visitor fee for florence/venice etc
we got into a debate over this at a bbq last night
apart from the complications of administering this, it doesnt appear to me as being *fundamentally* wrong to charge vistors.
i am not sure how others would feel by being charged where locals would get in free.
and i thought i would get your folks opinions on this. thx

I know in Costa Rica the cit. get into all national parks, museums, beaches etc. for free. I think this is fine...
In Ocean City MD, the locals get into the bars for free also. Its a bonus of living there I got to enjoy while in college....wish they had the same thing in NY where we live!

The thinking is that the residents pay taxes in that locale and are therefor paying the fee already.
Whereas, the visitor is paying as they use it.
In my area, as a local I get free or reduced price to places and visitors pay a higher rate.
