To limit flow, the city may charge tourists entry of up to 10 euros. Population approves
With the approval of Italy's Budget Law, Venice will be able to require visitors to pay a fee of between 2,5 and 5 euros (R$6,70 and R$22), which could reach 10 euros (R$44,70) during the high season, to enter the city. The measure is provided for in article 11, paragraph 1129, of the 2019 Budget proposal and provides for the possibility of the municipality adopting in its policies the application of a landing fee, as an alternative to the residence tax.

The hotel tax yielded 30 million euros per year (around R$135,1 million) to the city's coffers. It is estimated that the new rate will yield around 50 million (around R$223,5 million).
In 2017, 10 and a half million people spent at least one night in a hotel in Venice, but the flow of tourists in the city for one day reaches 27 million per year.
