New restrictions on mass tourism are being introduced in Rome
Tourism is booming in Rome, but mass tourism creates an unsustainable situation in several parts of the city, which is why new restrictions are being introduced – Alessandro Onorato, the tourism advisor of the mayor’s office, told the press on Monday.
The plan is that no new apartments or rooms can be rented out for tourism purposes in the center of Rome in the next two years
According to Alessandro Onorato, the situation has become unsustainable for both visitors and residents of Rome, a world heritage site.
“We want to introduce a proportional tourism tax starting next year: we are thinking of five percent of the price paid for one night in a hotel or other accommodation, which would gradually decrease the further the accommodation is from the city center”
– quoted Onorato by the Roman edition of the daily Corriere della Sera. According to his calculations, there could be an area of the city where no tourist tax has to be paid at all.
He noted that sixty percent of the accommodations in the capital operating on the Internet operate in the central, number one district. A more even distribution can also allow the other parts of the city to benefit from the economic benefits of tourism, he noted.
