People found to be contravening the rules can be fined up to €300 .As detailed in our story, the move has been met with anger among some in the city.Venice is the first city in the world to introduce a payment system for tourists - but comments from its most senior tourist official suggested it may become a more common practice for major tourist hotspots in Europe.
