@HobbitFoot @BrikoX They are transitioning away from that kind of tourists that they don't want - for obvious reasons. These cruise ship tourists are normally having few hours for the town. So they won't have time to really discover the city, visiting the museums, taking their time in some small restaurant, ... Instead they are carried through the city mostly by bus (I assume) and are pressed through some hand picked attractions.

Also, the people that stay for a few hours or a single night tend to be more reckless and less mindful of local laws and etiquette.
