The port fees to the local government go all long way that will now need to be subsidized another way
The city passed the budget for next year without having to raise taxes but they will have to next year. They cut nine police officer positions and made lots of other budget cuts.
The city would collect $10.50 for every passenger on the boat. With over 950k passengers that is quite a lot of money.

Sure, it's a lot of money. But bigger, more, is not the path that the 24/7 citizens of Key West want to pursue. If they've got to shrink services, so be it. They knew the economic impact when they voted for the changes.
All economic growth is not progress. Over-tourism destroys the charming fabric of a place that attracts people in the first place. Places like Santorini and Venice have become ridiculous caricatures of their former selves....
