Pompeii is facing significant challenges due to rising visitor numbers and inadequate entry systems leading to long queues and frustrated visitors. Tour guides, who earn their living from conducting tours, report that the introduction of named tickets and a cap on daily visitors has led to even more bottlenecks. With tourists queuing for as long as 45 minutes in the sun, the experience is suffering. While management aims to limit crowd size for safety, these measures have inadvertently complicated access, urging discussion on better solutions for tourism management at this historic site.
Understanding the real implications of the ticketing system, Mazzarella noted that larger groups receive time-consuming vouchers, contributing to the lengthy wait times in the sun.
Zuchtriegel emphasized the need to alleviate "human pressure" on Pompeii, yet, the introduction of named tickets is leading to exacerbated bottlenecks before visitors can actually explore.
