From hefty fines in Italy to etiquette notices in South Korea, destinations worldwide are implementing stricter measures to curb bad behaviour and protect local culture...

- EXPRESS NEWS SERVICE

Venice, the enchanting Italian city renowned for its canals and Renaissance architecture, has recently taken a firm stance against unruly tourist behaviour by introducing fines reaching up to €50,000. This move comes in response to growing frustration among Venetians regarding disrespectful actions such as swimming in the canals, littering, and public intoxication. Authorities aim to preserve the city's fragile ecosystem and cultural heritage while ensuring a more respectful environment for both residents and visitors.

Specific regulations target actions deemed detrimental to Venice's unique character, reflecting a broader trend of destinations grappling with the challenges of overtourism. Similarly, South Korea's popular tourist island of Jeju has launched multilingual etiquette notices to proactively address rising issues associated with tourist behaviour.
