This week's Inside Italy review explores the potential implementation of Venice-style ticketing systems to address overtourism in popular Italian destinations. Sirmione, overwhelmed by visitors this past weekend, drew attention as its officials considered an entry fee to mitigate crowding. With 75,000 visitors overwhelming the town of just 8,000 residents, the proposed system aims to preserve the quality of life for locals while still accommodating tourists. Other cities, like Naples, are also exploring similar fee implementations to tackle their own Overcrowding issues, highlighting a nationwide concern over tourist management.
Sirmione's increased tourism has raised the idea of a Venice-style ticketing system, which proposes a fee to manage tourist flows and alleviate overcrowding.
