Venice is Not a Hotel

With decreasing residential numbers and more tourists every year after the last, Venice faces a serious problem. The spectrum relating tourist housing and residential housing has dramatically shifted towards tourist accommodations, causing residents to leave the city and protest tourism. With Venice losing an average of a thousand citizens per year, they are also losing their sense of identity. If they keep losing residents at such an alarming rate, the true culture of Venice will be lost.

The Stay Venice team is happy and excited to attack the problem of tourism in Venice. Our team, Erick, John, Sam and Charles, has begun to look at outside sources as well as use our own ideas to start attacking this problem. We have noted that the spectrum between tourism and residential has been tilted towards tourism, causing a huge loss in residents. As seen in the graph down below, since around 1950, there has been a drastic drop in residency. It may in our best interest to go back and look at what happened back then to cause this huge drop off of Venetian residents.

Venice is in no way a hotel, and we plan on correcting this problem. Look forward to more updates!
