Rome's mayor, Roberto Gualtieri, emphasizes preserving the historic center through short-term rental restrictions rather than visitor taxes. He argues that introducing an entry fee, like in Venice, would not be appropriate for Rome, which aims to maintain its accessibility. Gualtieri highlights the importance of ensuring tourists experience authentic local life, avoiding a hollow tourist environment. He notes that while Venice has implemented visitor control measures, Rome's larger size and tourist dynamics require different strategies. Gualtieri aims for a high-quality tourism experience focused on cultural events, with a record number of tourists expected in 2025.
