A trip to Venice will now leave your wallet even emptier.
Earlier this year, the city announced that anyone who enters Venice and doesn’t stay overnight is set to pay a fee ranging from 3 to 10 euros, depending on factors such as advance booking and whether it’s peak season or if the city is very crowded. This rule will come into effect in January 2023.
According to The Associated Press, as mass tourism gained popularity in Venice in the mid-1960s, the number of visitors increased year by year. In 2019, the last year before the COVID-19 pandemic, there were some 19 million day-trippers who visited the city.
As more visitors come to enjoy the charm of the Italian city, lots of Venetian residents have been forced to leave their homes. According to CNN, due to congestion(拥堵) and the increasing costs of delivering food and other goods in carless Venice,around 70 percent of Venetian residents have left the city in the past 70 years.
The government hopes the new rule could help to regulate(调节) tourism in the city and “find a balance between Venetian residents and long-term and short-term visitors”, as noted by AP. The money they collect will be used to clean up waste and maintain the heritage of the city.
Local Marco Malafante, who manages vacation rentals(租赁) in the city, also expressed his support for the move.
But a Venetian gondolier, simply called Cuba, was worried and thought the government moves would “commercialize(使商业化)” the city and disturb the lives of ordinary people.
“Entering Venice will be like entering a museum. I don’t think the measure will help the problem of transforming Venice into a Disneyland, with fake(假的) glass shops and piazza sellers replacing the old artisan(工匠) shops,” Cuba told CNN.

C.Visitors who visit Venice in peak season. | D.Visitors who don’t spend a night in Venice. |
A.Heavy traffic. | B.The COVID-19 pandemic. |

A.It won’t help settle the problem. | B.It could help to regulate tourism. |
C.It will transform Venice into a Disneyland. | D.It will help maintain the heritage of the city. |
