Pompeii Cuts Daily Tourist Numbers to 20,000 to Protect Ancient City

ai generated text

Pompeii is capping the daily visitor number at 20,000 per day. The restriction is set to begin next week. The cap is a result of a record summer season, during which four million people visited the site. Daily crowds reached as high as 36,000.

    1. The measures to manage flows and safety and the personalisation of the visits are part of this strategy.
    2. We are aiming for slow, sustainable, pleasant and non-mass tourism and, above all, widespread throughout the territory around the Unesco site, which is full of cultural jewels to discover.
    3. We are working on a series of projects to lift the human pressure on the site, which could pose risks both for visitors and the heritage [that is] so unique and fragile.
