Venice now charging visitors entrance fee to combat overtourism 

Not true. Just got back from there, its beautiful and clean.

@@marshalmcdonald7476 depends on the time of year. It does flood and the water is pretty gross.

The stench comes from the tourists.

It’s beautiful in mid -May 😍& not smelly at all !!!

You can’t afford 5 euros to help preserve the city? Wow.

@@dragonwithagirltattoo598 and how will five euros save the city? Its a tax. It doesn’t save anything. If they were serious they would limit the number of tourists on any day or bar them entirely. But all they are doing is collecting money and licking their eyebrows. I call BS.

Why don't you do it yourself since you care so much?

😂😂😂😂

@@AtomicMushroomz Weak retort.. but that’s ok dear, we don’t expect much more from you.

But you are willing to comment on youtube video. LOL. Get jealous MORE. No place like this on Earth. and you will NEVER KNOW

Right? It's a tourist $hithole, similar to all tourist trap cities with a legacy historic flavor. I don't understand this obsession with visiting man made structures inundated with throngs over vacationers. Give me Kluane or Torngats any day over touristy hoi polloi gatherings.

An entrance fee is not necessary, tourist don’t just go to Venice for 5 minutes, take a selfie and leave. They all spend a lot of money in hotels, restaurants, shops, transportation, all contributing to the local economy, which also means more tax revenue for the city as well. If all they wanted was a little extra money they would just take cash or card and give you a paper receipt, they instead opted for Big Brother type surveillance with cellphone data and 700 cameras tracking every movement.

🎯

It’s the inconvenience of registering that will stop many.

And it ain’t a $1.00 no more.

@@buckjohnnie2642 your right it's like 7 $ one way in

The fee is not even the real issue, the Big Brother like surveillance is.

@@ivcuz9933 take your medication

@@AtomicMushroomzthey clearly stated that they will use the network of cameras combined with cellphone data to track people in the city and make sure everyone has paid the fee. That’s why you need a QR code instead of just paying cash.

@@ivcuz9933Seriously, if that’s costly maybe Europe isn’t for you.

@@elisaprorokovic9232the small fee is not the issue, as I stated before, the tracking and surveillance of anyone entering the city is the issue. I wouldn’t mind giving them 5€ in cash upon entry, what I don’t want is them being able to track people using their phone data and all the cameras while they are there.

Not bad

Those rice tourist will still do it.$£5.00 is nothing.should charge more

It's 5 euros = 5 US dollars anyone can afford that
