☆ Venice to Charge Day Trippers an Entry Fee to Discourage Overcrowding
  + stars: | 2024-04-04 | by ( Elisabetta Povoledo | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
On its busiest days, Venice swells with tourists who clog the city’s narrow streets, leave behind piles of garbage and often frustrate locals. So the canal-crossed city is fighting back. All visitors to Venice will also have to register their presence in the city on the specified days, filling out an online form that will help officials gauge how many visitors to expect and strategize about how to handle them. “It’s not about making money — the costs of the operation are higher than what we’re going to make,” Mayor Luigi Brugnaro told reporters on Thursday as Venetian officials kicked off a global advertising campaign. Instead, said Michele Zuin, the city official in charge of budgeting and economics, the aim is “to better manage the numbers of tourists and disincentivize mass tourism, which is what creates, let’s say, the difficulty of living in this city.”

"It is the first time in the world that you do something like this, you make a city bookable," Mayor Luigi Brugnaro said. Potential sanctions will range from 50 to 310 euros will be imposed on those failing to comply with the measure.

☆ Venice Faces Possible UNESCO Downgrade as It Struggles to Manage Mass Tourism
  + stars: | 2023-09-14 | by ( Associated Press | Sept. | At A.M. | ) www.usnews.com   time to read: +3 min
The storied and fragile lagoon city is not alone in its struggle to manage an onslaught of tourists in the low-cost flight era. But the stakes are particularly high this week as the UNESCO World Heritage Committee decides whether to add Venice to its list of endangered world sites. Critics charge that the tax was rushed through to impress the UNESCO committee that the city is acting to curb mass tourism. The recommendation to downgrade Venice cites not only management of mass tourism, but also the impact of climate change. Venice is one of six sites, including two in war-ravaged Ukraine, that the committee may officially declare to be in danger.

☆ Venice entry fee will start next year
  + stars: | 2023-09-06 | by ( Julia Buckley | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +6 min
CNN —Venice has finally revealed the details for its entrance fee, making it the first city in the world to charge daytripper visitors. But this isn’t a permanent move yet – the Venice authorities have committed to a 30-day “experiment,” according to mayor Luigi Brugnaro, who shared the news on Twitter/X. Daytrippers over the age of 14 entering the “old city” of Venice – the entirety of the lagoon city – will have to pay. Andrea Merola/Bloomberg/Getty ImagesPreviously, Venturini had announced that the entrance fee – which has been discussed since 2019 – would start in January 2023. Venice may be the first city to introduce a fee, but already one village in Italy has introduced a charge for daytrippers.
