Tourists, take note. The so-called floating city of Venice is about to start charging a fee for day trippers:
Mayor Luigi Brugnaroof the new fee, writing that the system will be “a breath of fresh air for operators” and will make for “a more balanced management of tourism.” CNN reports that over the Easter weekend this year, 120,000 tourists arrived on Saturday, and the number swelled to 158,000 on Sunday. In a city with a local population that hovers around 50,000 residents, the volume is untenable.
The booking system will help manage the chaos in advance, according to Venturini. “We can say, ‘Dear visitor, we don’t advise coming on this date because it’s Ferragosto [August public holiday] or Easter—there’ll be a lot of people so it will hinder you from having a peaceful visit, and if you make it a week later you can enjoy your visit more.”
