- Authorities in Venice have been accused of transforming the famous lagoon city into a 'theme park' as a long-mooted entrance fee for day trippers comes into force.
Venice is the first major city in the world to enact such a scheme. The €5 (£4.30) charge, which comes into force today, is aimed at protecting the Unesco world heritage site from the effects of excessive tourism by deterring day trippers and, according to the mayor, Luigi Brugnaro, making the city 'liveable' again. But several residents’ committees and associations held protests on Thursday, arguing that the fee would do nothing to resolve the issue.

The Merchants of Venice
Ok, that's Venice off my bucket list then.
No one cares buddy
Have you informed the press? Has the British embassy in Italy briefed the Italian prime minister on this disturbing development?
Taxation , by another Name . If they wanted to protect Venice , then they would cut the munbers able to visit .
Do these tourists not bring a lot of revenue into Venice?
There must be a sense of proportion in everything. They are just tired of tourists.
And I'm tired of Palestine@@Timur_Alma-ata
@@user-mf5ue6rc5n when violence in Palestine will end, then there would be no Palestine in agenda. But it still has't ended.
Maybe a few businesses gain from it, not necessarily all local businesses.
Doesn't sound very inviting. Spend your money somewhere else.
“ the influx arriving from the East.” The US? It’s “the East”? What is she talking about? If it’s tourists, then they’re getting taxed, no?
East of Venice, quite clear
One of their palaces is filling with water & with sea levels rising at alarming rates its a sinking ship made of concrete
It's always a war against the poor.
Safe locals
