If you are poor, should you really be going to Venice?
A reasonably priced lottery would give middle income people access and an even playing field against wealthy people.
This system, combined with a limit on tourist infrastructure would cut down on excessive visitors and make it sustainable.
“Make poor people poorer”.
The price increases won’t impact the wealthy, even if they did have to reduce their travel by 10-20%. But it will impact those that save (or pay-off) for years for their dream trip or honeymoon trip.
My preferred approach would be more progressive than regressive: just make rich people poorer through income/capital/dividend taxes.
