Pompeii will limit daily visitors to 20,000 starting November 15 to combat over-tourism.

The Pompeii archaeological park in Italy will limit daily visitors to 20,000 starting November 15 to address over-tourism and protect the site. This decision follows a peak of over 36,000 visitors on a free-admission Sunday. Park director Gabriel Zuchtriegel emphasized the need for conservation and safety. Additionally, personalized tickets will be introduced, and efforts will be made to promote nearby ancient sites through a free shuttle service under the "Greater Pompeii" project.
