Venetians are expected to approve a trial of a €5 (£4.30) fee for daily visitors to combat overtourism to the city.
Venice has introduced its first entry fee for day trip visitors to the city
The fee, plans for which were revealed in full last week, will be trialled over peak periods next year and will be applicable to all tourists aged 14 and above.
"Venice is among the most visited European cities... [and so] suffers the most from excess tourism,” Venice tourism councillor Simone Venturini, who made the proposal, told the BBC on Tuesday (12 September).
“We want to test [the fee] and, if needed, improve it.”
