In a groundbreaking move to manage the influx of tourists, Venice, the iconic Italian city known for its picturesque canals, is set to implement a daily admission fee and a cap on visitor numbers starting April 2024. This initiative is being hailed by Mayor Luigi Brugnaro as the first of its kind in the world.
Venice's new tourism management scheme will be tested initially during Spring Bank Holidays and some weekends in the summer when tourist traffic typically spikes. “It is the first time in the world that you do something like this, you make a city bookable,” stated Mayor Brugnaro.
Travelers planning to visit Venice during these peak times will be required to book their visit online and pay a fee of 5 euros ($5.45) to receive a QR code. This code will be checked at designated entry points, granting them access to the city’s historic quarters between 0830 to 1600 local time. The restrictions, covering 29 days, will mostly be in effect from April 25 to mid-July of the following year.
The restrictions will not extend to the smaller islands in the lagoon, such as Murano, known for its glass-making. Violators of the new rule will face fines ranging from 50 to 310 euros. However, exemptions are in place for residents, natives, students, workers, and homeowners in Venice. Children under the age of 14 can access the city free of charge but must be registered.
Venice's initiative comes as a response to the challenges of mass tourism and frequent floods, which have long been a concern for the fragile lagoon city, renowned for its canals and cultural heritage. This measure aims to balance the preservation of the city’s unique character with the economic benefits of tourism.
With this bold step, Venice is leading the way in sustainable tourism management, setting a precedent for other popular destinations facing similar challenges.

Evoke Experiences proudly introduces "White Rann, The Tent City" in Dholavira, offering travellers a unique chance to explore the breathtaking landscapes and cultural richness of Kutch. Nestled in the heart of this historic region, Dholavira offers not only stunning views of the famous White Rann but also access to some of India’s most captivating ancient sites. Known for its moonlit glow and ever-changing hues during sunrise and sunset, the White Desert creates an unforgettable natural spectacle. It also hosts the popular Rann Utsav, a festival celebrating the vibrant local culture, food, and arts of Kutch.
"White Rann, The Tent City" offers a luxurious stay, blending adventure with comfort. Travelers journey along the newly opened "Road to Heaven," a 30-kilometre scenic route connecting Khavda to Dholavira, which passes through the seemingly endless salt flats of the Great Rann. Visitors are often greeted by flocks of pink flamingos, offering a vivid contrast against the stark white landscape, especially during certain seasons when the Rann becomes a sanctuary for these birds.
Upon arrival, travellers can explore Dholavira, home to a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The ancient Indus Valley civilization is brought to life through visits to the Archaeology Museum and Excavation Site, where remnants of prehistoric times offer a glimpse into the past. Nearby, the Wood Fossil Park offers another fascinating stop with its fossilized trees that date back millions of years.
Bhavik Sheth, COO of Evoke Experiences, expressed excitement about the new property, stating, "We’re thrilled to introduce another exceptional property in India, a destination we believe is still underexplored.

Visitors can also venture to Kala Dungar, Kutch’s highest point, to take in panoramic views of the desert landscape stretching endlessly into the horizon.
Evenings at "White Rann, The Tent City" are filled with cultural performances, showcasing traditional Kutch music and dance. Luxurious tented accommodations offer comfort and relaxation, with amenities such as morning yoga sessions and meals that feature both local and international cuisine, ensuring every guest enjoys a truly indulgent experience.
