This is an unusual measure in one of the most popular tourist cities of the Old Continent. As Le Parisien reports, the city of Dubrovnik, Croatia, will now ban wheeled suitcases on its territory. This radical decision aims to combat the noise pollution complained of by many inhabitants of the historic center of the city.
Instead of rolling them, tourists will be forced to carry their suitcases by hand this summer. To help its visitors, Dubrovnik will introduce mandatory luggage storage from November. It will then be forbidden to move around the city center with your suitcases.
“They will put their suitcases in the lockers and we will bring them, for a fee, to the address where they are staying. This is just the beginning, the goal is to create a logistics center within the airport, after which all luggage will be delivered directly to places of residence,” the mayor of Dubrovnik told the Croatian daily Jutarnji. List.
The Croatian city is not at its first measure to fight against the inconvenience of tourists. As part of the “Respect the city” program, Dubrovnik has already put in place several prohibitions, such as walking animals without a leash, leaving waste in the middle of the street, riding a motorcycle or scooter, climbing monuments or even walk around downtown shirtless.
To make these rules better known to foreigners, a cartoon has been created on the initiative of the City and the Tourist Office of Dubrovnik. In particular, this video is actively broadcast on board Croatia Airlines flights and on cruise ships.
