Description
The ticket booth and inspectors are primed: Venice is set to launch a new scheme on April 25 to charge day-trippers to enter the historic Italian city, a world first intended to ease the pressure of mass tourism. Visitors entering the UNESCO world heritage site for the day will have to buy a five-euro ($5.3) ticket, monitored by inspectors carrying out spot checks at key entry points. Initially, tickets will only be required on 29 busy days throughout 2024, mostly weekends from May to July. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
