LG has launched what, without a doubt, is one of its great bets of the year. In collaboration with American singer and rapper LG Xboom Budssome completely wireless headphones that move in the fork of 100 euros and seek to conquer those who want a decent sound, but without paying more than the account. After having tried them, this has been our experience. Are expensive headphones always better than economic? Technical file of the Xboom Buds LG LG Xboom Buds dimensions and weight Headphones: 25.3 x 20.8 x 23.9 mm – 5.3 grams Case: 63.0 x 32.8 x 31.2 mm – 36 grams diaphragm unit 10 millimeters Graphene coated diaphragm Noise cancellation Cancellation of active noise Up to 35 dB battery Headset: 70 mAh Case: 475 mAh Codecs AAC, SBC connection Bluetooth 5.4 compatibility iOS, Android, PC Extras IPX4 resistance Google Assistant Siri Multipunto connection Equalizer Tactile controls USB-C load 6x Microphones price 98.86 euros LG, Xboom Buds, wireless headphones, noise cancellation, Bluetooth wireless helmets, wireless headphones, bluetooth headphones, black * Some price may have changed from the last review LG Xboom Buds, our experience LG Xboom Buds | Image: Xataka Light and comfortable. The new Xboom Buds of LG are built in plastic and available in black or white. They are button headphones that fit well in our auditory channel and that have a kind of Silicone Superior Bridge that improves support. I am not very friendly with these implementations (I refer to the tests), but LG has embroidered. Their Xboom Buds are comfortable, do not move the least when walking or running and, in addition, they are more disguised than other headphones of their category. It should be noted that each headset has a tactile surface that allows us to control reproduction or calls by touches and that the pads are interchangeable. In that sense, it never hurts to prove all pads included not only to find the best adjustment, but because the performance of active noise cancellation will depend on our auditory channel being well sealed. LG Xboom Buds | Image: Xataka The case. LG has not thrown the house out the window with the case. It is small, it is made of plastic (which is touched and damaged too easily) and has the fair and necessary: ​​USB-C port for load, the holes to fit the headphones and a LED that will indicate the load status and// or connection. It is light, small and the lid is magnetized. Simple and at the foot. What is important to point out is that it has no wireless load or a button to reset or force reconnection. Experience of use. The Xboom Buds are compatible with iOS, Android, PC and, really, any device that uses Bluetooth. The application is very simple and offers basic adjustments, such as a customizable equalizer, different sound modes, noise cancellation control, experimental adjustments, a function to find headphones and aircraft, technology with which these headphones are compatible. Image | Xataka However, the most interesting and, for me, something that is worth assessing when we buy some headphones, is that they admit multipoint connection. We can connect the Xboom Buds to as many devices as we want and jump with each other interchangeably. That, for productivity, is vital and we do not always find it in the range of 100 euros. Nor have we had latency problems or micro cuts, even in more busy areas. But one of lime and one of sand. If the multipoint and latency we have liked a lot, that it is not possible to invoke Google Assistant with the voice has had the opposite effect. Although it is a function that should be there, the truth is that we have not been able to use it during the time we have been testing the headphones. The application to control the headphones from the mobile can be downloaded from Google Play and App Store. LG Xboom Buds | Image: Xataka How they are heard. LG has implemented in its new headphones some ten mm driver whose diaphragm is “graphene coated.” In practice, we can say that headphones are listened well for their price range. They are not the best headphones, or from afar, but they do offer a very good experience that, for those who seek sharpness, stuck and clarity without spending more, it will be more than enough. The serious ones are well achieved, with a powerful glue but without rumble. The same with the average frequencies, which are not masked. However, in the most pronounced acute we can appreciate a slight distortion, especially when the volume exceeds 70-80%. We will notice this if we have the most trained ear, but the global experience is balanced and more than correct. LG Xboom Buds | Image: Xataka In any case, it is always possible to adjust the equalization manually through the app. If we do not know what we are playing, my personal recommendation is to use the “immersive” mode for day to day and “bass boost” for more urban genres or for when we want something more stuck. Anyway, these headphones are not designed for audiophiles. They are not compatible with high definition codecs or Dolby Atmos, which will not matter too much if we listen to music through Spotify or YouTube Music. Noise cancellation. According to LG, headphones are capable of canceling up to 35 dB. In practice, the truth is that active noise cancellation works well, but does not reach what high -end headphones propose such as the Huawei Freebuds Pro 4 or Samsung’s Galaxy Buds 3. On the street it is possible that the noise of the cars is sneaky or that we listen to nearby conversations, although my cotton test is the three 3D printers that I have a few two meters from my position. LG Xboom Buds | Image: Xataka These machines make a very monotonous and relatively serious noise, which is precisely where the ANC knows how to breastfeed. The Xboom Buds of LG … Read more

The OnePlus path in the world of smartwatches has been the most interesting. After A first approach that left mixed sensations, the company climbed into the wear os car with a OnePlus 2 that he liked a lot and that he went straight to the Top watches with the Google operating system. His proposal consisted of a premium watch, a double processor architecture and a really good experience. With his new smartwatch, the OnePlus Watch 3the company wants to go one step further. And it is that the OnePlus Watch 3 retains many of the things that liked the previous model, but has been updated with some interesting novelties such as a digital crown, new measurements, a better interpretation of them and more battery. All this at a similar price, although somewhat higher, to its launch predecessor. Made the presentations, we will know it better.

The crown has a conical design, is textured and can be clip and turn. The OnePlus Watch 2 also had a crown, but only admitted pulsations. The clock bezels are made of titanium alloy, while the box is made of stainless steel. With regard to the front, OnePlus has managed to take better advantage of the frames and has mounted a 1.5 -inch AMOLED LTPO panel. The screen is made of the same material as the OnePlus 13reaching a peak shine up to 2,200 nitsall protected by a 2D sapphire crystal. Speaking of protections, the clock has been manufactured according to the MIL-STD-810AH military standard, it has IP68 certification and endure up to 5 ATM. Come on, he is not afraid of water. The two processors come back Image | OnePlus Under the hood, the device again bet on a double processor architecture: a Snapdragon W5 of Qualcomm for the most demanding tasks of Y a Bes2800 MCU for the most basic tasks. According to OnePlus, this new BES2800 processor improves the CPU in 200% and the NPU in 400%. We also have two operating systems: Wear os 5 (Powerful and complete) and a (simpler and efficient) rtos that alternate depending on energy configuration. Not only have the main components be updated, but also the sensory. To the heart rhythm sensors and SPO2, whose materials have been improved, OnePlus has added a doll temperature sensor. In addition, the company has improved the design of the sensor module, so that there is less distance between the LED and the photodetector and the impact of outside light is reduced. Image | OnePlus As for the battery, 631 generous mah They will feed this watch for five days in smart mode and up to 16 days in energy saving mode. It is still one of the highest autonomies in the market, although everything will depend on the use we make of the clock. It should be noted that the clock incorporates fast charging and that in just 10 minutes it offers up to a whole day of autonomy, according to the brand. The operating system is Wear OS 5, so it has access to Google Play, Google Wallet to pay and the entire Google ecosystem. In the case of having a OnePlus smartphone, it will also be possible smartwatch screen). Health and Sports Improvements Image | OnePlus The firm has also improved how metrics are taught, giving more cohesion to all the information in the form of “360 body and mind”, a new app that, in essence, processes all the information collected by the clock and digest it to give us a global metricunderstandable and based on patterns. This is something that we have already seen in many other wearables of other brands and that now reaches the OnePlus clock. But the most juicy novelty is that, finely, OnePlus has managed to implement the electrocardiogram. Thanks to the sensor located in the “Everything in one” button (the lower one, the one that is not the crown) we can make an electrocardiogram in 30 seconds and measure our vascular health AKA the arterial rigidity. Not only that, but In 60 seconds we can make us a “medical check -up” which measures the pulsations, vascular age, the level of oxygen in blood,. Mental well -being, sleep quality and skin temperature. Image | OnePlus Or it will, rather, because neither the electrocardiogram nor this check in 60 seconds will be available. They are pending approval by the organisms and is expected to arrive in the second quarter of 2025. Finally, and in the face of the most athletes, the clock is able to analyze More than 100 sports modes and includes 11 professional ways to obtain more detailed metrics. One of them is, how could it be otherwise, running. And in that sense, note that the firm has improved the GPS chip and implemented a double band chip that should improve tracking even in more complex places.

Japan will copy Venice to stop mass tourism. Two levels of transport price: the tourist pays more

by

Exactly one week there was a stir for the decision that Venice had adopted to stop mass tourism. It was an update of a measure that took months ago: an entry rate for the tourist, which was now going to duplicate In view of the good results he had given to public coffers. Japan had already “flirted” with something similar with A double pricing system in menus. Now Kyoto wants to go further with public transport. First was the menu. As we said, last summer the nation hospitality saw an opportunity before the massive arrival of tourists. Japan’s restaurant industry implemented A two -level price system in the most tourist places in the nation. You don’t have to be very lynx to understand it: restaurants seek to take advantage of the influx of foreign visitors, a strategy where it is also not scare to local customers. Behind this price increase there was something as evident as purchasing power. Restoration companies were or more towards tourists because, in essence, they are willing to pay more. Miki Watanabe, president of the important Watami restaurant chain, I explained it that way: “The Japanese do not buy 3,000 yen sirloin skewers, but tourists who arrive in Japan say it is cheap and buy them.” The thing now is different. The news today takes us to Kyoto, the former capital of Japan. They want Implement a system of differentiated rates in public transportbecoming the first city in the country to adopt this measure to manage the growing number of foreign visitors. Mayor Koji Matsui has proposed that Tourists pay a higher rate on buses operated by the city compared to local residents, with the aim of generating funds to mitigate congestion and preserve cultural heritage. Living with mass tourism. We have told it countless times. From the reopening of borders after the pandemic and with a weak yen that favors the spending of tourists, Kyoto and many others Japanese cities have experienced a massive influx of tourists. In 2024, the city, which has 1.5 million inhabitants, received seven million international tourists, which has generated concerns about its impact on everyday life. This phenomenon is part of a broader trend in Japan, than In 2024 he reached a record of 36 million foreign visitorswith a total expense that exceeded 8 billion yen. The negative effects of mass tourism in the city include Aglomerations in public transport, garbage in the streets and cultural conflicts. In fact, some residents have reported difficulties in accessing buses due to excess passengers, which especially affects students and people who need to move to hospitals. Proposed measures. To counteract these problems, the Kyoto authorities have promoted several initiatives, including, The commented differentiated rate in urban buseswhere tourists would pay more than residents, allowing funds to improve infrastructure and reduce the impact of tourism. In addition, the administration also plans An increase in accommodation tax for those who stay in hotels in the city or the creation of exclusive buses for touristswith routes to the main tourist sites, thus relieving the pressure on public transport used by the premises. Moreover. There is also talk of the Distribution of awareness brochures to educate visitors/tourists about the rules of Japanese behavior and cultural sensibilities. In this regard, Mayor Matsui has emphasized that these measures seek to balance the daily life of residents with the tourist influx, ensuring that the local community also receives benefits of tourism activity. Other examples. In this way, Japan joins other enclaves such as The commented in Venice. The truth is that from a while to this part, the so -called differentiated tarification has already been implemented or will do so in other places. For example, in Himeji, Japan, It was proposed to raise the entrance fee to Himeji Castle for not residentsParis plans Apply higher rates at the Louvre Museum For visitors outside the EU, and in India it has been applied Differentiated rates in emblematic monuments such as Taj Mahalwith higher prices for foreign tourists. All initiatives that seek a balance between the promotion of tourism and the preservation of heritage and the quality of life of the residents. A cultural problem. It is the last of the legs to be treated in the nation and its tourist boom. Beyond the quantitative theme and logistics impact, mass tourism In Japan it has also generated cultural conflicts. In Kyoto, and due to the inappropriate behaviors of tourists, Mayor Matsui has pointed out some “tips” to take into accountsuch as eating while walking through the streets, which is considered of bad education in Japanese culture. In addition, Matsui also recalled that making strong noises in sanctuaries and other sacred spaces, chasing the geishas to take photographs without permission or entering tea houses without prior reserve, interrupting their traditional functioning, it is everything but educated for the nation. Plus: The geographical design of the city, surrounded by mountains and with narrow streets in its historic center, aggravates these problems, making the city particularly sensitive to tourist saturation. The future of tourism. That said, and despite the difficulties, Kyoto says he remains committed to receiving tourists and sharing his cultural and historical wealth. However, the local administration works to ensure that this growth is managed sustainably. Matsui reaffirms that these initiatives do not seek to restrict tourism, but to administer it efficiently and respectfully with the community and the environment. The proposal of differentiated rates is part of a two -year planwhich must still be approved by the City Council. If implemented, Kyoto would mark a precedent in Japan and could influence other regions that face similar problems with mass tourism. Image | Robert Thomson In Xataka | Visitors do not stop arriving.

The price of rice has raised so much that Japan has had to make an unprecedented decision: resort to its reservations

by

Few things reflect to what extent there is a crisis situation that the price of a basic product in the supermarket. In Japan, and in most Asia, Rice is a fundamental pillar of foodsupporting the life of much of the population. However, a combination of factors threatens the essential cereal. In Japan he has never been so expensive, and the government has made an unprecedented decision. Tons of rice. Given the increase in rice due to distribution problems, the Japanese government has announced that, As of March, it will release 210,000 tons from its emergency reserve To stabilize the market. It is, therefore, The first time this reserve is used with the purpose of reducing pricesinstead of doing so for emergencies such as bad harvests or natural disasters. The Minister of Agriculture, Taku Eto, emphasized that rice production has been enough to meet demand, but bottlenecks in the distribution have maintained high prices. In 2024, Production increased by 180,000 tons compared to the previous year. However, the amount collected by distributors fell into 210,000 tons, which suggests that Farmers and wholesalers retained stocks anticipating new price increases. According to researcher Masayuki Ogawa at UTSunomiya University, The mismatch is due to the entry of speculative buyers They have artificially maintained prices without the benefits reaching producers. Crisis factors. As we said at the beginning (And in past weeks), there are several. The price of a five kg package of Japanese rice has risen from 2,023 yen to 3,688 yen in a year. Causes? The 2023 record heat wave reduced agricultural yields and reserves, while consumption increased due to unprecedented tourism. Besides, The warnings of typhoons and earthquakes unleashed panic purchaseswhich led some retailers to limit sales. To this we must add what we commented before. The harvest has not been bad, but quite the opposite, but everything indicates that farmers and wholesalers retained stocks anticipating new price increases. Liberation strategy and expectations. To relieve market pressure, The Ministry will initially auction 150,000 tons of rice to agricultural and wholesale cooperatives, mostly composed of a grain of 2024, with a small part of 2023. Subsequently, another 60,000 tons will be releaseddepending on the impact of the first phase. The auction will take place in mid -March, which means that rice will begin to reach shops between the end of March and April. The main objective is clear: Improve distribution without intervening directly in the market price mechanism. In this regard, Eto reaffirmed the government’s position that Prices must be regulated by supply and demandtrusting that the measure helps normalize the situation. In addition, the Ministry plans to replace (buy “back”) the amount released within the year, with flexibility in the deadlines according to the market reaction. Impact on consumers and industry. While the measure is expected to reduce the price of rice, Ogawa warned that The decrease will not be immediate or uniform at all points of sale. Instead of directly impacting prices in supermarkets, released rice probably is destined for the prepared food industry, such as restaurants, hospitals and schools. What is that reserve of the nation. Japan implemented its rice reservation system in 1995, after the supply crisis caused by an unusually cold summer in 1993. Since then, since then, since then, The government maintains a stock of approximately one million tons and are stored in some 300 facilities nationwide, annually renewing 200,000 tons to guarantee the supply in emergency situations. In fact, a warehouse in Saitama, near Tokyo, allowed access to media before the ad, Showing 20,000 tons of rice, enough to fill 300 million bowls. In the past, these reserves have been used after natural disasters such as the earthquake and tsunami of 2011 in Tohoku and the Lady of Kumamoto in 2016. Now it remains to be seen that the movement has effect and the stabilization in the distribution is containing the price increase In the medium term.

The problem of buying a house in Spain is no longer just its price. Is that you have less than 73 days to decide

by

Two and a half months. Something less even. In a real estate market marked by the mismatch between supply and demand and in which Operations increase of sale that is what lasts on a home in available: two and a half months, 73 days To be more precise. A few years ago that data exceeded the 90 days. They are just that, figures, raw data, but they act as a thermometer of the sector. In fact there are cities, especially those that have tension markets, in which the deadline is even lower. A market for fast. In Spain the real estate market has its peculiaritiestrends and Factors susceptible to interpreting in different ways, but of course something is clear: they buy the fastest. He last report Prepared by Technocasa and UPF, it shows that, on average, in 2024 only 73 days were needed to sell a home. The data is interesting for several reasons. First because it is two days less than in 2023. Second, he delves into a trend that dates back to the beginning of the decade, when the properties took average for more than three months to find a buyer. In 2020 the average was 94 days. Beyond the average. 73 is a statistical indicator, the average of sale for the whole of Spain. If we go down to detail and consult the segregated data at the territorial level we verify that there are locations in which the period in which sales are closed is considerably shorter. In Barcelona that average was only 68 days, in Valencia of 67, 66 in Malaga, 62 in Seville and 61 in Bilbao. The market in which the properties last The Madridwhere the brand is in just 60 days. A market, two realities. The report of Tecnocasa Group and UPF Also verify that not all properties run the same fate in the market. According to their data, 55% of homes have been selling less than half a year. Moreover, almost 37% is announced on online platforms and real estate agencies for just three months. In the opposite pole, almost a quarter of the properties (23.6%) have been available for a year or longer. One of the keys could be its overvaluation. The report estimates that in the most ‘veteran’ homes it exceeds 18%. Why is it important? From what he tells us about the market. The authors of the report verify a clear mismatch between the demand, upwards, and an offer that thinns. Two data arrive to check. While 2024 closed above the 266,000 active purchase applications, which is 80,000 more than during the same period of 2023, and the number of potential buyers grew by 39% in December, the housing offer has moved in the direction opposite The Technocasa and UPF report estimates that it fell 9.3%. City Necessary days for sale Saragossa 76 Barcelona 68 Valencia 67 Malaga 66 Seville 62 Bilbao 61 Madrid 60 “A boiling market”. The study calculates that if in an area with a 5,000 -homes real estate park there was an average of 70.9 properties for sale in the late 2023, a year later that data was significantly lower: it was already around 64.3. The result, points to The country José García Montalvo, Professor of Economics, is “a boiling market”. “What we are seeing is that demand is squeezing much more than the supply, which is still insufficient,” emphasize The UPF expert. Another of the keys that help to understand the market is access to financing. The study detects an interannual increase in the average amount of mortgages, which is added to other indicators on credit. For example, registrars of Spain It carries several months verifying a sensitive increase in mortgages. “It’s a real casting”. The phrase is again from García Montalvo and summarizes the reality of the Spanish real estate market, at least as drawn by the Technocasa and UPF report. “The properties have hardly time to appear in the listings before multiple offers compete for them in an authentic casting,” Comment The expert. In a similar line, the director of Analysis of the Tecnocasa Group, Lázaro Cubero, Explain that last year there was “a very important demand increase.” “A 39% increase in a single year is not usual,” duckin reference to the increase of potential buyers that the report detected with respect to December 2023. The other indicator: prices. The time it takes for a home to find a buyer is not the only clue that tells us about demand and supply. There is another even more eloquent indicator: prices. After calculating the measure of a selection of cities, the Technocasa report indicates that in the second semester of 2024 the M2 stood at 2,802 euros, 12.13% more than during the same period of 2023. The report is also interesting for another reason. Its technicians estimate that the price in the second semester of 2024 was more or less at levels of mid -2005, but still far from the dimensions that were reached during the real estate bubble, between 2006 and 2007. In recent weeks Some experts They have pointed out that the M2 would have already exceeded the 2007 values, although everything indicates that the Sorpasso It focuses only on nominal prices, not real. That is, this calculation obviates the effect of inflation. Does it happen only in sales? No. The sales rate will be increasingly agile in the sale market (at least among the properties not excessively overvalued by its vendors), but pales compared to the tempos of the residential rental market. At the beginning of 2024 idealista calculated that 18% of homes They were leaving in their portal did not last 24 hours free. Moreover, in some cities the percentage of homes with a fleeting step by real estate was even greater: in Tarragona they were 31% and in San Sebastián 29%.

Now any US smartphone can be connected for free to Starlink satellites. From July it will have a price

by

Spacex and T-Mobile took advantage of the Super Bowl to announce that the service of Direct cell connection with Starlink satellites It is already available in the test phase in the United States. The surprise is that it will be free until July, even for customers from other operators. Then it will become a payment service, accessible from any modern smartphone with ESIM. How T-Mobile Starlink works. Spacex has launched more than 7,000 Starlink satellites; 450 of them are Direct to Cell. In addition to offering Broadband Internetthese satellites function as telephone towers in space. When a T-Mobile Starlink user stays without coverage, his mobile will connect directly to the satellites that are passing over, and they will talk to each other to forward the messages to an earth station. Although at the moment the service is limited to sending text messages, in the future it will also allow voice calls and data services. Spacex has shown that Even video calls are feasible With Starlink Direct to Cell, but more satellites will be needed in orbit so that the company can offer a generalized use of this type of complex services. What devices are compatible. The connection with the satellites is direct and does not require parabolic antennas, as is the case with Starlink broadband. Any modern smartphone compatible with the LTE 25 band should be able to connect to Starlink Direct to Cell, although T-Mobile only mentions some examples: iPhone 14 or higher, recent Google, Motorola and Samsung devices, and the Revvl line of T-Mobile. In addition to T-Mobile customers, Verizon, AT&T and other operators can also register in the service with an unlocked terminal that ESIM admits. In the future, coverage will be international through alliances with operators from other countries. How much does the service cost. The great claim of the Super Bowl announcement is that T-Mobile Starlink will be free until July, be the operator you are. Those interested have only to Complete a form With your name, your email and your mobile phone number, accepting in return to receive T-Mobile marketing offers. The highs are carried out in order of arrival, which is generating demand peaks. But the thing will change from July, when the beta phase of the service ends. From that moment on, T-Mobile customers will have to pay $ 15 per month so as not to run out of signal without coverage ($ 10 per month if they take advantage of the starting offer). Customers of other operators will pay much more: $ 20 per month without discounts. It will soon reach other countries. Starting with New Zealand through the ONENZ operator. And following Australia, Ukraine, Canada, Switzerland, Chile, Peru and Japan. Entel is Spacex’s partner in the only two Latin American countries on the list. Starlink It is already a profitable businessbut Direct to Cell can only expand Spacex’s advantage over its competitors. No other company has the competitive advantage of reusing up to 25 times its own rockets. And when some get it, Spacex will have already started throwing satellites with Starship.

Venice invented an entry rate to stop mass tourism. It has come out so well that it will double the price

by

Tourism is equal to massification in Venice. It is nothing new and, in fact, the enclave has been a pioneer in some regulations that have sought to put the hordes to combine the life of the premises and that their ecosystem does not end up engulfed victim of their own success. His geography simply does not give for more, and that’s why they have imposed Bumpers to large groups with fines Whoever passes, or even They have tracked phones. They also imposed A pioneering tollan entry rate that went so well that They doubled the days. Now also the price. The experiment is consolidated. As we said, Venice is a pioneer in the imposition of An entry rate for single -day visitorsand success has been such for the administration that They have decided to duplicate the rate in 2025, raising it from 5 to 10 euros for those who enter without accommodation reserve. In addition, and as we explained a few months ago, The measure will be applied in 54 days a year, almost twice the 29 days selected in 2024. The dates include a continuous block from April 18 to May 4, followed by every Friday, Saturdays and Sundays until the end of July. The collection will remain from 8:30 am to 4:00 pm, and those who reserve at least four days in advance may pay only 5 euros. What do politicians say. The Tourism Councilor, Simone Venturini, gave a track of the announced change. Apparently, at the Milan Bit fair, he said that the 2024 pilot project was so successful, achieving its goal of managing tourist flows and discouraging massive tourism of a single day, which they have decided to enhance it. In fact, International destinations such as Formentera in Spain either Kyoto in Japan They have shown interest in replicating the Venetian initiative. Impact on the tourist rate. In 2024, almost half a million tourists (485,062) paid the entry rate, that is, that They generated 2.4 million euros in revenue to public coffers (The cost of the system or the destination of the funds collected) has not been revealed. The registration data indicates that, after the Italians, the main tourists were Americans, Germans and French. In addition, the measure achieved a slight reduction in the number of visitors from the Véneto region, although the authorities have not given figures. We also remember that despite this tariff increase, access remains free for those who spend the night in the city, although They must register online in CDA.ve.it to obtain their exemption. Travelers who only transit Piazzale Rome, Tronchetto or Stazione Marittima, as well as those who visit the outer islands of the lagoon (Lido, Murano and Burano) without going through the center are also exempt. The future in Venice. It is the big question. The authorities admit that the rate alone is not enough to manage mass tourism, but they do consider that The created system feels the bases for future regulations stricter. Venice, that Receive tourists from 194 countriesremains one of the destinations most affected by tourist overexploitation, which has led to the implementation of increasingly restrictive measures in an effort to protect its fragile urban ecosystem and preserve its historical character. One more than difficult equation.
