Holidaymakers jetting off to a popular European travel destination could soon face a ban on wheeling a suitcase through one of its tourist hotspots under new proposals.
The Old Town of Dubrovnik, one of the leading summer holiday locations in Croatia, has reportedly seen complaints flood in from locals over the noise that wheeled suitcases make on the cobbled streets. Residents are said to have protested after regularly being woken up in the middle of the night by the sound of tourists heading to their hotels with their cases, leading to the town's mayor to put forward plans to impose restrictions.
According to Croatian publication, Jutarnji List, tourists will be told to carry their luggage through the streets this summer rather than wheeling it on the cobbles. And from November, the hotspot is planning to develop a system where tourists will leave their luggage before entering the old town, The Express reports.
