media, potential tourists, tourists and locals.
Solution: regulations on the type of buildings that can be used as airbnbs, creating a rent ceiling on housing (both for airbnb rentals and local housing) and creating an airbnb tax for “off-season” renting  (creating an economic incentive to rent to locals)
Creating a policy to ensure that all neighbourhood have at least a certain number of core amenities specialized to their peculiarities.
Who is benefiting from improvement: families, students, low-income individuals

Group 7

What: Tourist money is mostly spent on cruises and resorts that have leakage out of the local economy.

Whom: Tourists should educate themselves on how to responsibly spend money to help locals like small businesses, supporting farmers and buying artwork/crafts.

How: More education about tourism and the standards of how to be respectful when entering another country. Understanding the importance and thinking critically about their spending and how tourism is a transaction, especially for the locals.

Who: Local people in these destinations. And local economies can help them grow their markets as more independent of tourism.

In order to combat the over-abundance of Air bnb's, we suggest increased regulations of short term rental homes similar to the town of Revelstoke. By restricting short-term rental homes to specific zones of the city, we would reduce the displacement of locals, in addition to containing the unruly tourists to smaller areas. This would improve both the peacefulness of the local neighbourhoods, as well as making it easier for locals to access their needed amenities (such as postal services/access to pension).

Group 01 Government regulation of the Port Authority in Venice

# data[].attributes.body
Regulation is needed to control the interests of the private “public” / international interests behind the Venice Port Authority. Solutions to protect small businesses begin with throttling the economic cannibalism of the cruise ship industry.

A potential solution, like in a “Theme Park” is that cruise ships could issue credits / coupons to incentivize spending in small businesses in Venice that are local.

What: The issue of there being very little to no revenue from the tourist industry into the community itself. So, there is no way for the venetians to economically sustain themselves, also there is such a large amount of tourists coming into venice that there is a need for regulation.
Solution: There could be a governmentally implemented tourism tax which would get funneled back into non-tourists dominated industries. Also with the tourism tax it will make it more expensive to go to Venice and that will eventually regulate the amount of tourists that come in, due to it becoming more expensive. The people that will go will also be more respectful because they're putting more money in so they will in turn make them more respectful.

Group 01 City Regulation for Private House Rentals

# data[].attributes.body
Employ similar regulations for AirBNB, similar to Berlin, to stop companies posing as “private” owners with 96 properties.

A ‘Watchdog’ group is needed to restrict conflicts of interest between the city council in Venice and property rentals.

Also the “dark / shuttered window” problem of empty housing for large periods of time in Venice. Needs regulation.

A government policy of required residency on the premises, enforced for a certain period of time. Also home ownership could be regulated, with penalties for 2nd or 3rd home ownership to encourage new owner opportunities.

To prevent de-population, the city could provide staff housing using the abandoned houses, which would reduce wasted realstate as well as encouraging local job opportunities.

Group 4 Hanna Jensen, Delaney Smart, Rebecca Brosch, Alexa Bartlett.

What: Many houses are being used more for tourist accommodation rather than housing for locals, and many houses on Venice are in great disrepair, meaning that residents either have to repair these rundown houses themselves (very expensive) or simply leave for the mainland.
Whom: The government and the local residents SHOULD be involved, however the government is very hands-off, as they claim that Venice is already in great debt so they can't help
How: The beginning of the solution already exists in what Venetian residents are doing: fixing up the houses themselves. However, as stated earlier, this is a very expensive solution. Thus, what could be done instead of simply leaving the residents to foot the bill themselves, the government could provide support and resources (e.g. discounts and priority on purchasing land for Venetian residents who prove that they want to live in that space and not just rent it out for Airbnb, easier access to building materials, etc.) which would greatly ease the financial and physical cost on the residents who fix up and improve these abandoned lots.
Who: Both the government and the residents, as for the residents, it would be easier to acquire living space and to improve that living space for living for great amounts of time in that space. For the government, it would be a more long-term solution which would improve the overall infrastructure of Venice and improve some of the crumbling facades. Additionally, by prioritizing residents instead of tourists who come off cruise ships and what not, more money would remain within Venice instead of leaking out.

What: We talked about adding a fee, or making reservations or limiting how many people can go to Venice, but we also mentioned how doing this may make Venice seem like a theme park due to the fees + limit of people there. (Breagha, Agata, Christian Mya)
Who: The tourist visiting Venice
How: enforcing a quota upon entry into Venice at all points of entry into the city

# data[].attributes.body
What: Environmental pollution has occurred mostly from large cruise ships that don't have emission filters.
Who: The cruise ship companies and the local government authorities
How: Cruise ship companies need to install emission filters to reduce the amount of environmental pollution.
Who will benefit: The local residents of Venice, as well as all tourists as the air quality, will greatly improve, resulting in less risk for illness.
