CNN —Tourists visiting the southern Spanish city of Seville may soon have to pay a fee to explore the wide, ornate Plaza de Espana square, the city hall said, as part of plans to control tourist overload in a public open space.
Although Sanz made clear that local residents would still be allowed free access, many X users, including those from Seville, were quick to criticize the plan.
“A tourism tax for ALL visitors provokes less debate and generates more income.
Another added: “What people want from you is a tourism tax and general regulation of mass tourism which is destroying our city”.
Italy’s lagoon city of Venice will introduce a trial fee from April to limit the number of day trippers.
