Enjoy Respect Venezia

Venice’s Enjoy Respect Venezia campaign is the local council’s dedicated initiative designed to steer visitors towards mindful, considerate choices during their stay, safeguarding both the historic urban fabric and the daily lives of those who call the lagoon home.

Launched in 2017 to coincide with the UN International Year of Sustainable Tourism for Development, the campaign draws its ethos—and name—directly from the World Tourism Organization’s global Travel.Enjoy.Respect movement.

At its core, Enjoy Respect Venezia focuses on fostering thoughtful travel habits that help protect the city’s delicate natural environment, architectural treasures, and surrounding lagoon waters—a unique ecosystem and cultural landscape proudly designated a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1987.
