After years of concern from local hoteliers and stakeholders around the pressure of daily cruise arrivals, new measures are now in place, including an 8,000-passenger daily cap (down from 17,000)  and a €20 peak-season passenger fee. For a destination long defined by its caldera views, local craft, family-run hospitality, and small-scale island life, the change marks an important step toward a calmer, more considered visitor experience.
