"Venice Sets New Restrictions on Tourist Groups to Safeguard Historic City"

Venice is imposing new restrictions on tourism to combat overcrowding and disturbances, including limiting tour groups to 25 people and banning loudspeakers starting in June. A day-tripper fee will also be tested on peak days to encourage longer stays and protect the quality of life for residents. These measures follow UNESCO's concerns about the impact of tourism on the city. Additionally, recent incidents involving tourists misusing electric hydrofoils and jumping into canals have prompted local authorities to call for stricter enforcement and penalties to safeguard the city's heritage and public safety.

"Venice Implements Ban on Large Tourist Groups and Use of Loudspeakers"

Venice has introduced new regulations to combat the negative effects of mass tourism by banning tourist groups larger than 25 people and prohibiting the use of loudspeakers in the city center and surrounding islands starting June 1. These measures aim to protect the quality of life for residents and preserve the city's heritage, as concerns grow over the impact of over-tourism, which has led to a significant decline in the local population and threats to the city's status as a UNESCO World Heritage site. An admission fee for short-term visitors will also be implemented from April 2024.
