Furious Locals in Tiny Cornish Town, Which Banned Second Homes, Criticize Huge Cruise Ship’s Impact on Local Population

Angry residents of a small town in Cornwall are unhappy about the arrival of a large cruise ship that increased the local population by 50% for the day. The Spirit of Adventure, a 58,000 ton cruise ship operated by Saga Cruises, docked in Fowey, Cornwall, on Friday. Although the ship’s arrival is seen as a positive for tourism in the area, some locals feel that it is out of place and shouldn’t be allowed. One resident voiced concerns about the ship’s impact on pollution and the blocked view caused by its size. This discontent comes as Fowey residents are already being priced out of their homes due to an influx of second home buyers. Additionally, the ship’s arrival in Fowey has drawn comparisons to the tourist influx in the Italian town of Portofino, where cruise ships and day-trippers have caused overcrowding and chaos. The residents of Portofino, like those in Fowey, are divided on the issue of tourism and its impact on their small community.
