Amsterdam and Venice follow, and these cities have long spoken of the problems of overtourism.
In the top ten cities “affected” by the influx of tourists were Milan, Budapest, Bucharest, Reykjavik, Athens and Nantes. Russian capital Moscow It's in the eighth position.
In early 2018, the media referred to the statement of the mayor of Venice.Italy) Luigi Bruñaro, and talked about the fact that the city authorities proposed to introduce a “resort fee” for travelers who come to Venice without an overnight stay.
According to Luigi Bruñaro, only on Easter Sunday, the city received about 125 thousand people, and because of this, it was difficult for tourists to disperse on narrow streets, and there were queues to the sights of Venice.
The mayor of Venice said: We didn’t have time to clean up the garbage. There was no push on the bridges. We believe that we have the right to close the city on such crowded days. Those who live, work or stay in a city hotel can come in, the rest should stay away. Venice is a special city, but many have not yet realized it, even in Rome.
