Venice's Visitor Fee Has Ended, But Will It Affect Your Trip Next Year?

Welcome back to a Special Episode where we revisit the Venice tourist tax (a 5 euro tax for almost anyone entering Venice) that we first covered in a previous episode titled "Italy isn't breaking up with you, she's just setting boundaries". While the fee may have ended for 2024, this episode covers what Venice learned from the experiment, how it affected tourism, and what they're planning on doing next year. We also discuss other changes Venice has made to their tourism industry since the start of summer.
