The example of Venice, which for a few days has been experimentally applying the application of the “entrance ticket”, now wants to follow a popular village in the Swiss Alps.

The local authority at Lauterbrunnen, a valley in Switzerland’s Bernese Oberland mountain region, has set up a task force to find new ways to limit overtourism, according to Swiss Info.

The small and picturesque community of Lauterbrunnen – which is home to less than 800 residents, according to local authorities – faces traffic problems, the streets are often covered by the large amount of garbage and the rents are too high.

One idea being considered is to introduce an entry ticket for some visitors, Swiss Info reported on Thursday, citing local newspaper Berner Zeitung.

The proposed fee, which will be paid through a smartphone app, it will be between 5 and 10 Swiss francs ($5.50 to $10.99) and will apply to all-day guests by car.

“The exception would be visitors who have booked an offer such as a hotel or an excursion or who arrive by public transport,” said Lauterbrunnen mayor Karl Näpflin, according to Swiss Info.

There are already more than 60 destinations around the world where these types of taxes are already in place, and the introduction of such tourism taxes often proves controversial.

The first day of the entrance fee in Venice, on April 25, was met with protests from some locals who felt their home had been turned into a theme park.

The Lauterbrunnen Valley is home to many attractions, including the Staubbach Falls, one of Europe’s highest uninterrupted waterfalls at 270 meters.

Last year, the Swiss hotel industry recorded the highest level of overnight stays ever during a summer season at 23.9 million.
