Venice postpones ‘tourist tax’ on travellers till 2023

As per the latest developments, Venice has postponed its plans to charge visitors a ‘tourist tax’ to manage overtourism. As reported earlier, Venetian authorities announced that tourists heading to Venice would be charged between $3.14 and $10.56 per day. This tourism hotspot initially approved the tourist tax in a way to help curb the ‘overwhelming number of day trippers’ heading to the city, along with making up for the financial losses that the city endured during the Coronavirus pandemic.
So now, although the tax idea did manage to receive positive reactions from locals, Venice authorities have voted to delay the introduction of the fee until January 16, 2023. If reports are to go by, when the new rule comes into effect, travellers visiting the city for a day will have to pre-book their visit, as well as pay an entrance fee using a dedicated booking app. Prices will likely vary from around $3 during offseason to $11 on the busiest days.
