Venice becomes 1st city to charge tourists 5 euros for peak period visits

- Venice will soon start charging day-trippers to visit the popular tourist location during peak periods, as it tries to find ways to deal with over tourism, which strains the city’s infrastructure from visitors clogging up the city’s narrow streets and canals.
The city will begin collecting the fee, initially 5 euros ($7.30 Canadian) per day-tripper, as a 30-day pilot test during weekends in the spring and summer and during Italian national holidays.
In a statement, it said it hopes to “disincentivize” daily tourism during certain periods and improve quality of life for Venice’s dwindling number of full-time residents.
Rachel Dodds, tourism expert from Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU), says such fees are something that could be adopted in other cities across Europe struggling with similar concerns.

Meanwhile, Justin Klepteau is taxing us into oblivion.
Hold pharma accountable.
Please report the news: How many car jackings, shoot outs, gun killings and stabbing deaths in Toronto today?
Don't be silly. That isn't happening anymore. Criminals can't afford the Tourist Fees....
What makes you think any of the rest of us are interested in T-Zero?
The channel is called "global" news🙄
@@quackywhackityphillyb.3005 damn fine point! We do have a lot of problems at home, but the idea of charging a small amount on tourists to make up for the impact they have on local infrastructure is pretty solid.
Not all the news is about you and your town. There’s a big world out there. You’d be surprised.
Some cities need limited access, no question about that. How would TO want to deal with 20 million Tourists a year?
Toronto would love that. Everything is already so expensive here. 20 million more people willingly coming over and waste their money in this dumpy place is a wet dream of GTA businesses and property owners.
Tourists only
@@BornKafir These replies keep disappearing
@@ethimself5064 get used to it, it's normal
So you want to police where people can go in cities!? And make people proove they can be there at random. That is very authoritarian, no, tryannical of you, almost totalitarian.
Just don’t go to the cities demanding entry tax, and let there hôtels vacant. And no shopping.
Good. Too many tourists are rude and disrespectful.
It hurts residents more than tourists. They now have to constantly be ready to prove that they are not a tourist. And God forbid they don't have a smart phone, or they don't have it on them, or the battery is dead or dying or they are not tech savvy.
And what of people from near Venice who just want to come visit their family? What of people who live near Venice and need to come into Venice just to do some important errands? What of people or companies making deliveries into Venice or picking things up from Venice for delivery there or elsewhere? So now they have to charge the person they are making a delivery to a tourism tax, of who that person isn't even a tourist. And what of people who have to commute in and out of the city for work?
These are all things that are so obviously wrong with this, that the fact that ANYONE at all would support this to means they are extremely stupid or extremely evil. Which one are you?
@@legitjimmyjaylight8409 Did you do any research into the specifics of your questions? I know we're dealing with the incompitent government that is Trudeau here, but maybe they actually thought of these very valid points you brought up.
Of course there can never be actual civil discussion bringing up valid points and having them be acknowledged. You're just automatically evil or stupid, so thanks for your input. It's noted.
@@shakyjake2133 third option, naieve. Asking people to show qr codes for just existing in public space and fine them if they cannot proove their status to you is the modern day equivalent of East German Stasi "show your papers". There isn't away around that.
How about charging people who illegally enter the country to leech off the taxpayers?
🇨🇦Canada should also charge 10 bucks due to exchange on euro dollar and Canada also has larger area. Since its my idea I would like 1% that will cover all the fun I would like in Canada from Coast to Coast spendings only in Canada i'll promise :)
We pay to see (nothing of cultural value) so complaining about $7.00 to see Venice that is itself Art & History everywhere you look....is ridiculous
I'm sure that will go over like a Turd in the Punch Bowl.....
Why not charge 100 EUROS?
Canada 🇨🇦 should start charging asylum-seekers and illegal immigrants $10 fee to come in Or pay a $300 fine a day entering and $500 night fee entering… vote for me as your next prime minister of Canada for Canadians 🇨🇦
I mean, it isn't such a terrible idea. Can use that money to directly fund public services/infrastructure in Canada as well if we adopted such a system, lowering the burden on taxpayers.
Yes it should - I am sure they could use the money for repairs, ambulance services and just policing the flow of loads of people.
So just use a sales tax, people entering the city buy things, right? Instead of "show your papers" "your papers are not in order" unless you like East German Stasi
@@legitjimmyjaylight8409 True that, however, we all know the reality of doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result.
@@Jenesaisquoi44 governments are often bad at managing money. That's the root of the problem.
@@legitjimmyjaylight8409 yes and let’s face it - this city needs a facelift from the bottom up - the polluted water and the dampness need some long term solutions and there’s no Home Depot to help many otherwise very simple projects.
Ah, damnit, I was just planning to go to Venice with all my carbon tax rebate that I collected during these trying times. Now my plans are under water, same as Venice. \s
Great news! Hoping for it to happen in Sea to Sky and on the Sunshine Coast soon!
Hotels already do this a lot in many places. Tourist tax
Unity over greed and peace over war
absolutely
Ban them altogether. Reclaim your homes.
Looks like a beautiful place, probably never get there, too much cash for me...
Tax should be much higher. I have been there and much needs to be done to repair the city.
There is no tax if you arrive on a boat.
You can even skip the passport and all those formalities.
Right? Why should I have to carry around ID? Open borders baby!
I am your sister from Yemen, and by God, I did not speak except out of hunger and poverty. My mother, my sisters, and I have been displaced from our homes because of the war. We are in a state that only God knows about To Him is He, and He is the best disposer of affairs, among those who have brought us to this state. By God Almighty, I did not write this appeal out of distress and poverty, O All-Knowing One. In us, I hope for you. By God Almighty, Lord of the Magnificent Throne, he eats what I have in the house, and by God, my brothers, they will sit down today There is no food, and by God, we are in a very difficult situation. 6 of us fled into the house, and my father died, and there is no one to depend on us, and we live in a rented house “We cannot pay the rent we owe.” ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' 'My brother, my first words are that I swear by God on the Book of God that I will not lie to you, nor deceive, nor deceive. I am a Yemeni girl displaced from the war. My family and I, in Ayat Al-Shahrab, have 15,000 Yemenis among us, and now we owe 45,000 for 3 months, and the owner of the house is one of the people who will not have mercy. By God, my brother, everything will come. One day he insulted us and talked about us and wanted to leave the house and take him to the street because we could not pay him the rent. The neighbors saw us crying and came back to talk to the neighbors and gave us the end of the week. We paid him an oath, may God have mercy on him, he will take us out to the street and we will have mercy on him. Our country is because of this war, and we cannot find food for our day, and my sisters and I are living on a embassy. Our father is dead, may God have mercy on him, and we have no one in this world who has been with us in these harsh circumstances. My little sisters went out to the street and saw the neighbors eating, and they stopped at their door to give them bread, even if they broke it, and by God who has the kingdom of the heavens and the earth, they closed the door and expelled them. And they came back crying. They were dying of hunger. No one had mercy on them. I gave them a holiday. I would have made a living. Now blame one of us. Help us with a kilo of flour. I swear to God. I am dying of hunger. My brother, I am an alien to God and then to you. I want your help for the sake of God. I implore you, by God, love goodness and help me. WhatsApp me on this number 00967717354582 and ask for a name. And send my card, and do not be late, and may God reward you with all the best. Help us and save us before they throw us out in the street. We become weak or die of hunger. My family and I ask you by God, if you are able to help us, do not be late for us, and may God reward you well..,.,:^:;^:🎉°~°~^~ °^π√^π√~π~√~√~π^~^~π~π~√√~~ππ~π√~~^°^°€€lb🎉🎉❤❤🎉.....😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Must be adopted then, I don't have any siblings involved with Houthi terror groups.
Dystopian,
Japan doing the same thing.
Extortion
Gouge us more why don’t they?
They should charge more for tourists from countries that are using lots of fossil fuels, like China 🇨🇳.
It's not unexpected. It's 2024. The year of the rip off.
Go when it's not busy. Venice isn't the only tourist location in the planet.
No worries from the US. We have no money to travel until Trump is back.
