The islands with the highest density of closed stores are Cannaregio, Castello, San Marco, and San Polo, the districts with the higest percent population loss.

[[File:Low_conc._of_closed_stores.png|thumb|center|400px|Lowest Densities of Closed Stores]]

The concentration of closed stores is not very high in the islands that have lost the most population, which is probably due to the population loss being offset by the growth of tourists in the area. Although the population is declining, the number of tourists keeps the demand for products high.

Closed stores can be found throughout Venice even though the number of residents is significant and the number of tourists visiting the city each year have been steadily increasing.
 

==Types and Number of Stores==
There are a total of 1023 closed stores in Venice. These stores are scarred throughout the city.

The islands with the highest density of closed stores are Cannaregio, Castello, San Marco, and San Polo, the districts with the higest percent population loss.

The islands with the lowest density of tourist stores are in Dorsoduro and Santa Croce, the districts with the lowest percent population loss.

[[File:Low_conc._of_closed_stores.png|thumb|center|400px|Lowest Densities of Closed Stores]]

The concentration of closed stores is not very high in the islands that have lost the most population, which is probably due to the population loss being offset by the growth of tourists in the area. Although the population is declining, the number of tourists keeps the demand for products high.

'''Accommodations''', known in Italian as "alloggi", are any establishment that provides short-term residence for tourists in Venice in exchange for money. This includes hotels, bed and breakfasts, and parts of privately owned properties. The rise and expansion of the tourist accommodations throughout the historic center of Venice provides insight into the increase of tourism and helps explain how the economy has shifted from providing for the residents’ needs to attending to the tourists’ desires.
 

==History==
===Tourism in Venice===
Venice’s unique position on the lagoon has always attracted people to visit and admire it. Venice has catered to tourists from medieval to modern days. Tourism has thrived in Venice for hundreds of years, with Venice receiving a large and varied group of tourists every year. Even in the 1700s, people noticed Venice’s catering to tourists, saying, “Our gondoliers… rowed smoothly by the side of a broad pavement, covered with people in all dresses and of all nations” <ref> Marqusee, Mike. 1989. Venice: An Illustrated Anthology. Topsfield, Ma: Salem House.</ref> For centuries, Venice has drawn foreign visitors and their money to itself.
In order to care for all of these tourists, the accommodation industry has flourished with hotels and other accommodations flourishing, with a huge increase in the number of accommodations and number of beds that these accommodations contain.

===Tourist Accommodations in Venice===
Venice has experienced a steep increase in tourism over the past few decades. As a result, it has taken measures to ensure it has the necessary infrastructure to cope with the flood of people. The effects of tourism can be observed through the spread of tourist accommodations in Venice. As Venice’s appeal to tourists around the world increased, the need for new tourist accommodations grew. In fact, “without the swell of tourism, Venice –devastated by the French two centuries ago –might very well have vanished. The buildings along the Grand Canal that survived that cataclysm did so in large part because they were readily convertible to hotels and vacation rentals” <ref>McGregor, James H. 2006. Venice from the Ground Up. Cambridge, Mass: Belknap Press of Harvard University Press.</ref> Slowly and steadily, Venice started to transform and take new form through the development of the accommodation sector.
 
The high demand for tourist accommodations led to the rise of many hotels and bed and breakfasts. However, since Venice has seen its tourist levels increase from year to year, some residents have taken the opportunity to rent part of their houses to tourists in order to make a profit. In 1999 a new legislation, “Le Leggi Sul Bed and Breakfast Come Aprire un B&B in Veneto,” was created to regulate and also facilitate the creation of new bed and breakfasts and similar establishments <ref>Reg. Veneto. "Le Leggi Sul Bed and Breakfast Come Aprire un B&B in Veneto." Turismo e Strutture Ricettive. BU Veneto, last modified 26 October 1999, http://www.bed-and-breakfast.it/leggi_bed_and_breakfast_veneto.cfm.</ref> The city of Venice used this legislation to create more incentive to support tourism.

==Changing Patterns in Tourist Accommodations==

By making it easier for these establishments to be created, Venice made the accommodations market more competitive and promoted lower lodging prices. As a result, the number of accommodations in Venice increased a total of 793%, going from 191 to 1516 in nine years <ref>Carrera, Fabio. "The Harbinger of Alberghi." Venice 2.0., last modified April 18, accessed September 10, 2012, http://venice2point0.blogspot.com/2009/04/harbinger-of-alberghi.html.</ref> The number of B&Bs and rooms to rent alone have risen 1008% <ref>Mosto, Jane Da. 2010. The Venice Report: Demography, Tourism, Financing and Change of use of Buildings. Cambridge (Eng): Cambridge University.</ref> In 1999, there were only 191 tourist accommodations and a total of 11,208 beds in Venice in 1999.

‎[[File:Number_of_hotels_and_beds_1999.png|thumb|center|400px|Hotels and Beds in 1999]]

However, in 2008, only 9 years later, the number of tourist accommodations was 1,516 with a total of 22,935 beds throughout the city, as shown below. This increase represents an increase of over 87% in the number of accommodations and over a 50% increase in the number of beds.

‎[[File:Number_of_hotels_and_beds_2008.png|center|thumb|400px|Hotels and Beds in 2008]]

According to the Venice Report and the Comune di Venezia, the number of beds has increased a total of 18% for hotels and 49% for other accommodation establishments over the past 6 years. The expansion of tourist accommodations other than hotels is much more significant than the expansion of hotels. Indisputably this has taken away space that residents can oppupy. In fact, 44% of the 952 B&Bs opened 2001 – 2007 – 420 habitants – have been restructured internally so that they are no longer suitable for private occupancy” <ref>Mosto, Jane Da. 2010. The Venice Report: Demography, Tourism, Financing and Change of use of Buildings. Cambridge (Eng): Cambridge University.</ref>

[[File:Number_of_beds_2006-2011.png‎|center|thumb|400px|Graph of Number of Beds 2006-2011]]

==Consequences of the Increase in the Number of Tourist Accommodations==

This drastic increase has had a negative effect in the city. According to the Venice Report, “planning laws have been liberalized to allow private homes to be turned into B&Bs and rooms to rent. On the one hand, this has ensured the maintenance of these buildings, on the other it has reduced the number of habitations available to residents by about 420 units and has contributed to the doubling of property prices since 2000, further encouraging residents to leave” <ref>Mosto, Jane Da. 2010. The Venice Report: Demography, Tourism, Financing and Change of use of Buildings. Cambridge (Eng): Cambridge University.</ref> Although there has been a significant decrease in the population and more properties have become available, real estate prices have been rising. Currenty, “property is exceptionally expensive in Venice, with a 1,000-square-foot apartment going for up to $1.3 million in the historic center, and more on the Grand Canal, but half or a quarter of that on the terra firma across the lagoon” <ref>Povoledo, Elisabetta. 2006. Vanishing Venice: A City Swamped by a Sea of Tourists. http://find.galegroup.com/gic/infomark.do?&source=gale&idigest=e2ec5eb891e9fec2746ebba219ddc64c&prodId=GIC&userGroupName=mlin_c_worpoly&tabID=T004&docId=A152139168&type=retrieve&contentSet=IAC-Documents&version=1.0</ref> Property prices, both for private and public properties, have steadily increased over the past decade. Since 2000, “there have been annual price increases of 11.21 per cent for residential property, 5.84 per cent for offices premises and 6.70 per cent for commercial premises such as shops” <ref>Mosto, Jane Da. 2010. The Venice Report: Demography, Tourism, Financing and Change of use of Buildings. Cambridge (Eng): Cambridge University.</ref> Since housing is cheaper across the lagoon, many residents have been leaving the city center to live on the mainland <ref>McGregor, James H. 2006. Venice from the Ground Up. Cambridge, Mass: Belknap Press of Harvard University Press.</ref>

'''Stores''', known in Italian as ''negozi'', are any retail establishments that sells goods or services, with the exception of hospitality services. These include bakeries, supermarkets, clothing stores, restaurants, dry cleaners, etc.
 

==History==
Venice has always depended on trade and commerce. Venice not only welcomed economic activity but recognized that the city’s strength and well-being rested on a foundation of trade and the profits trade produced. <ref> James H. McGregor, ''Venice from the Ground Up'' (Cambridge, Mass: Belknap Press of Harvard University Press, 2006), 80.</ref> Niccolo Machiavelli stated that Venetian wealth is based on merchandise and movable goods.<ref> Mike Marqusee, ''Venice: An Illustrated Anthology'' (Topsfield, Ma: Salem House, 1989), 71. </ref> Since the stores in Venice are an indicator of the situation the city is in today, trends in the stores and their characteristics can promote understanding of how the city has changed.

The traditional stores and marketplaces in Venice reflect changes in the economic and political history of the city. Because of the changes that have occurred in Venice, there have been drastic changes in the ways that traditional marketplaces in Venice operate. For example, the Rialto marketplace, the most famous market in Venice, has changed a lot since it was created. For most of its history the Rialto was the main market where the necessities of daily life were sold, though not the only one. The biggest change in the Rialto market came about in the twentieth century, when the retail and wholesale markets –originally combined on this site –were split, causing a large shift in types of the people shopping in there.<ref> James H. McGregor, ''Venice from the Ground Up'' (Cambridge, Mass: Belknap Press of Harvard University Press, 2006), 272-273. </ref> Big changes have also occurred in other marketplaces, including the old fish market and the old produce and cheese markets.

==Types and Number of Stores==
There is a total of 4,980 stores in Venice. These stores are varied, including stores selling goods like food, souvenirs, clothing, and art and stores selling services like real estate, funeral services, and repair.
 
 
 
[[File:Total Stores.jpeg|thumb|center|800px|Total Stores in Venice]]

 
 
 
These stores are distributed throughout the six ''sestieri'' of Venice. The districts with the highest density of stores are San Marco and San Polo, the districts with the higest population of tourists.
 
 
 
[[File:Store Locations.png|thumb|center|400px|Chart of Store Densities]]
 
 
 
There are three main categories of stores in Venice: stores catering to tourists, stores catering to residents, and stores catering to both. These categories can be further refined by stores predominantly catering to tourists, stores somewhat catering to tourists, stores predominantly catering to residents, and stores somewhat catering to residents. The percentage of stores catering to tourists in Venice is 72%, while the percentage of stores catering to residents is 22% and serving both is 6%.
 
 
 
[[File:Types.png|thumb|center|400px|Chart of Store Types]]
 
 
 
==Changing Patterns of Stores==
Because there has been a steady decline of residents living in Venice and a large increase in tourists visiting Venice, the numbers of each type of store has been shifting.

Since 2004, there have been at least 44 stores that have changed from catering to residents to catering to tourists. The main reason for the increase in [[Tourist Stores|tourist stores]] is that if there is a high population loss in an area along with an increase in the density of tourist beds, there will be a trend in stores changing from serving the local population to serving the tourist population. The exception to this is that if the area already has many [[Tourist Stores|tourist stores]], there will not be a large increase in the number of stores changing to [[Tourist Stores|tourist stores]].
 
 
 
[[File:TC Bed Change.jpeg|thumb|center|800px|Changing Tourist Stores in Venice]]
 
 
 
Likewise, since 2004 there have been at least 37 stores that have changed from catering to tourists to catering to residents. There are many possible reasons for these changes, including lack of supply in certain areas of Venice, oversaturation of [[Tourist Stores|tourist stores]], and increase in population. One possiblity for this is that, in the rush to cater to tourists, there was a drop in stores catering to residents. This drop created a drop in the supply, even though there was still demand in the area for resident stores. Because there is still a demand for [[Resident Stores|resident stores]], there are now more stores moving in that are catering to residents.
 
 
 
[[File:RC-Pop change.jpeg|thumb|center|800px|Changing Resident Stores in Venice]]
 
 
 
===Supermarkets===
Another big change that is occurring in Venice is the spread of large supermarkets. Traditionally, Venice has only had small specialty food stores like bakeries, produce stores, or dairy stores that provided specific products. However, the first supermarket in Italy opened in 1957 in Milan, setting off a wave of supermarkets that would soon spread throughout all of Italy. In 2010, a group of students from Worcester Polytechnic Institute found that there were thirteen supermarkets, throughout the different sestieri in Venice. Although supermarkets offer goods at lower prices with greater convenience, they have contributed to the decline of local shops and stalls. In 2006, a different group of students interviewed locals and many locals had concluded that ninety-three percent of residents shop at supermarkets either always or often and only about twenty-five percent of residents shop at small stores regularly.<ref> Christopher Pinola et al., "A Detailed Look at the Changing Venetian Retail Sector" (Worcester Polytechnic Institute, 2012). </ref> Supermarkets are able to provide a variety of goods at low prices and are very convenient places to shop. By providing an alternate model of shopping that is cheaper and more convenient than smaller shops, they have taken away demand for smaller, more expensive shops.

==NACE Coding System==
The NACE Coding System is a standard system used by the European Union in order to standardize how the data is categorized and to simplify the analysis of the trends in the stores and tourist accommodations in Venice. Retail stores make up a large portion of these codes and a selection is shown below.

*'''Antiques''' - G52.50.1 
*'''Art''' - G52.48.2 
*'''Bakery''' -G52.24.1

'''Accommodations''', known in Italian as "alloggi", are any establishment that provides short-term residence for tourists in Venice in exchange for money. This includes hotels, bed and breakfasts, and parts of privately owned properties. The rise and expansion of the tourist accommodations throughout the historic center of Venice provides insight into the increase of tourism and helps explain how the economy has shifted from providing for the residents’ needs to attending to the tourists’ desires.
 

==History==

Cambridge (Eng): Cambridge University.</ref> This growth in tourist accommodations has led to a rise in tourist arrivals (number of tourists) and presences (number of nights spent in the city). Based on data gathered in 2008, the COSES Report concluded that Venice had the capacity to accommodate 26,000 visitors comfortably and predicted that the city would not be able to function if it hosted 86,000 tourists a day <ref>Carrera, Fabio. "The Harbinger of Alberghi." Venice 2.0., last modified April 18, accessed September 10, 2012, http://venice2point0.blogspot.com/2009/04/harbinger-of-alberghi.html.</ref> Currently, the average influx of tourists is set around 59,000 people. The high number of tourists is strongly affecting the city by decreasing the comfort level and mobility of its residents.

==Increase in Demand for Tourist Accommodations==

===Trends in Tourist Accommodations===
According to the Venice Report and the Comune di Venezia, the number of beds has increased a total of 18% for hotels and 49% for other accommodation establishments over the past 6 years. The expansion of tourist accommodations other than hotels is much more significant than the expansion of hotels. The types and numbers of hotels and non-hotels for the historic center can be found in Appendix F. “Indisputably this has deducted accommodation from the residential stock; the Assessorato alle Politiche della Residenza of the Comune says that 44% of the 952 B&Bs opened 2001 – 2007 – 420 habitants – have been restructured internally so that they are no longer suitable for private occupancy” <ref>Mosto, Jane Da. 2010. The Venice Report: Demography, Tourism, Financing and Change of use of Buildings. Cambridge (Eng): Cambridge University.</ref> The arrival of tourists has been increasing for both hotels and non-hotels, but the average number of nights spent by tourists is consistently higher for non-hotels.

===Consequences of the Increase in the Number of Tourist Accommodations===
The number of tourist accommodations in Venice has been consistently and rapidly increasing and, along with stores, reflects the transformation of the city of Venice. This increase is directly related to the rise of tourism and the boost tourism has created in the local economy, as shown below.

[[File:Tourists_vs_tourist_accommodations.png|thumb|center‎|400px|Graph Tourists vs Tourist Accommodations]]

However, it has also had a negative effect in the city. According to the Venice Report, “planning laws have been liberalized to allow private homes to be turned into B&Bs and rooms to rent. On the one hand, this has ensured the maintenance of these buildings, on the other it has reduced the number of habitations available to residents by about 420 units and has contributed to the doubling of property prices since 2000, further encouraging residents to leave” <ref>Mosto, Jane Da. 2010. The Venice Report: Demography, Tourism, Financing and Change of use of Buildings. Cambridge (Eng): Cambridge University.</ref> Although there has been a significant decrease in the population and more properties have become available, real estate prices have been rising. Currenty, “property is exceptionally expensive in Venice, with a 1,000-square-foot apartment going for up to $1.3 million in the historic center, and more on the Grand Canal, but half or a quarter of that on the terra firma across the lagoon” <ref>Povoledo, Elisabetta. 2006. Vanishing Venice: A City Swamped by a Sea of Tourists. http://find.galegroup.com/gic/infomark.do?&source=gale&idigest=e2ec5eb891e9fec2746ebba219ddc64c&prodId=GIC&userGroupName=mlin_c_worpoly&tabID=T004&docId=A152139168&type=retrieve&contentSet=IAC-Documents&version=1.0</ref> Property prices, both for private and public properties, have steadily increased over the past decade. Since 2000, “there have been annual price increases of 11.21 per cent for residential property, 5.84 per cent for offices premises and 6.70 per cent for commercial premises such as shops” <ref>Mosto, Jane Da. 2010. The Venice Report: Demography, Tourism, Financing and Change of use of Buildings. Cambridge (Eng): Cambridge University.</ref> Since housing is cheaper across the lagoon, many residents have been leaving the city center to live on the mainland <ref>McGregor, James H. 2006. Venice from the Ground Up. Cambridge, Mass: Belknap Press of Harvard University Press.</ref> People have become concerned about the spiral effect that is attracting more tourists and driving away more residents. In order to alleviate this problem, the city of Venice has made efforts “to bolster the population by building 500 to 600 apartments in three far-flung areas — Santa Marta, Cannaregio and Castello — for rent to middle-class families, the group at the greatest risk of vanishing” <ref>Povoledo, Elisabetta. 2006. Vanishing Venice: A City Swamped by a Sea of Tourists. http://find.galegroup.com/gic/infomark.do?&source=gale&idigest=e2ec5eb891e9fec2746ebba219ddc64c&prodId=GIC&userGroupName=mlin_c_worpoly&tabID=T004&docId=A152139168&type=retrieve&contentSet=IAC-Documents&version=1.0</ref> By doing so, the city hopes to keep residents in the city and stop the spiral.

==Trends in Accommodations==
===Tourism===
The total number of tourists visiting Venice each year is much harder to track, due to the high influx of excursionist tourists each day. Tourists arrive in Venice using different types of transportation, and the crew ships bring in a large portion of the tourists. ISTAT releases data on the number of residential tourists staying in Venice yearly and the number of tourists coming in in crew ships, however the only numbers of excursionist tourists are an estimation based on the percent difference between resident and excursionist tourists present in Venice at any given day. The IQP project conducted in 1999 estimated that the residential tourists made up a quarter of the total tourist population. Based on that estimation and on the assumption that the percent difference between residential and excursionist tourists has remained roughly the same, the total number of tourists in Venice from 1971 to 2010 was estimated and is shown below.

‎[[File:Total_number_of_tourists_1971-2010.png|thumb|center|400px|Graph Total Number of Tourists 1971-2010]]

===Accommodations===
The drastic increase in the tourist population in Venice has resulted in changes in city so it could accommodate and provide for the tourists. As shown below, there were only 191 tourist accommodations and a total of 11,208 beds in Venice in 1999.

‎[[File:Number_of_hotels_and_beds_1999.png|thumb|center|400px|Hotels and Beds in 1999]]

However, in 2008, only 9 years later, the number of tourist accommodations was 1,516 with a total of 22,935 beds throughout the city, as shown below. This increase represents and increase of over 87% in the number of accommodations and over a 50% increase in the number of beds.

'''Stores''', known in Italian as ''negozi'', are any retail establishments that sells goods or services, with the exception of hospitality services. These include bakeries, supermarkets, clothing stores, restaurants, dry cleaners, etc.
 

==History==
Venice has always depended on trade and commerce. Venice not only welcomed economic activity but recognized that the city’s strength and well-being rested on a foundation of trade and the profits trade produced. <ref> James H. McGregor, ''Venice from the Ground Up'' (Cambridge, Mass: Belknap Press of Harvard University Press, 2006), 80.</ref> Niccolo Machiavelli stated that Venetian wealth is based on merchandise and movable goods.<ref> Mike Marqusee, ''Venice: An Illustrated Anthology'' (Topsfield, Ma: Salem House, 1989), 71. </ref> Since the stores in Venice are an indicator of the situation the city is in today, trends in the stores and their characteristics can promote understanding of how the city has changed.

The traditional stores and marketplaces in Venice reflect changes in the economic and political history of the city. Because of the changes that have occurred in Venice, there have been drastic changes in the ways that traditional marketplaces in Venice operate. For example, the Rialto marketplace, the most famous market in Venice, has changed a lot since it was created. For most of its history the Rialto was the main market where the necessities of daily life were sold, though not the only one. The biggest change in the Rialto market came about in the twentieth century, when the retail and wholesale markets –originally combined on this site –were split, causing a large shift in types of the people shopping in there.<ref> James H. McGregor, ''Venice from the Ground Up'' (Cambridge, Mass: Belknap Press of Harvard University Press, 2006), 272-273. </ref> Big changes have also occurred in other marketplaces, including the old fish market and the old produce and cheese markets.

==Types and Number of Stores==
There is a total of 4,980 stores in Venice. These stores are varied, including stores selling goods like food, souvenirs, clothing, and art and stores selling services like real estate, funeral services, and repair.
 
 
 
[[File:Total Stores.jpeg|thumb|center|800px|Total Stores in Venice]]

 
 
 
These stores are distributed throughout the six ''sestieri'' of Venice. The districts with the highest density of stores are San Marco and San Polo, the districts with the higest population of tourists.
 
 
 
[[File:Store Locations.png|thumb|center|400px|Chart of Store Densities]]
 
 
 
There are three main categories of stores in Venice: stores catering to tourists, stores catering to residents, and stores catering to both. These categories can be further refined by stores predominantly catering to tourists, stores somewhat catering to tourists, stores predominantly catering to residents, and stores somewhat catering to residents. The percentage of stores catering to tourists in Venice is 72%, while the percentage of stores catering to residents is 22% and serving both is 6%.
 
 
 
[[File:Types.png|thumb|center|400px|Chart of Store Types]]
 
 
 
==Changing Patterns of Stores==
Because there has been a steady decline of residents living in Venice and a large increase in tourists visiting Venice, the numbers of each type of store has been shifting.

Since 2004, there have been at least 44 stores that have changed from catering to residents to catering to tourists. The main reason for the increase in [[Tourist Stores|tourist stores]] is that if there is a high population loss in an area along with an increase in the density of tourist beds, there will be a trend in stores changing from serving the local population to serving the tourist population. The exception to this is that if the area already has many [[Tourist Stores|tourist stores]], there will not be a large increase in the number of stores changing to [[Tourist Stores|tourist stores]].
 
 
 
[[File:TC Bed Change.jpeg|thumb|center|800px|Changing Tourist Stores in Venice]]
 
 
 
Likewise, since 2004 there have been at least 37 stores that have changed from catering to tourists to catering to residents. There are many possible reasons for these changes, including lack of supply in certain areas of Venice, oversaturation of [[Tourist Stores|tourist stores]], and increase in population. One possiblity for this is that, in the rush to cater to tourists, there was a drop in stores catering to residents. This drop created a drop in the supply, even though there was still demand in the area for resident stores. Because there is still a demand for [[Resident Stores|resident stores]], there are now more stores moving in that are catering to residents.
 
 
 
[[File:RC-Pop change.jpeg|thumb|center|800px|Changing Resident Stores in Venice]]
 
 
 
===Supermarkets===
Another big change that is occurring in Venice is the spread of large supermarkets. Traditionally, Venice has only had small specialty food stores like bakeries, produce stores, or dairy stores that provided specific products. However, the first supermarket in Italy opened in 1957 in Milan, setting off a wave of supermarkets that would soon spread throughout all of Italy. In 2010, a group of students from Worcester Polytechnic Institute found that there were thirteen supermarkets, throughout the different sestieri in Venice. Although supermarkets offer goods at lower prices with greater convenience, they have contributed to the decline of local shops and stalls. In 2006, a different group of students interviewed locals and many locals had concluded that ninety-three percent of residents shop at supermarkets either always or often and only about twenty-five percent of residents shop at small stores regularly.<ref> Christopher Pinola et al., "A Detailed Look at the Changing Venetian Retail Sector" (Worcester Polytechnic Institute, 2012). </ref> Supermarkets are able to provide a variety of goods at low prices and are very convenient places to shop. By providing an alternate model of shopping that is cheaper and more convenient than smaller shops, they have taken away demand for smaller, more expensive shops.

'''Accommodations''', known in Italian as "alloggio", are any establishment that provides short-term residence for tourists in Venice in exchange for money. This includes hotels, bed and breakfasts, and parts of privately owned properties.
 

==History==
===Tourism in Venice===
Venice’s unique position on the lagoon has always attracted people to visit and admire it. Venice has catered to tourists from medieval to modern days. Tourism has thrived in Venice for hundreds of years, with Venice receiving a large and varied group of tourists every year. Even in the 1700s, people noticed Venice’s catering to tourists, saying, “Our gondoliers… rowed smoothly by the side of a broad pavement, covered with people in all dresses and of all nations” <ref> Marqusee, Mike. 1989. Venice: An Illustrated Anthology. Topsfield, Ma: Salem House.</ref> For centuries, Venice has drawn foreign visitors and their money to itself.
In order to care for all of these tourists, the accommodation industry has flourished with hotels and other accommodations flourishing. Recently, there has been a huge increase in the number of accommodations and number of beds that these accommodations contain.

==Increase in Demand for Tourist Accommodations==
Tourist accommodations, establishments for short-term overnight residence such as hotels and bed and breakfasts, are another indicator of changes occurring in the city of Venice. The rise and expansion of the tourist accommodations throughout the historic center provides insight into the increase of tourism and helps explain how the economy has shifted from providing for the residents’ needs to attending to the tourists’ desires.

===Tourist Accommodations in Venice===
As previously stated, Venice has experienced a steep increase in tourism over the past few decades. As a result, it has taken measures to ensure it has the necessary infrastructure to cope with the flood of people. The effects of tourism can be observed through the spread of tourist accommodations in Venice. As Venice’s appeal to tourists around the world increased, the need for new tourist accommodations grew. In fact, “without the swell of tourism, Venice –devastated by the French two centuries ago –might very well have vanished. The buildings along the Grand Canal that survived that cataclysm did so in large part because they were readily convertible to hotels and vacation rentals” <ref>McGregor, James H. 2006. Venice from the Ground Up. Cambridge, Mass: Belknap Press of Harvard University Press.</ref> Slowly and steadily, Venice started to transform and take new form through the development of the accommodation sector.
The high demand for tourist accommodations led to the rise of many hotels and bed and breakfasts. However, since Venice has seen its tourist levels increase from year to year, some residents have taken the opportunity to rent part of their houses to tourists in order to make a profit. In 1999 a new legislation, “Le Leggi Sul Bed and Breakfast Come Aprire un B&B in Veneto,” was created to regulate and also facilitate the creation of new bed and breakfasts and similar establishments <ref>Reg. Veneto. "Le Leggi Sul Bed and Breakfast Come Aprire un B&B in Veneto." Turismo e Strutture Ricettive. BU Veneto, last modified 26 October 1999, http://www.bed-and-breakfast.it/leggi_bed_and_breakfast_veneto.cfm.</ref> The city of Venice used this legislation to create more incentive to support tourism. By making it easier for these establishments to be created, the legislation stimulated competition in the market and promoted lower lodging prices. As a result of this new law, the number of accommodations in Venice increased a total of 793%, going from 191 to 1516 in nine years <ref>Carrera, Fabio. "The Harbinger of Alberghi." Venice 2.0., last modified April 18, accessed September 10, 2012, http://venice2point0.blogspot.com/2009/04/harbinger-of-alberghi.html.</ref> The number of B&Bs and rooms to rent alone have risen 1008% <ref>Mosto, Jane Da. 2010. The Venice Report: Demography, Tourism, Financing and Change of use of Buildings. Cambridge (Eng): Cambridge University.</ref> This growth in tourist accommodations has led to a rise in tourist arrivals (number of tourists) and presences (number of nights spent in the city). Based on data gathered in 2008, the COSES Report concluded that Venice had the capacity to accommodate 26,000 visitors comfortably and predicted that the city would not be able to function if it hosted 86,000 tourists a day <ref>Carrera, Fabio. "The Harbinger of Alberghi." Venice 2.0., last modified April 18, accessed September 10, 2012, http://venice2point0.blogspot.com/2009/04/harbinger-of-alberghi.html.</ref> Currently, the average influx of tourists is set around 59,000 people. The high number of tourists is strongly affecting the city by decreasing the comfort level and mobility of its residents.

===Trends in Tourist Accommodations===
According to the Venice Report and the Comune di Venezia, the number of beds has increased a total of 18% for hotels and 49% for other accommodation establishments over the past 6 years. The expansion of tourist accommodations other than hotels is much more significant than the expansion of hotels. The types and numbers of hotels and non-hotels for the historic center can be found in Appendix F. “Indisputably this has deducted accommodation from the residential stock; the Assessorato alle Politiche della Residenza of the Comune says that 44% of the 952 B&Bs opened 2001 – 2007 – 420 habitants – have been restructured internally so that they are no longer suitable for private occupancy” <ref>Mosto, Jane Da. 2010. The Venice Report: Demography, Tourism, Financing and Change of use of Buildings. Cambridge (Eng): Cambridge University.</ref> The arrival of tourists has been increasing for both hotels and non-hotels, but the average number of nights spent by tourists is consistently higher for non-hotels.

[[File:Number_of_beds_2006-2011.png‎|center|thumb|400px|Graph of Number of Beds 2006-2011]]

===Consequences of the Increase in the Number of Tourist Accommodations===
The number of tourist accommodations in Venice has been consistently and rapidly increasing and, along with stores, reflects the transformation of the city of Venice. This increase is directly related to the rise of tourism and the boost tourism has created in the local economy, as shown below.

[[File:Tourists_vs_tourist_accommodations.png|thumb|center‎|400px|Graph Tourists vs Tourist Accommodations]]

However, it has also had a negative effect in the city. According to the Venice Report, “planning laws have been liberalized to allow private homes to be turned into B&Bs and rooms to rent. On the one hand, this has ensured the maintenance of these buildings, on the other it has reduced the number of habitations available to residents by about 420 units and has contributed to the doubling of property prices since 2000, further encouraging residents to leave” <ref>Mosto, Jane Da. 2010. The Venice Report: Demography, Tourism, Financing and Change of use of Buildings. Cambridge (Eng): Cambridge University.</ref> Although there has been a significant decrease in the population and more properties have become available, real estate prices have been rising. Currenty, “property is exceptionally expensive in Venice, with a 1,000-square-foot apartment going for up to $1.3 million in the historic center, and more on the Grand Canal, but half or a quarter of that on the terra firma across the lagoon” <ref>Povoledo, Elisabetta. 2006. Vanishing Venice: A City Swamped by a Sea of Tourists. http://find.galegroup.com/gic/infomark.do?&source=gale&idigest=e2ec5eb891e9fec2746ebba219ddc64c&prodId=GIC&userGroupName=mlin_c_worpoly&tabID=T004&docId=A152139168&type=retrieve&contentSet=IAC-Documents&version=1.0</ref> Property prices, both for private and public properties, have steadily increased over the past decade. Since 2000, “there have been annual price increases of 11.21 per cent for residential property, 5.84 per cent for offices premises and 6.70 per cent for commercial premises such as shops” <ref>Mosto, Jane Da. 2010. The Venice Report: Demography, Tourism, Financing and Change of use of Buildings. Cambridge (Eng): Cambridge University.</ref> Since housing is cheaper across the lagoon, many residents have been leaving the city center to live on the mainland <ref>McGregor, James H. 2006. Venice from the Ground Up. Cambridge, Mass: Belknap Press of Harvard University Press.</ref> People have become concerned about the spiral effect that is attracting more tourists and driving away more residents. In order to alleviate this problem, the city of Venice has made efforts “to bolster the population by building 500 to 600 apartments in three far-flung areas — Santa Marta, Cannaregio and Castello — for rent to middle-class families, the group at the greatest risk of vanishing” <ref>Povoledo, Elisabetta. 2006. Vanishing Venice: A City Swamped by a Sea of Tourists. http://find.galegroup.com/gic/infomark.do?&source=gale&idigest=e2ec5eb891e9fec2746ebba219ddc64c&prodId=GIC&userGroupName=mlin_c_worpoly&tabID=T004&docId=A152139168&type=retrieve&contentSet=IAC-Documents&version=1.0</ref> By doing so, the city hopes to keep residents in the city and stop the spiral.

==Trends in Accommodations==
===Tourism===
The total number of tourists visiting Venice each year is much harder to track, due to the high influx of excursionist tourists each day. Tourists arrive in Venice using different types of transportation, and the crew ships bring in a large portion of the tourists. ISTAT releases data on the number of residential tourists staying in Venice yearly and the number of tourists coming in in crew ships, however the only numbers of excursionist tourists are an estimation based on the percent difference between resident and excursionist tourists present in Venice at any given day. The IQP project conducted in 1999 estimated that the residential tourists made up a quarter of the total tourist population. Based on that estimation and on the assumption that the percent difference between residential and excursionist tourists has remained roughly the same, the total number of tourists in Venice from 1971 to 2010 was estimated and is shown below.

‎[[File:Total_number_of_tourists_1971-2010.png|thumb|center|400px|Graph Total Number of Tourists 1971-2010]]

===Accommodations===
The drastic increase in the tourist population in Venice has resulted in changes in city so it could accommodate and provide for the tourists. As shown below, there were only 191 tourist accommodations and a total of 11,208 beds in Venice in 1999.

‎[[File:Number_of_hotels_and_beds_1999.png|thumb|center|400px|Hotels and Beds in 1999]]

However, in 2008, only 9 years later, the number of tourist accommodations was 1,516 with a total of 22,935 beds throughout the city, as shown below. This increase represents and increase of over 87% in the number of accommodations and over a 50% increase in the number of beds.

==History==
===Tourism in Venice===
Venice’s unique position on the lagoon has always attracted people to visit and admire it. Venice has catered to tourists from medieval to modern days. Tourism has thrived in Venice for hundreds of years, with Venice receiving a large and varied group of tourists every year. Even in the 1700s, people noticed Venice’s catering to tourists, saying, “Our gondoliers… rowed smoothly by the side of a broad pavement, covered with people in all dresses and of all nations” <ref> Marqusee, Mike. 1989. Venice: An Illustrated Anthology. Topsfield, Ma: Salem House.</ref> For centuries, Venice has drawn foreign visitors and their money to itself.
There are two main types of tourists in Venice. The first kind is a residential tourist, or tourist that spends at least one night in Venice in a hotel, boarding house, bed and breakfast, etc. The second kind is an excursionist tourist, or tourist that spends the day in Venice, but does not stay overnight. Data on residential tourists is available through ISTAT, but data on excursionist tourists is much harder to gather, so our team will estimate the number of those tourists based on reasonable assumptions that relate them to residential tourists.

===Problems Caused by Tourism===
The problems with tourism in Venice started when tourists began arriving in overwhelming numbers. Since the 1970s, the number of tourists visiting Venice has increased by leaps and bounds. In 1971, the number of tourists spending at least one night in Venice was 929,112, spending a total of 1,901,208 nights in Venice. In 2011, the number of tourists increased to 2,500,882, spending a total of 6,227,276 nights in Venice <ref>Comune di Venezia. “Confronto tra i Censimenti della Popolazione e delle Abitazioni del 1971, del 1981, del 1991 e del 2001.” Fonte: ISTAT, last modified 21/01/2010, accessed 27/09/2012, http://www.comune.venezia.it/flex/cm/pages/ServeBLOB.php/L/IT/IDPagina/4807.</ref> The number of tourist arrivals (number of tourists) in Venice has increased 269% while the number of tourist presences (number of nights spent in Venice) has increased 328% in 40 years. These numbers have been steadily increasing every year, as shown in the figure below.

[[File:Tourist_arrivals_vs_presences.png|thumb|center|400px|Graph Tourists Arrivals vs Presences]]

In a city with a population of less than 60,000, these numbers are unsustainable. In 1991, Paolo Costa, the rector of the University of Venice, determined that the socio-economic carrying capacity of Venice was 25,000 tourists per day <ref>Coccossis, Harry, Anna Collovini, and Alexandra Mexa. 2002.

==Increase in Demand for Tourist Accommodations==
Tourist accommodations, establishments for short-term overnight residence such as hotels and bed and breakfasts, are another indicator of changes occurring in the city of Venice. The rise and expansion of the tourist accommodations throughout the historic center provides insight into the increase of tourism and helps explain how the economy has shifted from providing for the residents’ needs to attending to the tourists’ desires.

===Tourist Accommodations in Venice===
As previously stated, Venice has experienced a steep increase in tourism over the past few decades. As a result, it has taken measures to ensure it has the necessary infrastructure to cope with the flood of people. The effects of tourism can be observed through the spread of tourist accommodations in Venice. As Venice’s appeal to tourists around the world increased, the need for new tourist accommodations grew. In fact, “without the swell of tourism, Venice –devastated by the French two centuries ago –might very well have vanished. The buildings along the Grand Canal that survived that cataclysm did so in large part because they were readily convertible to hotels and vacation rentals” <ref>McGregor, James H. 2006. Venice from the Ground Up. Cambridge, Mass: Belknap Press of Harvard University Press.</ref> Slowly and steadily, Venice started to transform and take new form through the development of the accommodation sector.
The high demand for tourist accommodations led to the rise of many hotels and bed and breakfasts. However, since Venice has seen its tourist levels increase from year to year, some residents have taken the opportunity to rent part of their houses to tourists in order to make a profit. In 1999 a new legislation, “Le Leggi Sul Bed and Breakfast Come Aprire un B&B in Veneto,” was created to regulate and also facilitate the creation of new bed and breakfasts and similar establishments <ref>Reg. Veneto. "Le Leggi Sul Bed and Breakfast Come Aprire un B&B in Veneto." Turismo e Strutture Ricettive. BU Veneto, last modified 26 October 1999, http://www.bed-and-breakfast.it/leggi_bed_and_breakfast_veneto.cfm.</ref> The city of Venice used this legislation to create more incentive to support tourism. By making it easier for these establishments to be created, the legislation stimulated competition in the market and promoted lower lodging prices. As a result of this new law, the number of accommodations in Venice increased a total of 793%, going from 191 to 1516 in nine years <ref>Carrera, Fabio. "The Harbinger of Alberghi." Venice 2.0., last modified April 18, accessed September 10, 2012, http://venice2point0.blogspot.com/2009/04/harbinger-of-alberghi.html.</ref> The number of B&Bs and rooms to rent alone have risen 1008% <ref>Mosto, Jane Da. 2010. The Venice Report: Demography, Tourism, Financing and Change of use of Buildings. Cambridge (Eng): Cambridge University.</ref> This growth in tourist accommodations has led to a rise in tourist arrivals (number of tourists) and presences (number of nights spent in the city). Based on data gathered in 2008, the COSES Report concluded that Venice had the capacity to accommodate 26,000 visitors comfortably and predicted that the city would not be able to function if it hosted 86,000 tourists a day <ref>Carrera, Fabio. "The Harbinger of Alberghi." Venice 2.0., last modified April 18, accessed September 10, 2012, http://venice2point0.blogspot.com/2009/04/harbinger-of-alberghi.html.</ref> Currently, the average influx of tourists is set around 59,000 people. The high number of tourists is strongly affecting the city by decreasing the comfort level and mobility of its residents.

===Trends in Tourist Accommodations===
According to the Venice Report and the Comune di Venezia, the number of beds has increased a total of 18% for hotels and 49% for other accommodation establishments over the past 6 years. The expansion of tourist accommodations other than hotels is much more significant than the expansion of hotels. The types and numbers of hotels and non-hotels for the historic center can be found in Appendix F. “Indisputably this has deducted accommodation from the residential stock; the Assessorato alle Politiche della Residenza of the Comune says that 44% of the 952 B&Bs opened 2001 – 2007 – 420 habitants – have been restructured internally so that they are no longer suitable for private occupancy” <ref>Mosto, Jane Da. 2010. The Venice Report: Demography, Tourism, Financing and Change of use of Buildings. Cambridge (Eng): Cambridge University.</ref> The arrival of tourists has been increasing for both hotels and non-hotels, but the average number of nights spent by tourists is consistently higher for non-hotels.

===Consequences of the Increase in the Number of Tourist Accommodations===
The number of tourist accommodations in Venice has been consistently and rapidly increasing and, along with stores, reflects the transformation of the city of Venice. This increase is directly related to the rise of tourism and the boost tourism has created in the local economy, as shown below.

[[File:Tourists_vs_tourist_accommodations.png|thumb|center‎|400px|Graph Tourists vs Tourist Accommodations]]

However, it has also had a negative effect in the city. According to the Venice Report, “planning laws have been liberalized to allow private homes to be turned into B&Bs and rooms to rent. On the one hand, this has ensured the maintenance of these buildings, on the other it has reduced the number of habitations available to residents by about 420 units and has contributed to the doubling of property prices since 2000, further encouraging residents to leave” <ref>Mosto, Jane Da. 2010. The Venice Report: Demography, Tourism, Financing and Change of use of Buildings. Cambridge (Eng): Cambridge University.</ref> Although there has been a significant decrease in the population and more properties have become available, real estate prices have been rising. Currenty, “property is exceptionally expensive in Venice, with a 1,000-square-foot apartment going for up to $1.3 million in the historic center, and more on the Grand Canal, but half or a quarter of that on the terra firma across the lagoon” <ref>Povoledo, Elisabetta. 2006. Vanishing Venice: A City Swamped by a Sea of Tourists. http://find.galegroup.com/gic/infomark.do?&source=gale&idigest=e2ec5eb891e9fec2746ebba219ddc64c&prodId=GIC&userGroupName=mlin_c_worpoly&tabID=T004&docId=A152139168&type=retrieve&contentSet=IAC-Documents&version=1.0</ref> Property prices, both for private and public properties, have steadily increased over the past decade. Since 2000, “there have been annual price increases of 11.21 per cent for residential property, 5.84 per cent for offices premises and 6.70 per cent for commercial premises such as shops” <ref>Mosto, Jane Da. 2010. The Venice Report: Demography, Tourism, Financing and Change of use of Buildings. Cambridge (Eng): Cambridge University.</ref> Since housing is cheaper across the lagoon, many residents have been leaving the city center to live on the mainland <ref>McGregor, James H. 2006. Venice from the Ground Up. Cambridge, Mass: Belknap Press of Harvard University Press.</ref> People have become concerned about the spiral effect that is attracting more tourists and driving away more residents. In order to alleviate this problem, the city of Venice has made efforts “to bolster the population by building 500 to 600 apartments in three far-flung areas — Santa Marta, Cannaregio and Castello — for rent to middle-class families, the group at the greatest risk of vanishing” <ref>Povoledo, Elisabetta. 2006. Vanishing Venice: A City Swamped by a Sea of Tourists. http://find.galegroup.com/gic/infomark.do?&source=gale&idigest=e2ec5eb891e9fec2746ebba219ddc64c&prodId=GIC&userGroupName=mlin_c_worpoly&tabID=T004&docId=A152139168&type=retrieve&contentSet=IAC-Documents&version=1.0</ref> By doing so, the city hopes to keep residents in the city and stop the spiral.

==Trends in Accommodations==
===Tourism===
The total number of tourists visiting Venice each year is much harder to track, due to the high influx of excursionist tourists each day. Tourists arrive in Venice using different types of transportation, and the crew ships bring in a large portion of the tourists. ISTAT releases data on the number of residential tourists staying in Venice yearly and the number of tourists coming in in crew ships, however the only numbers of excursionist tourists are an estimation based on the percent difference between resident and excursionist tourists present in Venice at any given day. The IQP project conducted in 1999 estimated that the residential tourists made up a quarter of the total tourist population. Based on that estimation and on the assumption that the percent difference between residential and excursionist tourists has remained roughly the same, the total number of tourists in Venice from 1971 to 2010 was estimated and is shown below.

‎[[File:Total_number_of_tourists_1971-2010.png|thumb|center|400px|Graph Total Number of Tourists 1971-2010]]

===Accommodations===
The drastic increase in the tourist population in Venice has resulted in changes in city so it could accommodate and provide for the tourists. As shown below, there were only 191 tourist accommodations and a total of 11,208 beds in Venice in 1999.

‎[[File:Number_of_hotels_and_beds_1999.png|thumb|center|400px|Hotels and Beds in 1999]]

However, in 2008, only 9 years later, the number of tourist accommodations was 1,516 with a total of 22,935 beds throughout the city, as shown below. This increase represents and increase of over 87% in the number of accommodations and over a 50% increase in the number of beds.

Closed stores can be found throughout Venice even though the number of residents is significant and the number of tourists visiting the city each year have been steadily increasing.
 

==Types and Number of Stores==
There are a total of 1023 closed stores in Venice. These stores are scarred throughout the city.

[[File:Closed_Stores.png|thumb|center|400px|Total Tourist Stores in Venice]]

The islands with the highest density of closed stores are Cannaregio, Castello, San Marco, and San Polo, the districts with the higest percent population loss.

[[File:High_conc._of_closed_stores.png|thumb|center|400px|Highest Densities of Closed Stores]]

The islands with the lowest density of tourist stores are in Dorsoduro and Santa Croce, the districts with the lowest percent population loss.

[[File:Low_conc._of_closed_stores.png|thumb|center|400px|Lowest Densities of Closed Stores]]

The concentration of closed stores is not very high in the islands that have lost the most population, which is probably due to the population loss being offset by the growth of tourists in the area. Although the population is declining, the number of tourists keeps the demand for products high.

'''Accommodations''', known in Italian as "alloggio", are any establishment that provides short-term residence for tourists in Venice in exchange for money. This includes hotels, bed and breakfasts, and parts of privately owned properties.
 

==History==
===Tourism in Venice===
Venice’s unique position on the lagoon has always attracted people to visit and admire it. Venice has catered to tourists from medieval to modern days. Tourism has thrived in Venice for hundreds of years, with Venice receiving a large and varied group of tourists every year. Even in the 1700s, people noticed Venice’s catering to tourists, saying, “Our gondoliers… rowed smoothly by the side of a broad pavement, covered with people in all dresses and of all nations” <ref> Marqusee, Mike. 1989. Venice: An Illustrated Anthology. Topsfield, Ma: Salem House.</ref> For centuries, Venice has drawn foreign visitors and their money to itself.
There are two main types of tourists in Venice. The first kind is a residential tourist, or tourist that spends at least one night in Venice in a hotel, boarding house, bed and breakfast, etc. The second kind is an excursionist tourist, or tourist that spends the day in Venice, but does not stay overnight. Data on residential tourists is available through ISTAT, but data on excursionist tourists is much harder to gather, so our team will estimate the number of those tourists based on reasonable assumptions that relate them to residential tourists.

===Problems Caused by Tourism===
The problems with tourism in Venice started when tourists began arriving in overwhelming numbers. Since the 1970s, the number of tourists visiting Venice has increased by leaps and bounds. In 1971, the number of tourists spending at least one night in Venice was 929,112, spending a total of 1,901,208 nights in Venice. In 2011, the number of tourists increased to 2,500,882, spending a total of 6,227,276 nights in Venice <ref>Comune di Venezia. “Confronto tra i Censimenti della Popolazione e delle Abitazioni del 1971, del 1981, del 1991 e del 2001.” Fonte: ISTAT, last modified 21/01/2010, accessed 27/09/2012, http://www.comune.venezia.it/flex/cm/pages/ServeBLOB.php/L/IT/IDPagina/4807.</ref> The number of tourist arrivals (number of tourists) in Venice has increased 269% while the number of tourist presences (number of nights spent in Venice) has increased 328% in 40 years. These numbers have been steadily increasing every year, as shown in the figure below.

[[File:Tourist_arrivals_vs_presences.png|thumb|center|400px|Graph Tourists Arrivals vs Presences]]

In a city with a population of less than 60,000, these numbers are unsustainable. In 1991, Paolo Costa, the rector of the University of Venice, determined that the socio-economic carrying capacity of Venice was 25,000 tourists per day <ref>Coccossis, Harry, Anna Collovini, and Alexandra Mexa. 2002. Defining, Measuring, and Evaluating Carrying Capacity in European Tourism Destinations. Athens: University of the Aegean - Department of Environmental Studies.</ref> With the number of tourists visiting Venice greatly surpassing this limit, some residents have become very unhappy. Some residents have even compared the tourists to animals, saying, “The tourists are the pigeons in St. Mark's Square…They come, look around, leave and don't even know where they've been” and “[My] 84-year-old mother cannot leave the house after 8:30 a.m. Why? That’s when the cows start coming” <ref>Feuer, Alan. 2004. To Venetians' Sorrow, the Sightseers Come in Battalions. http://find.galegroup.com/gic/infomark.do?&source=gale&idigest=e2ec5eb891e9fec2746ebba219ddc64c&prodId=GIC&userGroupName=mlin_c_worpoly&tabID=T004&docId=A117987192&type=retrieve&contentSet=IAC-Documents&version=1.0.</ref> The sheer number of tourists arriving in the city is strongly affecting the people and the economy of Venice.
As a result of the increasing numbers of tourists, the economy of Venice has become geared towards supplying the tourists’ needs and desires (Pinola et al. 2012). Numerous souvenir shops and accommodations catering to tourists have been appearing throughout the entire city. The problem “is that Venice is addicted to tourism, which accounts for over 70 percent of its economy. As with any drug, however, the chance of overdose exists” <ref>Feuer, Alan. 2004. To Venetians' Sorrow, the Sightseers Come in Battalions. http://find.galegroup.com/gic/infomark.do?&source=gale&idigest=e2ec5eb891e9fec2746ebba219ddc64c&prodId=GIC&userGroupName=mlin_c_worpoly&tabID=T004&docId=A117987192&type=retrieve&contentSet=IAC-Documents&version=1.0.</ref> As shown in the figure below, the number of tourists has been rising drastically compared to the local population.

The effects of tourism can be observed through the spread of tourist accommodations in Venice. As Venice’s appeal to tourists around the world increased, the need for new tourist accommodations grew.

However, it has also had a negative effect in the city. According to the Venice Report, “planning laws have been liberalized to allow private homes to be turned into B&Bs and rooms to rent. On the one hand, this has ensured the maintenance of these buildings, on the other it has reduced the number of habitations available to residents by about 420 units and has contributed to the doubling of property prices since 2000, further encouraging residents to leave” <ref>Mosto, Jane Da. 2010. The Venice Report: Demography, Tourism, Financing and Change of use of Buildings. Cambridge (Eng): Cambridge University.</ref> Although there has been a significant decrease in the population and more properties have become available, real estate prices have been rising. Currenty, “property is exceptionally expensive in Venice, with a 1,000-square-foot apartment going for up to $1.3 million in the historic center, and more on the Grand Canal, but half or a quarter of that on the terra firma across the lagoon” <ref>Povoledo, Elisabetta. 2006. Vanishing Venice: A City Swamped by a Sea of Tourists. http://find.galegroup.com/gic/infomark.do?&source=gale&idigest=e2ec5eb891e9fec2746ebba219ddc64c&prodId=GIC&userGroupName=mlin_c_worpoly&tabID=T004&docId=A152139168&type=retrieve&contentSet=IAC-Documents&version=1.0</ref> Property prices, both for private and public properties, have steadily increased over the past decade. Since 2000, “there have been annual price increases of 11.21 per cent for residential property, 5.84 per cent for offices premises and 6.70 per cent for commercial premises such as shops” <ref>Mosto, Jane Da. 2010. The Venice Report: Demography, Tourism, Financing and Change of use of Buildings. Cambridge (Eng): Cambridge University.</ref> Since housing is cheaper across the lagoon, many residents have been leaving the city center to live on the mainland <ref>McGregor, James H. 2006. Venice from the Ground Up. Cambridge, Mass: Belknap Press of Harvard University Press.</ref> People have become concerned about the spiral effect that is attracting more tourists and driving away more residents. In order to alleviate this problem, the city of Venice has made efforts “to bolster the population by building 500 to 600 apartments in three far-flung areas — Santa Marta, Cannaregio and Castello — for rent to middle-class families, the group at the greatest risk of vanishing” <ref>Povoledo, Elisabetta. 2006. Vanishing Venice: A City Swamped by a Sea of Tourists. http://find.galegroup.com/gic/infomark.do?&source=gale&idigest=e2ec5eb891e9fec2746ebba219ddc64c&prodId=GIC&userGroupName=mlin_c_worpoly&tabID=T004&docId=A152139168&type=retrieve&contentSet=IAC-Documents&version=1.0</ref> By doing so, the city hopes to keep residents in the city and stop the spiral.

==Trends in Accommodations==
===Tourism===
The total number of tourists visiting Venice each year is much harder to track, due to the high influx of excursionist tourists each day. Tourists arrive in Venice using different types of transportation, and the crew ships bring in a large portion of the tourists. ISTAT releases data on the number of residential tourists staying in Venice yearly and the number of tourists coming in in crew ships, however the only numbers of excursionist tourists are an estimation based on the percent difference between resident and excursionist tourists present in Venice at any given day. The IQP project conducted in 1999 estimated that the residential tourists made up a quarter of the total tourist population. Based on that estimation and on the assumption that the percent difference between residential and excursionist tourists has remained roughly the same, the total number of tourists in Venice from 1971 to 2010 was estimated and is shown below.

===Accommodations===
The drastic increase in the tourist population in Venice has resulted in changes in city so it could accommodate and provide for the tourists. As shown below, there were only 191 tourist accommodations and a total of 11,208 beds in Venice in 1999.

‎[[File:Number_of_hotels_and_beds_1999.png|thumb|center|400px|Hotels and Beds in 1999]]

However, in 2008, only 9 years later, the number of tourist accommodations was 1,516 with a total of 22,935 beds throughout the city, as shown below. This increase represents and increase of over 87% in the number of accommodations and over a 50% increase in the number of beds.

'''Accommodations''', known in Italian as "alloggio", are any establishment that provides short-term residence for tourists in Venice in exchange for money. This includes hotels, bed and breakfasts, and parts of privately owned properties.
 

==History==
===Tourism in Venice===
Venice’s unique position on the lagoon has always attracted people to visit and admire it. Venice has catered to tourists from medieval to modern days. Tourism has thrived in Venice for hundreds of years, with Venice receiving a large and varied group of tourists every year. Even in the 1700s, people noticed Venice’s catering to tourists, saying, “Our gondoliers… rowed smoothly by the side of a broad pavement, covered with people in all dresses and of all nations” <ref> Marqusee, Mike. 1989. Venice: An Illustrated Anthology. Topsfield, Ma: Salem House.</ref> For centuries, Venice has drawn foreign visitors and their money to itself.
There are two main types of tourists in Venice. The first kind is a residential tourist, or tourist that spends at least one night in Venice in a hotel, boarding house, bed and breakfast, etc. The second kind is an excursionist tourist, or tourist that spends the day in Venice, but does not stay overnight. Data on residential tourists is available through ISTAT, but data on excursionist tourists is much harder to gather, so our team will estimate the number of those tourists based on reasonable assumptions that relate them to residential tourists.

===Problems Caused by Tourism===
The problems with tourism in Venice started when tourists began arriving in overwhelming numbers. Since the 1970s, the number of tourists visiting Venice has increased by leaps and bounds. In 1971, the number of tourists spending at least one night in Venice was 929,112, spending a total of 1,901,208 nights in Venice. In 2011, the number of tourists increased to 2,500,882, spending a total of 6,227,276 nights in Venice <ref>Comune di Venezia. “Confronto tra i Censimenti della Popolazione e delle Abitazioni del 1971, del 1981, del 1991 e del 2001.” Fonte: ISTAT, last modified 21/01/2010, accessed 27/09/2012, http://www.comune.venezia.it/flex/cm/pages/ServeBLOB.php/L/IT/IDPagina/4807.</ref> The number of tourist arrivals (number of tourists) in Venice has increased 269% while the number of tourist presences (number of nights spent in Venice) has increased 328% in 40 years. These numbers have been steadily increasing every year, as shown in the figure below.

[[File:Tourist_arrivals_vs_presences.png|thumb|center|400px|Graph Tourists Arrivals vs Presences]]

In a city with a population of less than 60,000, these numbers are unsustainable. In 1991, Paolo Costa, the rector of the University of Venice, determined that the socio-economic carrying capacity of Venice was 25,000 tourists per day <ref>Coccossis, Harry, Anna Collovini, and Alexandra Mexa. 2002. Defining, Measuring, and Evaluating Carrying Capacity in European Tourism Destinations. Athens: University of the Aegean - Department of Environmental Studies.</ref> With the number of tourists visiting Venice greatly surpassing this limit, some residents have become very unhappy. Some residents have even compared the tourists to animals, saying, “The tourists are the pigeons in St. Mark's Square…They come, look around, leave and don't even know where they've been” and “[My] 84-year-old mother cannot leave the house after 8:30 a.m. Why? That’s when the cows start coming” <ref>Feuer, Alan. 2004. To Venetians' Sorrow, the Sightseers Come in Battalions. http://find.galegroup.com/gic/infomark.do?&source=gale&idigest=e2ec5eb891e9fec2746ebba219ddc64c&prodId=GIC&userGroupName=mlin_c_worpoly&tabID=T004&docId=A117987192&type=retrieve&contentSet=IAC-Documents&version=1.0.</ref> The sheer number of tourists arriving in the city is strongly affecting the people and the economy of Venice.
As a result of the increasing numbers of tourists, the economy of Venice has become geared towards supplying the tourists’ needs and desires (Pinola et al. 2012). Numerous souvenir shops and accommodations catering to tourists have been appearing throughout the entire city. The problem “is that Venice is addicted to tourism, which accounts for over 70 percent of its economy. As with any drug, however, the chance of overdose exists” <ref>Feuer, Alan. 2004. To Venetians' Sorrow, the Sightseers Come in Battalions. http://find.galegroup.com/gic/infomark.do?&source=gale&idigest=e2ec5eb891e9fec2746ebba219ddc64c&prodId=GIC&userGroupName=mlin_c_worpoly&tabID=T004&docId=A117987192&type=retrieve&contentSet=IAC-Documents&version=1.0.</ref> As shown in the figure below, the number of tourists has been rising drastically compared to the local population.

[[File:Graphic_Venetian_vs_Tourists.png|thumb|center|400px|Graphic Venetians vs Tourists]]

==Increase in Demand for Tourist Accommodations==
Tourist accommodations, establishments for short-term overnight residence such as hotels and bed and breakfasts, are another indicator of changes occurring in the city of Venice. The rise and expansion of the tourist accommodations throughout the historic center provides insight into the increase of tourism and helps explain how the economy has shifted from providing for the residents’ needs to attending to the tourists’ desires.

===Tourist Accommodations in Venice===
As previously stated, Venice has experienced a steep increase in tourism over the past few decades. As a result, it has taken measures to ensure it has the necessary infrastructure to cope with the flood of people. The effects of tourism can be observed through the spread of tourist accommodations in Venice. As Venice’s appeal to tourists around the world increased, the need for new tourist accommodations grew. In fact, “without the swell of tourism, Venice –devastated by the French two centuries ago –might very well have vanished. The buildings along the Grand Canal that survived that cataclysm did so in large part because they were readily convertible to hotels and vacation rentals” <ref>McGregor, James H. 2006. Venice from the Ground Up. Cambridge, Mass: Belknap Press of Harvard University Press.</ref> Slowly and steadily, Venice started to transform and take new form through the development of the accommodation sector.
The high demand for tourist accommodations led to the rise of many hotels and bed and breakfasts. However, since Venice has seen its tourist levels increase from year to year, some residents have taken the opportunity to rent part of their houses to tourists in order to make a profit. In 1999 a new legislation, “Le Leggi Sul Bed and Breakfast Come Aprire un B&B in Veneto,” was created to regulate and also facilitate the creation of new bed and breakfasts and similar establishments <ref>Reg. Veneto. "Le Leggi Sul Bed and Breakfast Come Aprire un B&B in Veneto." Turismo e Strutture Ricettive. BU Veneto, last modified 26 October 1999, http://www.bed-and-breakfast.it/leggi_bed_and_breakfast_veneto.cfm.</ref> The city of Venice used this legislation to create more incentive to support tourism. By making it easier for these establishments to be created, the legislation stimulated competition in the market and promoted lower lodging prices. As a result of this new law, the number of accommodations in Venice increased a total of 793%, going from 191 to 1516 in nine years <ref>Carrera, Fabio. "The Harbinger of Alberghi." Venice 2.0., last modified April 18, accessed September 10, 2012, http://venice2point0.blogspot.com/2009/04/harbinger-of-alberghi.html.</ref> The number of B&Bs and rooms to rent alone have risen 1008% <ref>Mosto, Jane Da. 2010. The Venice Report: Demography, Tourism, Financing and Change of use of Buildings. Cambridge (Eng): Cambridge University.</ref> This growth in tourist accommodations has led to a rise in tourist arrivals (number of tourists) and presences (number of nights spent in the city). Based on data gathered in 2008, the COSES Report concluded that Venice had the capacity to accommodate 26,000 visitors comfortably and predicted that the city would not be able to function if it hosted 86,000 tourists a day <ref>Carrera, Fabio. "The Harbinger of Alberghi." Venice 2.0., last modified April 18, accessed September 10, 2012, http://venice2point0.blogspot.com/2009/04/harbinger-of-alberghi.html.</ref> Currently, the average influx of tourists is set around 59,000 people. The high number of tourists is strongly affecting the city by decreasing the comfort level and mobility of its residents.

===Trends in Tourist Accommodations===
According to the Venice Report and the Comune di Venezia, the number of beds has increased a total of 18% for hotels and 49% for other accommodation establishments over the past 6 years. The expansion of tourist accommodations other than hotels is much more significant than the expansion of hotels. The types and numbers of hotels and non-hotels for the historic center can be found in Appendix F. “Indisputably this has deducted accommodation from the residential stock; the Assessorato alle Politiche della Residenza of the Comune says that 44% of the 952 B&Bs opened 2001 – 2007 – 420 habitants – have been restructured internally so that they are no longer suitable for private occupancy” <ref>Mosto, Jane Da. 2010. The Venice Report: Demography, Tourism, Financing and Change of use of Buildings. Cambridge (Eng): Cambridge University.</ref> The arrival of tourists has been increasing for both hotels and non-hotels, but the average number of nights spent by tourists is consistently higher for non-hotels.

===Consequences of the Increase in the Number of Tourist Accommodations===
The number of tourist accommodations in Venice has been consistently and rapidly increasing and, along with stores, reflects the transformation of the city of Venice. This increase is directly related to the rise of tourism and the boost tourism has created in the local economy, as shown below.

However, it has also had a negative effect in the city. According to the Venice Report, “planning laws have been liberalized to allow private homes to be turned into B&Bs and rooms to rent.

Since 2000, “there have been annual price increases of 11.21 per cent for residential property, 5.84 per cent for offices premises and 6.70 per cent for commercial premises such as shops” <ref>Mosto, Jane Da. 2010.

'''Accommodations''', known in Italian as "alloggio", are any establishment that provides short-term residence for tourists in Venice in exchange for money. This includes hotels, bed and breakfasts, and parts of privately owned properties.
 

==History==
===Tourism in Venice===
Venice’s unique position on the lagoon has always attracted people to visit and admire it. Venice has catered to tourists from medieval to modern days. Tourism has thrived in Venice for hundreds of years, with Venice receiving a large and varied group of tourists every year. Even in the 1700s, people noticed Venice’s catering to tourists, saying, “Our gondoliers… rowed smoothly by the side of a broad pavement, covered with people in all dresses and of all nations” <ref> Marqusee, Mike. 1989. Venice: An Illustrated Anthology. Topsfield, Ma: Salem House.</ref> For centuries, Venice has drawn foreign visitors and their money to itself.
There are two main types of tourists in Venice. The first kind is a residential tourist, or tourist that spends at least one night in Venice in a hotel, boarding house, bed and breakfast, etc. The second kind is an excursionist tourist, or tourist that spends the day in Venice, but does not stay overnight. Data on residential tourists is available through ISTAT, but data on excursionist tourists is much harder to gather, so our team will estimate the number of those tourists based on reasonable assumptions that relate them to residential tourists.

===Problems Caused by Tourism===
The problems with tourism in Venice started when tourists began arriving in overwhelming numbers. Since the 1970s, the number of tourists visiting Venice has increased by leaps and bounds. In 1971, the number of tourists spending at least one night in Venice was 929,112, spending a total of 1,901,208 nights in Venice. In 2011, the number of tourists increased to 2,500,882, spending a total of 6,227,276 nights in Venice <ref>Comune di Venezia. “Confronto tra i Censimenti della Popolazione e delle Abitazioni del 1971, del 1981, del 1991 e del 2001.” Fonte: ISTAT, last modified 21/01/2010, accessed 27/09/2012, http://www.comune.venezia.it/flex/cm/pages/ServeBLOB.php/L/IT/IDPagina/4807.</ref> The number of tourist arrivals (number of tourists) in Venice has increased 269% while the number of tourist presences (number of nights spent in Venice) has increased 328% in 40 years. These numbers have been steadily increasing every year, as shown in the figure below.

[[File:Tourist_arrivals_vs_presences.png|thumb|center|400px|Graph Tourists Arrivals vs Presences]]

In a city with a population of less than 60,000, these numbers are unsustainable. In 1991, Paolo Costa, the rector of the University of Venice, determined that the socio-economic carrying capacity of Venice was 25,000 tourists per day <ref>Coccossis, Harry, Anna Collovini, and Alexandra Mexa. 2002. Defining, Measuring, and Evaluating Carrying Capacity in European Tourism Destinations. Athens: University of the Aegean - Department of Environmental Studies.</ref> With the number of tourists visiting Venice greatly surpassing this limit, some residents have become very unhappy. Some residents have even compared the tourists to animals, saying, “The tourists are the pigeons in St. Mark's Square…They come, look around, leave and don't even know where they've been” and “[My] 84-year-old mother cannot leave the house after 8:30 a.m. Why? That’s when the cows start coming” <ref>Feuer, Alan. 2004. To Venetians' Sorrow, the Sightseers Come in Battalions. http://find.galegroup.com/gic/infomark.do?&source=gale&idigest=e2ec5eb891e9fec2746ebba219ddc64c&prodId=GIC&userGroupName=mlin_c_worpoly&tabID=T004&docId=A117987192&type=retrieve&contentSet=IAC-Documents&version=1.0.</ref> The sheer number of tourists arriving in the city is strongly affecting the people and the economy of Venice.
As a result of the increasing numbers of tourists, the economy of Venice has become geared towards supplying the tourists’ needs and desires (Pinola et al. 2012). Numerous souvenir shops and accommodations catering to tourists have been appearing throughout the entire city. The problem “is that Venice is addicted to tourism, which accounts for over 70 percent of its economy. As with any drug, however, the chance of overdose exists” <ref>Feuer, Alan. 2004. To Venetians' Sorrow, the Sightseers Come in Battalions. http://find.galegroup.com/gic/infomark.do?&source=gale&idigest=e2ec5eb891e9fec2746ebba219ddc64c&prodId=GIC&userGroupName=mlin_c_worpoly&tabID=T004&docId=A117987192&type=retrieve&contentSet=IAC-Documents&version=1.0.</ref> As shown in the figure below, the number of tourists has been rising drastically compared to the local population.

[[File:Graphic_Venetian_vs_Tourists.png|thumb|center|400px|Graphic Venetians vs Tourists]]

==Increase in Demand for Tourist Accommodations==
Tourist accommodations, establishments for short-term overnight residence such as hotels and bed and breakfasts, are another indicator of changes occurring in the city of Venice. The rise and expansion of the tourist accommodations throughout the historic center provides insight into the increase of tourism and helps explain how the economy has shifted from providing for the residents’ needs to attending to the tourists’ desires.

===Tourist Accommodations in Venice===
As previously stated, Venice has experienced a steep increase in tourism over the past few decades. As a result, it has taken measures to ensure it has the necessary infrastructure to cope with the flood of people. The effects of tourism can be observed through the spread of tourist accommodations in Venice. As Venice’s appeal to tourists around the world increased, the need for new tourist accommodations grew. In fact, “without the swell of tourism, Venice –devastated by the French two centuries ago –might very well have vanished. The buildings along the Grand Canal that survived that cataclysm did so in large part because they were readily convertible to hotels and vacation rentals” <ref>McGregor, James H. 2006. Venice from the Ground Up. Cambridge, Mass: Belknap Press of Harvard University Press.</ref> Slowly and steadily, Venice started to transform and take new form through the development of the accommodation sector.
The high demand for tourist accommodations led to the rise of many hotels and bed and breakfasts. However, since Venice has seen its tourist levels increase from year to year, some residents have taken the opportunity to rent part of their houses to tourists in order to make a profit. In 1999 a new legislation, “Le Leggi Sul Bed and Breakfast Come Aprire un B&B in Veneto,” was created to regulate and also facilitate the creation of new bed and breakfasts and similar establishments <ref>Reg. Veneto. "Le Leggi Sul Bed and Breakfast Come Aprire un B&B in Veneto." Turismo e Strutture Ricettive. BU Veneto, last modified 26 October 1999, http://www.bed-and-breakfast.it/leggi_bed_and_breakfast_veneto.cfm.</ref> The city of Venice used this legislation to create more incentive to support tourism. By making it easier for these establishments to be created, the legislation stimulated competition in the market and promoted lower lodging prices. As a result of this new law, the number of accommodations in Venice increased a total of 793%, going from 191 to 1516 in nine years <ref>Carrera, Fabio. "The Harbinger of Alberghi." Venice 2.0., last modified April 18, accessed September 10, 2012, http://venice2point0.blogspot.com/2009/04/harbinger-of-alberghi.html.</ref> The number of B&Bs and rooms to rent alone have risen 1008% <ref>Mosto, Jane Da. 2010. The Venice Report: Demography, Tourism, Financing and Change of use of Buildings. Cambridge (Eng): Cambridge University.</ref> This growth in tourist accommodations has led to a rise in tourist arrivals (number of tourists) and presences (number of nights spent in the city), as shown in the figures below. Based on data gathered in 2008, the COSES Report concluded that Venice had the capacity to accommodate 26,000 visitors comfortably and predicted that the city would not be able to function if it hosted 86,000 tourists a day <ref>Carrera, Fabio. "The Harbinger of Alberghi." Venice 2.0., last modified April 18, accessed September 10, 2012, http://venice2point0.blogspot.com/2009/04/harbinger-of-alberghi.html.</ref> Currently, the average influx of tourists is set around 59,000 people. The high number of tourists is strongly affecting the city by decreasing the comfort level and mobility of its residents.

===Trends in Tourist Accommodations===
According to the Venice Report and the Comune di Venezia, the number of beds has increased a total of 18% for hotels and 49% for other accommodation establishments over the past 6 years. The expansion of tourist accommodations other than hotels is much more significant than the expansion of hotels. The types and numbers of hotels and non-hotels for the historic center can be found in Appendix F. “Indisputably this has deducted accommodation from the residential stock; the Assessorato alle Politiche della Residenza of the Comune says that 44% of the 952 B&Bs opened 2001 – 2007 – 420 habitants – have been restructured internally so that they are no longer suitable for private occupancy” <ref>Mosto, Jane Da. 2010. The Venice Report: Demography, Tourism, Financing and Change of use of Buildings. Cambridge (Eng): Cambridge University.</ref> The arrival of tourists has been increasing for both hotels and non-hotels, but the average number of nights spent by tourists is consistently higher for non-hotels.

[[File:Number_of_beds_2006-2011.png‎|center|thumb|400px|Graph of Number of Beds 2006-2011]]

===Consequences of the Increase in the Number of Tourist Accommodations===
The number of tourist accommodations in Venice has been consistently and rapidly increasing and, along with stores, reflects the transformation of the city of Venice. This increase is directly related to the rise of tourism and the boost tourism has created in the local economy, as shown below.

[[File:Tourists_vs_tourist_accommodations.png|thumb|center‎|400px|Graph Tourists vs Tourist Accommodations]]

However, it has also had a negative effect in the city. According to the Venice Report, “planning laws have been liberalized to allow private homes to be turned into B&Bs and rooms to rent. On the one hand, this has ensured the maintenance of these buildings, on the other it has reduced the number of habitations available to residents by about 420 units and has contributed to the doubling of property prices since 2000, further encouraging residents to leave” <ref>Mosto, Jane Da. 2010. The Venice Report: Demography, Tourism, Financing and Change of use of Buildings. Cambridge (Eng): Cambridge University.</ref> Although there has been a significant decrease in the population and more properties have become available, real estate prices have been rising. Currenty, “property is exceptionally expensive in Venice, with a 1,000-square-foot apartment going for up to $1.3 million in the historic center, and more on the Grand Canal, but half or a quarter of that on the terra firma across the lagoon” <ref>Povoledo, Elisabetta. 2006. Vanishing Venice: A City Swamped by a Sea of Tourists. http://find.galegroup.com/gic/infomark.do?&source=gale&idigest=e2ec5eb891e9fec2746ebba219ddc64c&prodId=GIC&userGroupName=mlin_c_worpoly&tabID=T004&docId=A152139168&type=retrieve&contentSet=IAC-Documents&version=1.0</ref> Property prices, both for private and public properties, have steadily increased over the past decade, as shown below. Since 2000, “there have been annual price increases of 11.21 per cent for residential property, 5.84 per cent for offices premises and 6.70 per cent for commercial premises such as shops” <ref>Mosto, Jane Da. 2010. The Venice Report: Demography, Tourism, Financing and Change of use of Buildings. Cambridge (Eng): Cambridge University.</ref> Since housing is cheaper across the lagoon, many residents have been leaving the city center to live on the mainland <ref>McGregor, James H. 2006. Venice from the Ground Up. Cambridge, Mass: Belknap Press of Harvard University Press.</ref> People have become concerned about the spiral effect that is attracting more tourists and driving away more residents. In order to alleviate this problem, the city of Venice has made efforts “to bolster the population by building 500 to 600 apartments in three far-flung areas — Santa Marta, Cannaregio and Castello — for rent to middle-class families, the group at the greatest risk of vanishing” <ref>Povoledo, Elisabetta. 2006. Vanishing Venice: A City Swamped by a Sea of Tourists. http://find.galegroup.com/gic/infomark.do?&source=gale&idigest=e2ec5eb891e9fec2746ebba219ddc64c&prodId=GIC&userGroupName=mlin_c_worpoly&tabID=T004&docId=A152139168&type=retrieve&contentSet=IAC-Documents&version=1.0</ref> By doing so, the city hopes to keep residents in the city and stop the spiral.

==Trends in Accommodations==
===Tourism===
The total number of tourists visiting Venice each year is much harder to track, due to the high influx of excursionist tourists each day. Tourists arrive in Venice using different types of transportation, and the crew ships bring in a large portion of the tourists. ISTAT releases data on the number of residential tourists staying in Venice yearly and the number of tourists coming in in crew ships, however the only numbers of excursionist tourists are an estimation based on the percent difference between resident and excursionist tourists present in Venice at any given day. The IQP project conducted in 1999 estimated that the residential tourists made up a quarter of the total tourist population. Based on that estimation and on the assumption that the percent difference between residential and excursionist tourists has remained roughly the same, the total number of tourists in Venice from 1971 to 2010 was estimated and is shown below.

‎[[File:Total_number_of_tourists_1971-2010.png|thumb|center|400px|Graph Total Number of Tourists 1971-2010]]

===Accommodations===
The drastic increase in the tourist population in Venice has resulted in changes in city so it could accommodate and provide for the tourists. As shown below, there were only 191 tourist accommodations and a total of 11,208 beds in Venice in 1999.

‎[[File:Number_of_hotels_and_beds_1999.png|thumb|center|400px|Hotels and Beds in 1999]]

However, in 2008, only 9 years later, the number of tourist accommodations was 1,516 with a total of 22,935 beds throughout the city, as shown below. This increase represents and increase of over 87% in the number of accommodations and over a 50% increase in the number of beds.
