Tourist-flooded Venice has approved guidelines for testing a new fee for day-trippers on peak visitor weekends next year
Tourist-flooded Venice approved guidelines on Tuesday for testing a new fee for day-trippers on peak visitor weekends next year.
The fee, initially 5 euros per day-tripper, is “not a tool for making cash," the city said in a statement. Instead, the strategy aims to improve the quality of life for Venice’s dwindling number of full-time residents as well as overnight visitors, who already pay a lodging tax and so will be exempt from the fee.
"The aim is to disincentivize daily tourism in certain periods, in line with the fragility and uniqueness of the city,'' the statement said. The fee strategy was discussed a few years ago but was put on hold during the pandemic. Travel restrictions during much of the outbreak saw tourism in Venice nearly vanish — and let Venetians have their city practically to themselves for the first time in decades.
