Venice will now charge visitors for a day trip next year, in a bid to manage overcrowding.<\/p>\n

From next spring, the Italian<\/strong> canal city will charge those visiting for one day \u20ac5 (\u00a34.34) each on 29 days between April and July.<\/p>\n

The capital of Veneto, built on 120 small islands, welcomes around 25 million people a year, but scientists from the European Geosciences Union warned that the city could be underwater by 2100 as sea levels rise.<\/p>\n

Those taking a day trip between 25 April and 5 May, and every Saturday and Sunday from May to 14 July will be charged. However, the first weekend of June is excluded.<\/p>\n

The fee generally applies to all tourists aged 14 and over who are not staying in Venice<\/strong> overnight in that period.<\/p>\n

Those staying overnight will have to register for an exemption at www.cda.ve.it<\/strong> from 16 January.<\/p>\n

The fee will be in effect during peak hours from 8.30am until 4pm, which means visitors who come into Venice for dinner or a concert won’t have to pay.<\/p>\n

Anyone exempt during peak hours will have to carry a QR code proving so, other than residents of the city and people who were born in Venice.<\/p>\n

Property owners, students and commuters will have to register for a code valid for a year.<\/p>\n

Anyone visiting the city for short-term business or study will also have to register for daily codes.<\/p>\n

Mayor Luigi Brugnaro said in a council meeting about the new fee: “This isn’t a revolution, but the first step on the path to regulate day tripper access – an experiment whose aim is to better the livability of the city, of who lives here and works here.<\/p>\n

“Venice is the first city in the world to start out on this journey which could become an example for other fragile cities that must be preserved.”<\/p>\n

In August, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) recommended Venice be added to its list of World Heritage in Danger<\/strong> over growing concerns of overcrowding and unsustainability.<\/p>\n

The agency said steps proposed by the Italian state to tackle the issues are “currently insufficient and not detailed enough”.<\/p>\n

Venice avoided being blacklisted in 2021 as Italy banned cruise ships<\/strong> from entering its lagoon to defend its ecosystem. UNESCO members cited the day-tripper fee as a reason to keep it off the endangered list.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
