Officials aim to curb the influx of tourists that is overwhelming Venice. The area is experiencing an exodus of locals amidst the steady rise in the number of foreign visitors.
In 2019, 13 million tourists visited Venice. Estimates suggest that, after the decline during the pandemic, this number will soon be exceeded.
