Activists gather outside Venice's Santa Lucia train station, Saturday, July 13, 2024, to protest a day-tripper fee that they say has failed to dissuade visitors from arriving on peak days, as envisioned. Venice city officials said Friday, July 19, 2024, that the day tripper tax netted 2.4 million euros (2.6 million) during a test phase this summer, and that decisions on how to proceed would be made in the fall after a full analysis of the data.
