Venice has implemented a daily fee of €5 for day-trippers in an effort to address overtourism, making it the first city in the world to introduce such a charge. The move, aimed at reducing the overwhelming influx of tourists which locals fear is turning the city into a 'Disney-fied' version of itself, has sparked protests among some residents. Despite the backlash, a survey indicates that 52% of Britons support the tourist tax, while 27% oppose it.
