Thanks for sharing, it seems like my family's next vacation will be in Slovenia again, which is just as beautiful and less expensive/hostile.
Vacations are expensive enough without the added tourist tax.
Bit dramatic of you to call a $5.45 fee hostile. Venice is legitimately overcrowded during tourist season and has a lot of problems to deal with to even literally stay above water right now. I'm sure they won't miss you.
If a family plans a trip that involves an international flight, accommodation and preparation, a โฌ6 is not going to change a thing. This seems more like an easy, state-sponsored money grab than a legitimate effort to better manage over-tourism.
It's a start though
