Italy’s Lake Como is thinking of charging a daily admission fee to try and lessen the number of foreign visitors. This decision was made after Lake Como welcomes over 1.4 million tourists each year.

The third-largest lake in Italy, Lake Como, is now in line with other areas, like Venice, that have already implemented comparable laws thanks to these latest actions. Alessandro Rapinese, the mayor of Como’s lakeside region, announced plans to implement a daily fee that is similar to Venice’s system, maybe in the near future, according to Euronews. Rapinese expressed disapproval of the overtourism problem in Lake Como, saying it is difficult to govern in the face of such demands.

The planned levy would affect tourists who come to Como on a daily basis, however the precise amount is still unknown.

In an additional measure to control mass tourism, Venice will begin charging visitors a €5 fee on April 25. The program seeks to enhance tourism management while preserving the identity of the city. Authorities in Venice have issued a warning, citing penalties for noncompliance that range from €10 to €300.

A brief pilot program that targets holidays, starting on April 25 and lasting 29 days, will be used to enforce the entry fee. Weekend enforcement is anticipated to last until mid-July. Every tourist to Venice must register their presence online on specified days using a platform made available by the Venice Access Fee website. Officials hope that this data will support their efforts in visitor management and strategic planning.
