Italy Considers €25 Tourist Tax to Combat Overtourism

The proposed tax aims to manage visitor numbers and fund city services, but faces criticism from the hospitality sector.

Italy's proposed tourist tax could increase to €25 per night for high-end hotel rooms.
The measure seeks to address overtourism and its impact on local communities and services.
Residents in several European cities have protested against the negative effects of mass tourism.
Tourism industry leaders warn the tax might deter visitors and harm the economy.
Previous tourist taxes in other European cities have shown mixed results in managing visitor numbers.
