Here\u2019s how cities are getting ahead of the crowds in 2025.<br \/>\n    ADVERTISEMENTTourists have long been enamoured with Italy, but the feeling seems increasingly unreciprocated.With its enviable variety of ancient cities, unspoiled villages, slopes and colourful sea towns, Italy keeps visitors wanting more.\u00a0But like other Southern European countries, all of this flattering demand is coming at a cost to locals, particularly in the arena of affordable housing.Last year saw a range of new measures drafted in to protect \u2018la dolce vita\u2019 for residents. Here\u2019s what Italophiles need to be aware of in 2025.You have to meet Airbnb owners in personKey boxes are a nifty way for travellers to let themselves into Airbnb and other holiday apartments. But in Italy, they\u2019ve become a symbol of the unwelcome way in which such short-term rentals are taking over neighbourhoods.\u00a0In protest, campaigners in popular cities like Florence, Rome and Milan have been sabotaging the boxes or daubing them with a red cross.\u00a0In November, the government signed off on a measure to ban the tech, citing safety concerns.\u00a0\u201cThe automated management of check-in and entry to a property without visual identification of guests\u201d means there is a risk it \u201ccould be occupied by one or more individuals whose identities remain unknown to the relevant police authorities, posing a potential danger to the community,\u201d according to a statement from the interior ministry.\u00a0Rental owners or managers now need to meet guests to confirm identity documents in person and handle check-in procedures face-to-face.\u00a0Venice visits come at a higher costVenice is an epicentre of overtourism, with visitor numbers overwhelming the capacity of the lagoon-locked city. Putting a fair price on entry has been a heated topic for years.\u00a0People staying overnight in the historic centre have to pay a tourist tax towards its upkeep. In 2024, a day-tripper tax of \u20ac5 was brought in.This year, officials are extending the number of days on which it applies: now every Friday through Sunday and on holidays from 18 April to 27 July, for a total of 54 days.The levy will also be doubled to \u20ac10 for last-minute arrivals &#8211; counted as tourists who make reservations less than four days in advance.The payment programme aims to reduce crowds on peak days, encourage longer visits, and improve the quality of life for residents.Tourist taxes could rise in other Italian citiesVenice isn\u2019t the only place that seeks to tackle overtourism with taxes. Italian municipalities set their own rates, so they vary depending on where you go.ADVERTISEMENTIn Rome, the overnight fee ranges from \u20ac3 to \u20ac7, depending on the type of accommodation you choose. In Milan, it&#8217;s between \u20ac2 and \u20ac5, and in Florence from \u20ac1 to \u20ac5.But at the national level, plans are afoot for a new tourist tax of up to \u20ac25 per night for the most expensive hotel rooms.\u00a0The government said it was considering the move to make tourists \u201cmore responsible\u201d and help financially disadvantaged areas fund services like bin collections.\u00a0Access to popular Italian sites is limitedDespite the diversity of Italy\u2019s natural and cultural attractions, a few ancient sites always top the tourist rankings.ADVERTISEMENTRome\u2019s Colosseum and the remains of Pompeii are the country\u2019s two most-visited attractions. In recent years, both historic sites nd have had to introduce visitor caps to cope with that demand.\u00a0The former capped visitor numbers to 3,000 at any one time in 2019. Following a record high of 36,000 people a day in October, Pompeii went the same way, with a daily visitor cap of 20,000 in place as of mid-November 2024.\u00a0Another focal point in Rome &#8211; the glorious Trevi Fountain &#8211; is also at the centre of an overtourism storm.The Italian capital is considering a ticketing system to thin out crowds around the 18th-century fountain.ADVERTISEMENTRome sees on average 35 million visitors each year \u2013 and that number is set to be higher still in 2025 as the Jubilee, a year-long religious event, is set to attract millions more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Summarize this content to 2000 words in 6 paragraphs in Arabic Italian tourism is set to reach new heights in the Jubilee Year.
