Florence announces a Plan to combat Overtourism

Aimed at improving the situation for local residents, the plan, which will enter into effect in 2025, includes bans on key safes, golf carts and loudspeakers for tourism purposes.

A requirement to display the holiday rental ID number outside properties; checks on tourism services, working with leading online travel agencies to encourage correct behaviour and a data-driven approach to short-term rentals, ongoing discussions with public and private stakeholders and setting up a commission to plan tourism policies are among the measures.

The ten-point plan follows renewed attempts by the council to reinstate a 2023 bylaw prohibiting the short-term rental of residential real estate for tourism purposes and calls for the Italian government to enact nationwide legislation.
