New regulations have recently been implemented in Venice in order to address the issue of overcrowding caused by tourists. According to the BBC, these regulations include restrictions on the use of amplifiers by street performers and a limit of 25 people per tourist group. The aim of these measures is to preserve the beauty and tranquility of Venice, which is known for its historic canals. With over 250,000 residents and more than 13 million visitors in 2019, managing the influx of tourists has become one of the biggest challenges for the city. To help manage this, an entry fee of 5 euros per day has also been introduced this year.

However, despite the efforts to control overcrowding, Venice is currently facing concerns about its overall economic well-being. The number of visitors has decreased recently, which has raised questions about the financial stability of the city. Additionally, Venice has also become a focal point for protesters who are worried about its vulnerability to the impacts of global climate change and rising sea levels. The city’s unique system of canals and its ecological balance are under threat due to the effects of climate change and the decline in water levels. While there have been calls for Venice to be included in the list of protected areas, the Ministry of Culture has not yet taken this step and believes that the city’s problems should be addressed by protecting the canals and maintaining ecological balance.
