In the picturesque town of Auronzo di Cadore, nestled amidst the majestic Three Peaks of South Tyrol, a new measure is being proposed to manage the influx of tourists. Dario Vacellio Galeno, the town's mayor, is taking a proactive approach to address the growing challenges posed by mass tourism.

The proposed solution is a ticket system, designed to put a halt to the increasing number of visitors. With peak days seeing up to 13,000 people flocking to the region, the mayor's actions are a response to the mounting difficulty in managing the crowds.

Details about the specifics of the ticket system, such as cost and distribution, have yet to be disclosed. However, the intention is clear: to significantly reduce the number of tourists visiting the region by next summer, aiming to restore a sense of tranquility and manageability to this small town.

The news of the proposed ticket system was first reported by the South Tyrolean newspaper "Sudtirol News". The implementation of the pay system is yet to be decided, but the potential impact on tourism in the region is undeniable.

At present, there is no information available about the mayor of Auronzo di Cadore or any entrance system measure related to tourism pressure in the search results. As more details emerge, it will be interesting to see how this innovative approach to tourism management unfolds.

Stay tuned for updates on this developing story.
