This city of China is the world epicenter of rare earths. The problem is that nobody thought of its inhabitants

by

To get an idea to what extent It has control Of those precious minerals that form the set of rare earths, the greatest enemy that China has is not outside its borders. It is such a monopolization in the sector that the danger has in “house” through of the smugglers. And of all enclaves, one stands out greatly as an epicenter of the entire heart. His name is Baotou, and everything that shines for the surrounding inhabitants is not gold. A normal city in appearance. Baotouan industrial core of 2.7 million inhabitants on the border with the Gobi desert, seems to the naked eye a second category Chinese city like so many others: shopping centers with western chains, local restaurants overflowing and children playing late. However, a short journey to the outskirts is enough to discover His true nature: A landscape dominated by factories, smoking chimneys and an environmental legacy forged by one of the most strategic and persecuted sectors of the planet. The heart of rare earths. Yes, the enclave houses More than 80% of the Rare reserves of China. Since in the 30s they were discovered in the nearby Mining District of Bayan Obo elements such as Cerio, Lantano or Samario, its exploitation has turned the city on a chain axis on global supply on industries such as electronics, automotive and defense. We have counted before: During the 90s, China increased its production by 450%, while other countries, such as the United States, They closed their mines. This concentration made Beijin the almost exclusive supplier of these critical metals, and today, in the midst of the commercial war with Washington, its control has been transformed In diplomatic weapon. Economy vs Human Cost. The problem? The Guardian told that mineral wealth has favored the economic development of Baotou, whose GDP per capita It widely exceeds the national average. However, prosperity has Your reverse: Processing plants generate toxic (often radioactive) waste that are discharged into huge artificial rafts. The most infamous, the Weikuang dam, for years was the largest landfill of rare earth waste on the planet, without adequate coating and directly close to the Yellow River. In fact, official reports have confirmed that these activities caused a 87% decrease of ammoniacal nitrogen in a tributary between 2020 and 2024, although accumulated ravages remain visible. Yin mountains on the outskirts Cancer and poison. For example, numerous studies They have documented devastating consequences in the health of nearby communities: from bone malformations to a “Epidemic” of cancer. Exposure to these elements, capable of crossing the blood brain barrier, has been associated with motor and sensory disabilities, as well as alterations in fetal neurological development. Not just that. 2020 investigations revealed that the dust of the streets contains concentrations so high that the children of Baotou and surroundings are exposed to dangerous levels Just to breathe. Daily particle ingestion rates in mining areas far exceed the limits considered safe. A washing … halfway. Given the growing international criticism, China has tried to clean its image. In 2022, state media announced that Weikuang’s dam had been transformed into an urban wetland, now supposed paradise of migratory birds. The reality? Explained the medium British that when arriving at the place, what one is located is a concrete wall that hides a dry and desolate lodazal. Behind, ruins of ancient “villages of cancer” and oxidized industrial structures extend. New homes built for displaced are practically empty, and foreign journalists are It usually blocks actively to prevent them from talking to residents. Rural sacrifice. So things, Baotou exemplifies an uncomfortable truth: the China domain In the rare earth market it has been possible not only for its geological reserves, but for a political decision where rural communities have been allowed to support Toxic costs of a globalized economic boom. It is not an exempt problem from China, of course, the same thing happens in other sectors such as AI and its data centers (we recently counted it with the Elon Musk Supercomputer). Be that as it may, and although there are less polluting technologies to process these metals, they are rarely used: its implementation would make the low costs that have cemented the Chinese position. If you want, in a context of growing international pressure and commercial sanctions, the extractive model It reveals both the fragility of environmental balance and the rawness of contemporary geostrategic priorities.

Europe has insisted that Spain must change its laws for unfair dismissal: it is too cheap

by

It is not the first time that from Europe There is a pull of ears to the Spanish regulations that apply to those cases in which it is incurred in an inadmissible dismissal and, therefore, that companies must compensate or readmit to workers. In your opinion, the Bars that applies Spain in these cases are insufficient and workers are not protected. The European Social Rights Committee He has just answered to the complaint filed in November 2022 by CCOO. The resolution of this body is not binding or sanctioning, so it must be read more as a recommendation than as a reprimand from Europe. What has Europe said. The European Social Rights Committee, an organ dependent on the Council of Europe, considers in its resolution that “there is a violation of article 24.b of the letter”, in reference to article 24 of the European Social Charter than Spain ratified in 2021 and whose objective was to harmonize the labor legislation of the EU member countries. In this article 24, the Council of Europe recommended, “the right of dismissed workers for no valid reason (inadmissible dismissal) to adequate compensation or other appropriate reparation.” Therefore, the Council’s decision follows the path of the first resolution with which he responded to the UGT demand in 2022insisting that the dismissal compensation system is not repair. At CCOO, the Council He has spoken on the compensation of the TEMPORARY PERSONNEL OF ADMINISTRATIONS in fraud of law that, as in the case of inadmissible dismissals, They are considered insufficient. On the other hand, the demand for CCOO also puts the focus on which Spanish legislation does not offer sufficient guarantees so that employees dismissed in the improper way must be readmitted in your position. The EU establishes that this is a point that Spain must reinforce in its labor regulations. Why are compensation insufficient? The Committee considers to establish A universal scale Like the one applied in Spain, with fixed compensation of 33 days per year worked with a maximum of 24 monthly payments, it does not serve to “repair the damage suffered by the victim in all cases and be deterrent to the employer.” In its resolution it is explained that in the calculation of these compensation the specific circumstances of each case are not taken into account (a dismissal is not the same to a 60 -year -old person than someone of 20 years, members of a single -parent family, etc.). In the brief, it is considered that a fixed allocation system allows companies calculate the convenience of dismissalthus eliminating the deterrence for the employer when the dismissal is not done due to justified objective causes, and is unfair for workers with Minor contracts. In addition, the little weight of the readmission and the fact that this is an option that is only offered to companies, and not to the employee who has lost its job for no justified reason. What do they say in Spain? In a Union statementUnai Sordo, general secretary of CCOO, insisted that this writing “what is at stake is the compatibility of the dismissal model in Spain with the European Social Charter. From now on there are only two paths: not do anything and let the jurisprudence resolve case by case, or open a tripartite, mature and responsible negotiation, that adapts our dismissal regime to the European social standards.” For its part, Yolanda Díaz has shared From your profile In Bluesky your disposition “to open social dialogue table” to adapt legislation on dismissal in Spain and comply with what is recorded by Spain. “The inadmissible dismissal has to comply with the European Social Charter. Without excuses. It is in the Government Agreement and will be a reality,” said the head of the Ministry of Labor. It should be remembered that, in a parliamentary response of 2024, the current government assured that Article 56 of the Workers’ Statute “It is already consistent with article 24 of the European Social Charter, providing adequate reparation to dismissed workers without valid reason (inadmissible dismissal), so a modification of the regulation in this regard is not expected and, therefore, particular effects on vulnerable groups or on small and medium enterprises are not estimated.” How is it being managed now. At present, if an employee considers that his dismissal is inadmissible he must go to the judicial means, and it will be the court who establishes the regulations to be applied. In this context, employees cannot claim Additional compensation to the one already marked by the legislation in relation to the years worked, as CCOO denounces in its demand and supports article 24 of the European Social Charter. On very few occasions, the courts have preferred to opt for the prerogative of admitting international legislation over the state, so it is expected that, as of July 16, the Supreme Court will rule on this situation and establish a doctrine. Until now, the High Court considered that it was not possible increase this compensation by judicial means. In addition, although it is true that the courts always offer readmission alternatives or Payment of the assigned compensationthis decision remains in the hands of the company, which in the vast majority of cases chooses to pay compensation. What the Council recommends in this case is that the election falls on the employee and choose if you want to return to an employee from which it has been fired without objective reasons.

We have a big problem with AI agents: 70% of the time are wrong

by

The AI agents They fail more than a fair shotgun. That’s at least what reveals A recent study of researchers from the Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) and the University of Duke. These experts have analyzed the behavior of several of them and put them to the test to check if this is a “much noise and few nuts.” AND At the moment it is. Inspiration. Graham Neubig, professor of CMU, explained In The Register how inspiration had been A 2023 article of OpenAi. It talked about what types of work could be replaced by AI systems, but as he said “his methodology was basically asking Chatgpt if those works could be automated.” In that study they wanted to verify it by asking various AI agents to try to complete tasks that theoretically carry out professionals of those works. In Xataka Everything begins by asking a thing to an AI. When the AI ​​is asked for others, chaos begins Theagentcompany. To carry out their study, the researchers created a fictitious company they called The Agent Company and they used it so that different agricultural models tried to complete various tasks. These systems should be able to use access to several services such as Gitlab, Owncloud or Rocketchat to carry out these works, but their performance was disappointing. 70% errors. The researchers used two trial environments called Openhands Codeact and Owl-Roleplay and in them they were testing the most important AI models today. The best of all of them is Claude Sonnet 4, which managed to solve 33.1% of the proposed tasks. Behind are Claude 3.7 Sonnet (30.9%), Gemini 2.5 Pro (30.3%) and, much further, disastrous GPT-4O (8.6%), call-3.1-405b (7.4%), QWEN-2.5-72B (5.7%) or Amazon Nova Pro V1.0 (1.7%). In the best case the models can complete 30% of the requested tasks, but they fail in 70%. Or what is the same: a lot of noise and few nuts according to these benchmarks. Unable agents. During these tests the researchers observed various types of failure in these tasks processes. Thus, there were agents refusing to send a message to colleagues who were part of the task, there were also agents unable to manage popup windows during navigation sessions, and even agents who cheated or cheated. In one of the cases, they highlighted, an agent who had to consult a person in Rocketchat (an alternative Open Source a Slack) did not find it, so “he changed the name to another user to give him the user with whom he had to contact.” But they are improving. Even with those problems, the evolution is being positive in the performance of these AI agents. Neubig and his team tested a software agent that was able to solve about 24% of the tasks involved web navigation, programming and some related tasks. Six months later they tested a new version and achieved 34% of completed tasks. {“Videid”: “X8HJ0VY”, “Autoplay”: False, “Title”: “Chatgpt: What you did not know what you could do | tricks”, “Tag”: “”, “Duration”: “790”} Imperfect but useful. Not only that: these researchers pointed out that even failing so much, AI agents can remain useful. In certain contexts, such as programming, a partial code suggestion with which to solve a certain fragment of a program can end up being the basis of a solution in which the developer can then work. Care where you use them. But of course, agents make so many mistakes can be a problem in scenarios more sensitive to these problems. Thus, if we commission an agent who writes Correos and sends them to incorrect people, the result could be a disaster. There are solutions in sight, such as the growing adoption of Model Context protocol (MCP) that facilitates the interaction between services and AI models so that communication is much more precise and these errors can be mitigated during the autonomous execution of tasks. A benchmark that makes the AI ​​models look bad. For this expert one of the great disappointments is that companies that develop AI models do not seem interested in using it as a metric to improve their developments. Neubig suspected that “perhaps it is too difficult and makes them look bad.” It is something similar to what happens With the benchmark arc -ag2: It is such a difficult test for the IAS that today The best of all models of which they try to overcome it is o3, which achieves – a 3% of completed tasks. In Salesforce they coincide. That previous study is complemented With another realized by a group of Salesforce researchers. They created their own benchmark specifically aimed at verifying how various AI models would be checked when controlling typical tasks in a CRM like those developed by the firm. His project, called Crmarena-Pro, tests those AI agents in areas such as the Sales or Support Department. In Xataka If the question is whether IA is already as good as human intelligence, the answer is: solves this puzzle To replace workers, nothing. In their conclusions, these researchers reveal how the AI ​​models “achieve globally modest success rates, typically around 58% in scenarios with a single shift (execution), but with the yield significantly degrading approximately 35% in multiturn scenarios.” In fact, they explained, “agents are not generally prepared or have the essential qualifications for complex tasks.” The risk of some experts, with A great impact of AI on various jobsit seems precipitated. A complicated future. To these discreet results, the prediction of the Gartner consultant is joined. According to your studiesmore than 40% of the development agents projects will end up being canceled at the end of 2027. The main person responsible for the report, Anushree Verma, indicated that “at present, most of the agricultural projects are experiments or tests of concept in the initial phase, mainly driven by advertising already often badly applied.” The message is clear: there are too many expectations in relation to AI agents, but the current state of technology shows that today its application is problematic and limited.

Vlex, the startup that has created “the chatgpt of lawyers”

by

Oakley Capital has sold Vlexthe Spanish legal platform, to the Canadian Clio for more than 1,000 million dollars, according to Expansion. This operation makes the company founded by the FAUS brothers a quarter of a century ago in the sixth active Spanish unicorn. Why is it important. This sale represents the greatest success of Oakley Capital in Spain and confirms the unstoppable boom in the sector LegalTech. The valuation involves multiplying the VLEX value in less than three years, since Oakley bought it for 70 million At the end of 2022. In detail. Vlex operates as the “chatgpt of lawyers”: It offers access to more than 1,000 million legal documents from one hundred countries through its AI ‘assistantVincent ai‘. Its 2.8 million users include from Harvard Law School to Legal Deloitte. Every day incorporates 350,000 new documents to its platform. Oakley Capital, the British manager who in Spain controls idealistic and has invested in Seedgdemonstrated its smell to detect opportunities before boom. When it was done with VLEX control, the company barely generated five million Ebitda. Between the lines. He Timing Oakley has been impeccable: he invested just before the generative AI put the world up, including the legal sector. The pandemia had already accelerated the digitalization of the offices that were still behind, but Chatgpt changed the story. And tools like Vincent ai ceased to be a curiosity, something complementary, to become fundamental. The threat. For its rivals, this operation is a turning point. Cliovalued at 3,000 million and backed by Goldman Sachs, has suddenly been made with the largest digitalized legal library in the world. The consolidation of the sector accelerates. Deepen. The ecosystem LegalTech It continues to attract a lot of money in investments. The best example is Harvey, American competitor from Vincent AI. It was valued at 5,000 million A few weeks ago, when he got heavyweight as investors such as OpenAi or Capital Sequoia. And there is Vlex, demonstrating that Spain is able to compete in the First Technological Division. Not in fundamental models, but in more specialized products, more than niche. Like the new unicorn.

The great myths of heat that we should avoid in summer

by

The heat wave It crosses its peak during yesterday’s days and today, so staying fresh and hydrated becomes fundamental. This is not always easy: sometimes intuition deceives us, sometimes those who lead us to error are the myths we hear again and again. That is why it is convenient to review some errors in which we can fall easily. Cold water, hot water. To stay hydrated it is essential to drink liquids and, especially, water. But,at what temperature? It depends on what we want to achieve and the characteristics of the heat we are going through. We know that consuming a hot drink can make our body respond breaking. That is why in certain circumstances, drink a hot drink, like coffee can make us cool. But there is an exception: this phenomenon is based on the ability of sweat to cool, but this capacity It looks reduced in high humidity conditions. That is: a hot drink can cool us only if the heat is rather dry. Water of time? If we resort to this technique, we must also take into account the fact that sweat implies a loss of liquids and therefore a greater risk of dehydration. If our objective is not so much cooling and replenishing fluids, perhaps the best idea is to consume “time” water or sympleously fresh (not cold). It is the conclusion of A study Posted in the magazine International Journal of Clinical and Experimental Medicine In 2013. This analysis, focused on seeing how water temperature affected the rehydration process, observed that consuming water at a temperature of about 16º could facilitate the rehydration process. Fresh beer. Taking a fresh beer in summer is common to fight heat. A moderate consumption can have that effect, but as we add alcohol to our body, the chances of the cylinder head shot will increase. First because alcohol works as a vasodilator, which can alter the distribution of heat in our body. This effect It makes alcohol more dangerous in winter, when you can transmit a false feeling of warmth, but it can also affect how we feel in summer. Perhaps the greatest risk of going with beer in summer is, however, hydration. This drink has a diuretic effect that can make us lose water at a rate greater than the replacement, which can approach dehydration. Fans, yes or no. The fan is one of the most useful tools when fighting heat, but it is a tool with its limitations and even inconvenience. TO Air conditioning differencefans do not cool the air. What they do is to facilitate that our body heat is blurred by sending us colder air than the one around us. The problem is that, after a certain temperature (about 35º), the air that comes to us is not colder than the one around us, so the fan will not help us. Moisture It is also important since these devices work worse in very dry environments. They can also cause us problems when we use them for a long time, such as when we sleep with them, disseminating allergens or drying the atmosphere of our stay. Ventilate spaces: Not so simple. Keeping our very ventilated home is important throughout the year, but correctly handling ventilation in summer can also help us refresh our home, improving thermal comfort and saving energy. Now, It is not right simply With opening the windows, there are important factors to take into account. Of course, the time is one of the keys: if we want to refresh our house it is best to do it before the arrival of the daytime heat or once it has dissipated. We will also otimize the ventilation if instead of opening windows to right -handed and sinister we open windows in opposite points of the house in order to take advantage of the thermal difference to generate stronger currents that are taken with it the heat and moisture.

convert schools into tourist experience

by

If we look back for a year until today, the word that best defines the situation in many rural areas of Japan is despairand is given by a birth crisis and aging of the population that affects several layers of social fabric. That is why they are betting unpublished in bring immigrantsor there are villages where, literally, there are More dolls than neighborsor they are even offering thousands of euros for attracting youth. Drift has led to School closureand now they have found an unpublished solution to the centers. The sunset of classrooms. I told it in an extensive BBC report And we have gone counting months ago, Japan faces a silent but deep transformation: every year, about 450 rural schools close their doors, victims of the demographic aging and of the exodus Youth to the big cities. What were previously training and community life centers become empty structures that reflect the depopulation of entire regions. Miyoshi, a remote municipality of the Shikoku IslandIt is a paradigmatic example. Its population has decreased dramatically since 1955, going from almost 78,000 inhabitants to just 20,000with more than 40% of its residents exceeding 65 years. In this context, the closure of the Deai Elementary School in 2005 seemed only one more fact in the chronicle of the rural decline. An designer and an idea. And here an unprecedented name and initiative arise. It was in 2014 when the Designer Shuko Uemoto He visited Miyoshi with his little son. What began as a getaway became a revelation: pure air and the natural environment caused an immediate improvement in the health of their son, who suffered asthma. That personal impact, added to the overwhelming silence and the beauty of the landscape, inspired a vision into a vision: transform an abandoned school into a Rest spacehealth and community. As soon as he discovered the Deai building, surrounded by trees and crossed by the rumor of a river, he knew that he had found the perfect place for his project. From the classroom to the accommodation. So HARE TO KE BORNa rural accommodation that takes its name from an ancient Japanese dichotomy: Hare, the holidays and extraordinary days, and Ke, the daily life. The concept invites recover balance Between them, in contrast to a modernity that has saturated the everyday of constant stimuli. The rooms occupy old carefully restored classrooms, spaces where blackboards, desks, laboratory bottles and murals painted by former students are still preserved. The design does not erase the memory of the place, but it welcomes and enhances it, offering visitors an intimate and deeply rooted sensory experience. Miyoshi Sleep like never. The hotel has specialized in what call “Sleep Trips”experiences focused on improving sleep quality. From a brief questionnaire, guests receive personalized medicinal infusions, accompanied by aromatherapy, spring water baths, and sessions in cedar sauna overlooking the forest. Everything is designed to “reconnect the five senses” with a slower, more natural vital rhythm. In a country where light and sound pollution is omnipresent, the absolute silence and the total darkness of Miyoshi are, for many, A revelation. Sleep well, even just one night, transforms the entire trip, says Uemoto to the British environment. “Other” tourism. But HARE TO KE It is much more than a hotel. Its impact has been so deep that former students and even the former director have returned to visit the building, now revitalized. Local elders gather in the old sports field for Play Gateballwhile guests observe from the classrooms turned into common rooms. In addition, the hotel organizes kitchen workshops with local products, monthly fairs and cultural activities such as classes of Awa Odorithe traditional dance of Tokushima. All this not only strengthens the link between visitors and residents, but helps to support the traditions that, without intervention, could be extinguished. Ancestral legacy. The experience in Miyoshi goes beyond rest: it is part of a cultural and historical landscape that resists over time. Guests can participate in the Mount Tsurugi Festivalwhich includes a Ritual procession over 900 years old. Or can travel the Iya Valley and cross their iconic liana bridges, or taste dinners made with cultivated cereals In inclined terraces up to 40 degrees. Everything seems thought to integrate the visitor into a way of life that has been transmitted for generations, and that now finds a continuity through tourism (respectful). Replicated model. From the opening of Hare to Ke, at least 13 more schools In Miyoshi they have been converted into coffees, offices or new accommodations. A revitalization model, promoted by the local administration, which has returned economic activity, community self -esteem and visibility to a region condemned to oblivion. So much, the challenge is huge: Japan loses about 900,000 inhabitants a year, and it is estimated that More than 40% of his municipalities could cease to exist in the coming decades. Under that scenario, the Miyoshi case It shows that it is possible to fight against oblivion, not with great megaprojects, but with sustainable proposals and deeply rooted in memory.

We began to follow the influencers because they looked like us. Now combing 170 euros are being bought

by

It is not the first influencer That a expensive whim is allowed, but the one that has generated one of the most juicy conversations of the week. And all from an inconsequential apparently decision: Andrea Garte bought a hair brush of the Guerlain brand that cost 170 euros during a trip to Athens. And from there a discussion has been generated that affects the state of the matter itself influencer: Have these creators of content become an elite drift, completely disconnected from what your audience wants? A comb that will end all combs. In the first video that recorded the influencerGarte He got rid of praise towards the comb: The arrangement of the bristles and their length served to replace different brushes that always carried, which turned the purchase into an investment aimed at optimizing the space and reducing cosmetic achiperres. But the impact on his community soon began to climb. 11 tricks to dominate Tik tok Criticism in comments. The criticism among his followers They did not wait, where many reproached him for his little awareness of what priorities people with normal income have: “I miss the Influencers You recommend things available to mortals and not Millionaire Things “or” for this reason it is claimed that Influencers Current have lost influence capacity: they live in a parallel reality “were some of the criticisms it received. @andreage I’ve never had such an expensive 🫰 ♬ Original Sound – Andrearte Immediate reaction. Garte herself knows that she has found a controversial issue that generates conversation, so it has not taken long for the issue with more videos, protesting the controversy, presuming pelazo And joking With how expensive it is. Also, of course, has generated criticism and parodies of all kinds. However, below direct criticism and jokes for the superficial influencer. The theme of the bag. The controversy remembers which we live A few weeks agoWhen Lola Lolita argued in a documentary video about her day to day about a 4,000 euros bag. The controversy that followed, much more aggressive than the one who is suffering from garte, had a lot to do with the attitude of the influencerbut also put on the table how many of the Influencers Current (María Pombo, Georgina, Dulceida, Gala González, Marta Lozano, Alexandra Pereira) have built empires with millions of followers and millionaire contracts. We want to be like them. It is true that you are often Influencers They offer a aspirational content: We will never be able to enjoy the life train and the luxuries and excesses that these people live, so the videos in social networks become windows to some lives that are not within our reach. The problem is when Influencers As the same garte began as more or less normal girls who taught how they made up or how they dressed. There many of their followers watched them as something aspirational but attainable. With events such as Garte and the comb of 170 euros, that mirage fades. Survive at all costs. We quoted Lola Lolita A The sociologist Silvia Muelas, who explained that “The media survival of these characters depends many times on their ability to generate controversy or show excesses, which leads to an exhibition of self -destructive or disconnected behaviors of reality.” That complicated balance between wanting to be someone close or throwing themselves to the pool of luxury and excess, even showing a distant antipathy, is what marks behaviors such as Garte. On the edge. Several media already wonder if the era of Influencers is coming to an endgiven the disconnection of their followers that many experience, and whose Effects on perception of reality is beginning to be studied, because it is something that did not exist so far. A simple comb of 170 euros has unleashed a conversation about class, status and perception, and until we leave that alley, the phenomenon influencer will be living its greatest identity crisis to date.

Cannes has been tired of the megacruceros. The great drama of the industry is that more and more cities think the same

Cruises yes, but with nuances. And limits. Cannes He just added in the long run (and growing) List of port cities that have decided to put limits to the influx of large transatlantic full of tourists. The town of the French Riviera does not want to give up a millionaire business that moves thousands of visitors every year, but He has just imposed Certain conditions to the shipowners: Megabarcos are over and there will be a daily passenger stop. The measure is interesting for the weight of Cannes in the international tourist circuit, but also because with it the city of the French Riviera adds to other cities that have already opted for a similar policy (or have weighed it), as Barcelona, Amsterdam, Greece, Italy either Venice. Stoping the brake. Cannes is known above all for its film festival, but it is also an important tourist pole of The Costa Azulone of the great destinations of the country, behind only Paris. Each year they go to the French Riviera millions of tourists and a good part of them do it aboard large cruises. Statista Calculate that in 2015 they stopped in the ports of the Costa Azul, especially Nice, Villefranche and Cannes, about 546,000 passengers. I monde Precise That last year Cannes’s bay received 175 scales, in some cases of ships with capacity for more than 5,000 passengers, and added 460,000 cruise members. To understand the weight of the region on the tourist map comes with a look at The data of the Government: In 2024 the country’s ports provided for adding 1,691 scales, of which 395 concentrated in Cannes, Niza or Villefrance. Now the City Council has decided to brake. Goodbye large ships. On Friday the Cannes Consistory voted in favor of applying certain restrictions to the flow of transatlantic. It is not about closing the doors, nor cutting the arrival of cruise passengers, but of limiting them. From 2026 they will only be able to access the ports ships with less than 1,000 passengers and the total number of cruisers landed over a day will not be able to exceed in any case of the 6,000, Precise Associated Press. If a ship of more than 1,000 passengers (the industry already has large ships with capacity for more than 7,000 customers, such as the Icon of the Seas) I would like to take Cannes to his passage, he would have no choice but to transfer it to smaller ships, as long as he does not exceed the daily quota. “Less cruises, smaller”. That is the idea of ​​the City of Cannes, which emphasize What are its objectives: “Less cruise ships, smaller, less pollutants and more attractive. There will never be more than two or three giant transatlantics in the bay at the same time.” According to detail The Consistory itself, the measure seeks to reduce the number of transatlantic scales by 50% with capacity for more than 3,000 passengers, changing them for “smaller, modern, aesthetic and environmentally respectful ships.” “Cannes has become an important cruise destination, with real economic benefits. It is not about prohibiting them, but about regulating, organizing and supervising the navigation of these floating platforms, sometimes very polluting,” claims The mayor of Cannes, Davis Lisnard. “As of January 1, we will limit the scales to the cruises with less than 1,000 passengers, with a maximum limit of 6,000 passengers Diaries. A reasonable measure. “ Add and follow. The measure is interesting for the weight of Cannes on the world tourist map, but also because with its decision the French city adds to the long (and growing) list of cities that choose to restrict the flow of cruises. The argument is usually the same: the industry generates income and dynamizes the sector, but leaves a series of externalities that have earned a strong opposition in some of the most tourist ports. In Amsterdam they have come to cross out the influx of passengers of “Lobster plague” And a few days ago, during an organized protest against the mass tourism he had Replicas In other parts of Europe (Florence, Venice, Palma, Marseille, Genoa or Lisbon), complaints were also heard that compare cruises with “Basureros”. As a backdrop there are studies that warn of Environmental impact of passenger ships, which has already taken shipping companies to Find alternatives. From Mykonos to Barcelona. The result is that more and more administrations choose to restrict cruise traffic on their coasts or, at least, open the debate. It has happened with greater or less intensity in Amsterdam, Greece either Italy. The industry itself has reacted To that wave making it clear that it will be thought twice when including in its itineraries destinations in which you have appreciated episodes of Tourism Fobia. That is the idea that He left driving A year ago the director in Europe of the CLIA Association: “The possibility of adapting itineraries will be considered if for some reason we feel that not all passengers will be well treated.” Images | Xavier Photography (UNSPLASH) and JRG.Jennerich (Flickr) In Xataka | Years ago Lisbon set out to be a tourist capital.
