Venice, Italy has announced that it will extend its tourist entry fee until 2025. The city initially introduced the €5-€10 per person fee in April, with the aim of discouraging tourists from visiting on the same days and giving Venice some much-needed respect. The extension comes after a successful trial period, which saw the city collect around €2.4 million in entrance fees.

Some critics argue that the fee is not enough to effectively manage tourist flows and mitigate the negative impacts of overtourism. Others believe it's a step in the right direction towards sustainable tourism practices. What do you think?
