"Venice Implements Tourist Limits and Loudspeaker Ban to Preserve City"
Originally Published 2 years ago — by The Independent
Venice is set to implement new regulations to combat over-tourism by banning loudspeakers and restricting tourist groups to no more than 25 people starting in June next year. These measures aim to protect the city's fragile environment and improve the quality of life for residents and workers. This follows other initiatives such as a fee for day tourists and the banning of large cruise ships from the historic center. The city has faced challenges with extreme tourism numbers, prompting concerns from Unesco about potential irreversible damage.
