Venice is reintroducing its entrance fee on Fridays, imposing a new rule where last-minute day-trippers will have to pay double. This year's fee remains at 5 but will increase for bookings made within three days of arrival. The initiative aims to tackle overtourism by applying the fee on 54 specific days during the busy season, more than doubling last year’s dates. Though last year's implementation didn’t significantly reduce visitor numbers, it generated 2.4 million for Venice, indicating an effort to sustainably manage the influx of tourists.
Venice's new entrance fee scheme, resuming this Friday, aims to curb overtourism with a new double charge for last-minute day-trippers.
The city expects that the access fee will aid in controlling visitor numbers, despite last year's results showing little effect on overall tourist traffic.
This year's increased fee schedule applies to 54 specific dates, aiming to manage crowding during peak times and generating much-needed revenue.
Venice's councillor for tourism believes this fee represents an innovative tool for data analysis that could help mitigate the challenges of overtourism.
