What Can We Learn From The Case Of Venice?

Venice, once famous city in Italy, is becoming a lifeless city

. The latest statistics shows that the number of population in Venice is decreasing year after year and now it has been less than 6 million people lived in the city. On November 14, 2009, the local residents had a funeral for the dying city. As a tourist city, commodity price in Venice has been rising in recent years. A lot of residents can't afford the high prices and chose to flee.

Venice is world-known because of Merchant of Venice, masterpiece by Shakespeare, and be depicted as holy land tourism for tourism enthusiasts. In the past, most people from different parts of the world come to this paradise city to enjoy life. But it is incredible that once fantastic tourist city now turns into a lifeless city. From the authoritative survey, the reasons for such change are flood, happened frequently in recent years, and high living cost caused by prosperous tourism. In Venice, the tourism is so prosperous that other industries have no space to develop. If someone did not want to engage in tourism, catering and other service industries, he would be unemployment.

In traditional points, tourism can contribute to economy prosperity because it is an industry of small-scale investment and less pollution. Above all, it can offer numerous jobs to resolve the unemployment. More and more government put the tourism as the most important industry to flourish local economy. But why Venice becomes worse because of tourism.

Many local governments, especially in developing countries, put financial revenues as primary goals. They often provide preferential terms to attract investment from developed regions. They often ignore what negative effects will be brought such as water pollution, air pollution and ecological unbalance, which would make the local people's life become worse. If the financial revenues brought by investment can't make up for what people lost, that may be the responsibility of the governments. From the case of Venice in Italy, we should understand a truth that all the development of economy must conform to scientific requirements and bring benefit to local residents. Otherwise, all development is meaningless.
