Venice has unveiled measures it plans to implement to curb rampant overtourism. It will introduce limitations on the number of people allowed into Venice. Visitors must book a €5 tickets online to gain entry.
"The aim is to discourage hit-and-run tourism, arriving in one day and leaving in the same day, tiring and stressing the city, said Simone Venturini, deputy mayor for tourism. Pre-pandemic up to100,000 tourists visited the city daily.
Hundreds of cameras and mobile phone tracking will be used to manage the flow of visitors.
