Overview

• Venice will limit the size of tourist groups to 25 people and ban the use of loudspeakers in an effort to ease the pressure of mass tourism.
• The new regulations will come into effect in June 2024, in the historic center as well as the islands of Murano, Burano and Torcello.
• The move follows a slew of measures to regulate visitors to Venice, which sees around 20 million people wander its streets and canals every year.
• Recently plans were unveiled to implement a €5 ($5.45) per person fee for day trip visitors on 29 peak days between April and mid-July, including most weekends.
• The policy intends to regulate crowds, encourage longer visits and improve the quality of life for Venice residents.
