Venice made $1 mn from the implementation of €5 Tourist Tax in April
Venice implemented a €5 ticketing system for day visitors last month.
The city has already said that nearly one million euros have been collected in the first 11 days of the tax application, SchengenNews reports.
Local media sources told Schengen visa news that from April 25 to May 5, approximately 1,95,000 tickets were sold, slightly surpassing projections and generating €975,000 in revenue. However, this amount falls short of covering the expenses associated with establishing the online reservation system, conducting information campaigns, and managing ticket controls, which amounted to three million euros.
After the trial period, the daily fee is anticipated to rise to €10, according to Schengen visa news. Additionally, individuals attempting to visit without a ticket may face fines ranging from €50 to €300. Presently, the entrance fee for day visitors is €5 (£4.27), with exemptions for residents of the Veneto region, students, and children under 14.
