    If governments were keen to stop budget airlines charging so litle, they would do it right now, but they don't for financial reasons more than ever post-pandemic in order to balance covid losses. Instead governments invite and promote their nations conscient of the drawbacks resulting from that.

    Is quite a grey area taking though actions when turism means a very considerable source of income.

    enough with mass tourism, in Italy we are fed up with the mass of foreigners, who then most only create damage to the Italian artistic and cultural heritage, they come to Italy with caravans, campers, poor tourism, creating only so much confusion, traffic jams in the streets and overcrowding, only driving up prices. The complaints of many countries are right, such as Norway and Spain (islands of Majorca) where they are now exhausted from having an overcrowding of tourists, including, especially in Italy, most of them are German, Austrian, Dutch, English, French.. enough, in Italy we have the balls swollen …. an idea to counter this phenomenon of these wild and even rude holidaymakers, would be to introduce a tourist tax at the entrance of at least 1000 euros with prices dedicated only to non-resident tourists, higher prices than people residing in Italy, since this wild mass tourism only creates damage, therefore it must be removed from our territory. Puglia is right to charge 5 euros for a coffee, it's still not much, a coffee should cost 20 euros for all foreigners, so finally the wild foreigners go to Albania. The tourist tax of at least 1000 euros per person should be paid via a dedicated internet application before entering Italy, displaying the payment on their vehicle upon entry into Italy, so that the vehicles can be controlled by the police if settles with the payment of the entrance fee. those who are not up to date with the payment must be immediately sent back, no entry into Italy for them. The same goes for campers, which have become too many and annoying by now, also given their boorish behavior, often turning car parks into real illegal campsites, with deck chairs, tables, grills positioned in car parks, in addition to the dirt they leave on the street . Also for these camper owners, there should be a high annual tax, even 5,000-10,000 euros per year, classifying the campers as luxury vehicles, also increasing the cost of insurance and stamp duty, so as to significantly reduce the number of campers in circulation and return in the early days when there were very few campers in circulation and people were more polite and respectful, and there should also be a law in which loans should not be provided for the purchase of campers. It is time for world governments to intervene very harshly to counter mass, overcrowded, peasant and rude tourism and drastically reduce the number of campers in circulation so that there are very few, already one who buys a camper with loans and debts cannot be considered a tourist which brings well-being, since buying with financial means not having money, therefore it means filling the camper with food from home, what kind of well-being can such a person bring to the country where he goes on holiday???? Nobody!!!! indeed it only creates confusion and overcrowding, as well as perhaps leaving dirt!!!!

    I was fortunate enough to be one of the lucky few who could travel in the pandemic summer of 2021. It was a nice and quiet city – almost without tourists. https://youtu.be/mJnBqEPNvTs

    And who is to blame for the mess??? The tourists? Or the incompetent city council???

    If Venice does not want massive cruise liners pulling into the lagoon, then the city council can simply ban them. I think it’s very much the case of wanting their cake and eating it too..

    Please don’t take it out on tourists.

    I went on a day trip from Verona to Venice but the tourism made Venice basically impossible to enjoy. Plenty of the tourists were respectful, but many were really obnoxious, waving selfie sticks around – to the point where I got smacked in the head by one. Even in the Doge's palace where they'd banned selfie sticks, people were still using them. Very sad to see and I dread to think how difficult it must be to live there.

    Im an Ex Tourism Industry Student and also a Intl Tour Guide, and this is makes me sad. Tourism must be balanced with social cultural life. This is very sad to be watch for a tour guide like me honestly.

    I feel like this will only stop, once the city is sunk and destroyed, but by then it will be too late.

    Just put a limit on the amount of people that can enter the city each day and charge a small tax fee to help pay for the repair of venice.

    Most successful people started from nothing. They didn’t wait for the opportunity to knock but created the opportunity on their own by working hard. Thankgoodness i found Mr carlos kingston a pro forex trader, now I have been trading with him for about 7 mounths now and I earn up to $15,000 weekly. i guess this is the epic start to a new chapter in my life.
