威尼斯是一座与众不同的城市。著名的运河上贡多拉小船平静地驶过,使其成为世界上最浪漫的目的地之一。凭借圣马可大教堂和里亚托桥等建筑,很少有游客能抗拒将威尼斯纳入他们的意大利度假行程中。

然而,前往威尼斯的旅行将会变得更昂贵。从2024年春季开始,想要进入威尼斯的游客将必须支付5欧元(约合 5.40 美元)的费用。

这笔费用不会向每位游客收取。只有当天进入“旧”城区的人才需要付费。预订房间过夜的游客将免于收费。任何14岁或以下的游客也将获得豁免。其他不需要缴纳的人包括当地人、在该市拥有住房的人以及在威尼斯缴纳当地财产税的任何人。

该费用也不会每天都收取,仅在假日周末和狂欢节高峰期等繁忙时段执行。

该收费举措并不是永久性的,至少目前还不是。市长路易吉·布鲁尼亚罗表示,这将是一个为期30天的“试点”。该费用是否仍会保留还有待观察。

负责旅游业的市议员西蒙·文图里尼表示,这笔费用旨在帮助管理过度旅游及其对威尼斯当地居民的影响。

他说:“注意到在威尼斯生活、工作和学习者的权利与到访这座城市游客之间找到新平衡的紧迫性,我们正在将自己打造成全球领跑者。”

文图里尼强调,收取费用的目的不是为了赚钱,而只是用来支付预订系统的运营成本。

他补充说,“居民将获得更好的生活质量,过夜游客的体验也会更真切。”

过度旅游是个世界性问题

受新冠疫情封锁后游客涌入的影响,威尼斯并不是唯一采取措施应对游客过多的地方。阿拉斯加的朱诺和缅因州的巴尔港等城市已开始限制了到访游轮数量。就连雅典也对进入著名的卫城的游客设置了人数上限。

这是否意味着更受欢迎的目的地最终也将开始向游客收费?这是有可能的。但就目前而言,购买合适的 旅游医疗保险行程保险 并在假期高峰以外出行是个好主意。
