Venice to charge day trippers to enter city
威尼斯向一日游游客收 “进城费”
为了控制旅游高峰期的游客人数，威尼斯开始向一日游游客收取5欧元的 “进城费”。 在今年7月14日前，一日游游客若想在29个包括周末在内的旅游高峰日进入威尼斯历史城区， 就必须缴纳这笔费用。
Venice is a fragile jewel faced with rising sea levels from climate change and mass tourism. Of the estimated 30 million visitors a year, around two thirds are day trippers, placing sites under huge strain.
Now they'll have to pay ?5 to enter the city in a trial scheme in place on specific days over the next few months. The aim, say the authorities, is to discourage crowds descending at certain times, adding that the plan, the first such one in the world, could be extended in duration and price. Critics say the ticket is a minimal cost that will not address Venice's fundamental problems.
Other cities facing similar overtourism challenges will be watching closely to see if it works.

It’s a loss that has brought Louis, l5, and Ken, 93, together. The 21 friends met while filming a TV show.
Louis said the pair first clicked (一见如故) when Ken told him that his mother had 22 in childbirth, leaving him alone.
