President Emmanuel Macron of France announced a plan to move the Mona Lisa and create a new entrance at the Louvre to manage visitor overcrowding.

Despite the introduction of a tourist access fee in 2024, which was intended to control visitor numbers, Venice saw a significant increase in daily tourists, averaging 7,000 more visitors on days the fee was active compared to the previous year. This indicates that the fee did not deter tourism as intended, and the city plans to expand the tax for 2025 to further manage the growing number of tourists in a bid to protect its historic sites.
