4.2 aigduyad

In pre-Covid-19 times, Venice, with an estimated population of 54 000, welcomed more than 30 million tourists each year, (±60 000 to 80 000 tourists per day) half of them being day visitors. From April to October, cruise ships flooded the city spilling ±32 000 passengers onto the narrow streets daily. The overcrowding resulted in a poor environment for locals as well as visitors.
In 2017, the city authorities introduced several measures to manage tourism more sustainably. The opening of new fast-food outlets was banned and the number of shops that sell pizza slices, kebabs, and other types of fast food was limited. A ban was also placed on opening new hotels in the city centre.
As the city gears itself towards welcoming visitors again, authorities are embracing the opportunity to do things differently. As of 2021, cruise ships over 40 000 tons are banned from entering the Venice lagoon and canal leading to the historic St Mark’s Square and are rerouted to nearby harbours. In January 2022, a tourism tax for anyone entering Venice without an overnight reservation will be introduced.
