Venice is implementing measures to manage the impact of tourism on its historical identity and local livability. By late 2026, the city has introduced stricter regulations, including new tourist fees, to combat overcrowding at major landmarks like St. Mark’s Square.

Efforts have expanded to include national-level discussions on sustainable cultural tourism. Venetian officials are advocating for strategies to distribute visitor flows more evenly across different areas and seasons. The objective is to transition toward ‘more informed, slow, responsible, and sustainable’ tourism to alleviate pressure on saturated central sites and improve the quality of life for residents.
