Venices tourist problem: Are day trippers welcome?
Italy\u2019s famous floating city has a problem - too many tourists are visiting Venice during the high season. The city authorities recently announced a plan to charge day-visitors a \u20ac10 tax during the busiest periods. But many are sceptical about the plan, saying it doesn\u2019t go far enough to address over-tourism.
The BBC\u2019s Vivienne Nunis joins the crowds in St Mark\u2019s Square to assess what can be done when a holiday destination becomes a victim of its own success. And she explores how other popular destinations such as Hawaii and the Isle of Skye in Scotland are addressing the problem.
