A January 7 report from Euronews stated that the plan for 2022 is to only allow travelers to visit the city after they have booked a 5-euro (US$5.70) ticket online. The Italian newspaper Venezia Today this month reported that the tassa di sbarco (disembarkation tax) will range from €3 to €8 (US$3.50–$9) for day-trippers, but that tourists staying in the city’s hotels—where a city tax is already added onto the bill—will be exempt. The paper also reported that the city’s administration is discussing an app for bookings and turnstiles to enforce them. The Points Guy noted that there will be 500 CCTV cameras installed throughout the city, and police will use mobile phone data to monitor visitors.
