All visitors over the age of 14 will have to pay the charge and book their entry to the city in advance. City council member for tourism Simone Venturini says the trial will run during peak tourist periods next year. &#8220;Venice is among the most visited European cities&#8230; [and so] suffers the most from excess tourism,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>Over-tourism is widely recognised as an urgent issue for Venice. The city is just 7.6 sq km (2.7 sq miles) in size, but it hosted almost 13 million tourists in 2019, according to the Italian national statistics institute. Numbers of visitors are expected to exceed pre-pandemic levels in the coming years.&#8221;The objective is to invite daily tourists to choose [off-peak] days,&#8221; Mr Venturini said. &#8220;We want to test [the fee] and, if needed, improve it. We cannot discuss for [an]other 40 years what&#8217;s best to do.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this year Unesco said the city should be added to a list of world heritage sites in danger, as the impact of climate change and mass tourism threaten to cause irreversible changes to it. In 2021, large cruise ships were banned from entering the historic centre of Venice via the Giudecca canal after a ship crashed into a harbour. Critics had also argued that the ships were causing pollution and eroding the foundations of the city, which suffers from regular flooding. It is not clear, however, if the plan to introduce a daily charge will deter tourists.<\/p>\n<p>The historic city hosted some 13 million tourists in 2019, before the Covid pandemic<br \/>\nMore and more residents in Venice are choosing to leave, as tourists threaten to overwhelm the historic island city.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/world-europe-66778379\">BBC<\/a> <\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/vaufien\/venice-to-vote-on-e5-daily-fee-for-tourists\/\">Venice to vote on \u20ac5 daily fee for tourists<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[11340,2442,4736,606,607,608,8761,1067],"class_list":["post-116800","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-daily","tag-fee","tag-tourist","tag-vau_viikkokatsaus","tag-vauen","tag-vaufien","tag-venice","tag-vote"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116800","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=116800"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116800\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=116800"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=116800"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=116800"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
