An Italian hotspot is planning to limit tourist groups to 25 people and also ban the use of loudspeakers in its latest effort to combat over-tourism. These latest rules are just an addition to multiple changes that Venice, one of the most visited European cities, has been making to save itself from mass tourism.

Venice's city council last week announced that the use of loudspeakers has been banned as they can "generate confusion and disturbances". As per the new rules, which are set to come into place on June 1, tourist groups cannot stop at narrow streets, bridges or places of passage.
