After long-had discussions around an entry fee to ease overcrowding caused by tourists, Venice has revealed details of a digital platform that will manage the €5 “Venice Access Fee” that goes into effect April 25. A QR-based digital platform launched Thursday to support the transaction between tourists and the Italian city. The platform will provide “streamlined access,” per the Italian National Tourist Board, which said a QR code is issued upon payment to create an efficient system for exploring travelers.
