Italian village implements anti-tourism measures with €275 fines for strolling through selfie hotspots
So where can we go on vacation? Now Italy is rolling out anti-tourist measures in the celebrity and Instagrammer paradise of Portofino with €275 fines for loitering in selfie hotspots - after Amsterdam and Lanzarote tried to freeze bans of BritsPortofino no-wait zones are active daily from morning until 6 p.m.
A small fishing village in Italy has launched new anti-tourism measures with €275 in fines for loitering in selfie hotspots in an attempt to end "anarchic chaos".
The mayor of Portofino has introduced a no-loitering rule in two "red zones" where visitors often take photos and tour groups congregate, The Times reported.
No-wait zones have been put in place in the midst of the Easter holiday tourism boom which saw around 1.7 million holidaymakers visiting Italy's city centres, a 12% increase on last year.
The ban is the latest in a series of decisions apparently aimed at blocking tourists - and in particular, the British.
