And even if all of the Venetians moved elsewhere, the city would remain a tourist attraction. I don’t think the tourists are coming to see the people who liver there now.
Tourism for its own sake doesn’t do anything for me. Either I’m content living in Dullsville or maybe life isn’t so dull after all.
Who wants to share a tourist destination with twenty million tourists, anyway? And how big is the Muslim problem in Venice?
As the great Booker T. Washington once said, “Cast down your bucket where you are.”
And as I like to say, “Why should I travel? I’m already here!”
