The governor of the Veneto
region, Luca Zaia, has suggested a ban be placed on tourists
found behaving badly in Venice.
He was speaking in light of several incidents that have
been complaining online concerning tourists that sleep in the
city streets and use them as toilets.
"Venice," Zaia continued, "is a museum and world heritage
(site), and we must be strict on those who commit certain acts.
I would expect the same sort of indignation as that shown
towards acts against large ships."
On the issue of overcrowding in the city, he said that the
idea of making reservations compulsory "would solve all the
problems, since by now this is done for everything from skiing
to cinemas. So it would not be problematic to plan a visit to
Venice online."
