Tourist flows
  assumed high dimensions and characteristics such as the great benefits,but strong negative impact on the organization in general and the economic and social life of the historic center .

November 1966 ( with Piazza San Marco completely submerged ) , the Carnival , Biennale of art,the film festival ( Lido di Venezia) , constitute an invitation to visit the city for tourists interested in its treasures, and not doubt that Venice is a favorite destination from the tourist routes , over the past few decades, in a great development of the tourism , which occupies the first places of the world’s production of the revenue share .
Assuming that residential tourism is limited by the availability of the hotel’s beds ( the number continues to grow thanks to the release of the” reception offert”, more buildings will be transformed into hotels, with the risk of creating structural dammage with various restorations ) the availability reaches 26000 places.

The average daily number of tourists is 83,000 people, but with peaks that reach 140 thousand , they are added to the 59,000 residents ( less and less, in 1980 were 95,222 , 66,386 in 2000).The rest is tourism hiking , now distributed all along the course of the year, in addition to fast one day trip , the bathing beaches in the allocated neighbors ( Lido , Sottomarina , Cavallino , Jesolo) , and the type of the tourism “hit and run ” , which do not visit the museums ( only 1 in 10 have the time to visit the ‘ Academy one of the more valuable museums in Italy ) , do not stop in the hotels and restaurants , but they passes making photos and goes flocking waterbus or using large ships that in addition to the wave (moto ondoso), also do ” erosion and ingression of sea water in the lagoon” caused by excessive function of the harbor entrance. Eating packed lunch , a sandwich or a slice of pizza , leaving behind the garbage (maybe not finding a wastebasket casually throwing the empty bottle of water in a channel) , at the end the statistics speak of the costs of these 80 % of the tourists who are on average 16 euro / person , but that river of people is a river of money, and increasingly tourism,  the main business of the city.
A particular problem consists of the access only on the bridge from the mainland, to the terminals of the train station of Saint Lucia and Piazzale Roma , which generate two or three fixed and congested routes toward Rialto – San Marco.

The most critical moments coincide with the special events such as the Feast of the Redeemer , the Easter holidays , or the festival of Carnival ( revived with great success in 1979) , when gets so many people that have to set up one-way streets in the narrow streets , and get to the point that these rivers of tourists caused ” the explosion ” of some shop windows.
But … , remained in Venetian history as an event not to be repeated was July 15, 1989 , the night of the Redeemer , when it was organized in the basin of San Marco a Pink Floyd concert . 200 thousand young people have made the San Marco square to seem like a field of fight. The army services been needed to clean up the city and the images went around the world.

The fate of the city seems in fact influenced by the prospect of a monoculture of tourism that would transform the city into a museum or even worse, in a sort of Disneyland city .The continuous expansion of trade turned to mass tourism (masks, carnival t-shirts and hats,pieces of glasses) progressively expels the food trade and the craft , and also causes the exodus of productive activities and service that just survives in a city abandoned by residents .
