Why Venice is taking this step
Protecting the city Venice is a fragile city. The old buildings and bridges are suffering from the huge influx of visitors. Fewer tourists at the same time should help to preserve the historic buildings. For the residents of Venice, the crowds of tourists can be very disruptive. Fewer large groups mean less noise and stress for the locals. Venice's narrow streets and bridges are often overcrowded. Large groups of tourists block paths and make it difficult for everyone to enjoy the city. The city administration wants to reduce this congestion and make the visit more pleasant.
