Tourists in Italy will be fined for bikinis

Punish tourists with a fine for appearing in bikinis in public places decided the authorities of the Italian beach resort of Vietri-sul-Mare, located near Naples on the Amalfi coast.

It is noteworthy that the authorities decided to resort to fines only 3 years after the introduction of a ban on the appearance of tourists in public places in bikinis and topless. In other words, the ban on bikinis was not backed up by actual punishment.

Violators of the ban now face a fine of 25 to 500 euros. The mayor of the resort, Franco Benincaza, explained that such fines were dictated by the concern to protect the “decent image” of his city. Wearing bathing suits will only be possible on the beaches.

Bikini is banned in a number of resorts around the world. So, too revealing swimsuit can not appear on some beaches of the UAE.
