Should countries or cities charge exorbitant access fees to tourists?
Could you charge day-trippers something much more significant – say, £100 – for access to Venice, or £50 to visit Santorini from a cruise ship? It’s not unthinkable. Would it be fair to potentially price out the less wealthy? Should these places be open to all no matter what damage is being done or how unbearable they become? Is an invasion of thousands of cruise passengers at a time really fair on a small island? Would it turn them into a rich person’s playground instead?
