Italy is mulling a 25-a-night tax for tourists staying at its most expensive hotels to turn overtourism into economic gain
Briefly

"The Italian government is mulling a hotel tax of up to €25 a night to deter some visitors while filling cities' coffers."
"If we scare travelers who come to us by giving the impression that we want to take what we can, we are not doing a good service to the country," commented Barbara Casillo.
"Cities like Venice have implemented entry fees and other measures to curb big groups of visitors amid public anger over overtourism."
"The move could, in theory, bring in generous revenues for municipalities, which would aid infrastructure improvements like trash collection."
