Venice plans to double its tourist entry fee. Let’s look at the reasons behind this bold move. The enchanting city, famous for its canals and history, receives more than 30 million tourists every year. To combat over-tourism, the city decided to charge day-trippers an entry fee of €5. Despite the fee, tourist numbers have not decreased, leading some to label the initiative a ‘failure’ in reducing crowds. The system generated €977,430 in its first 11 days but fell short of covering its €3 million setup cost. Now, Venice plans to double the entry fee to €10 and extend the chargeable days from 29 to up to 100 days annually. This will help better manage the tourist influx and generate more revenue. The city also aims to reposition itself as a high-end destination, encouraging quality tourism. Plans include limiting group sizes, banning loudspeakers for guides, capping hotel numbers and promoting luxury accommodations and exclusive cultural events. By shifting towards sustainable, high-end tourism, Venice hopes to preserve its cultural heritage.

Why are you clearly marketing the position as nature positive World Tourism Organisation? Nature positive travel badging Organisations aligning under this position. It’s going to be green washing with legal changes coming. There seems to be a disconnect between sustainability silos. Commercial and marketing silos. Policy and results. Outcomes. The Sustainable Business silo needs to see this integrated. TLC Harmony noted. These reports are great and congratulations for getting together to write it. As a little aside, under the European greenwashing legislation can we still say Nature Positive in our strapline or labelling unless it has been evidenced clearly by quantitative science based data? The UK crackdown on greenwashing where fines of up to 10% of global turnover is also a warning about swinging about terms like nature positive, carbon neutral or eco-friendly. #world tourism organisation “Sustainability “Sustainable Tourism
