"Venice Imposes New Restrictions on Tourist Groups and Noise Levels"
Originally Published 2 years ago — by Euronews
Venice is imposing new restrictions on tourist groups to alleviate the impact of mass tourism on the city and its residents. Starting in June, tour groups will be capped at 25 people, and the use of loudspeakers will be banned. Additionally, a €5 day-tripper fee will be charged on select peak days to manage crowds and encourage longer stays. These measures aim to preserve the city's quality of life and its status as a UNESCO heritage site, which has been threatened by the effects of tourism.
