In an effort to combat overtourism and preserve its cultural heritage, Venice has increased its last-minute visitor fee from €5 to €10 for those booking on the day of their visit. This policy, introduced in 2024, remains at €5 for early bookings. The city’s tourism office reported that the fee generated €2.4 million in revenue last year and helped prevent overcrowding on peak days. Other tourist-heavy locations, including Kyoto and Formentera, are looking to Venice's model as a potential solution for their own overtourism challenges.
Venice's tourism fee was doubled to tackle overtourism, solidifying its role in preserving the city, while inspiring other destinations to implement similar measures.
