In case you missed it...

We had a great virtual training session with Mike from our partner, Bookolis on Tuesday. Bookolis started out as a DMC for Cancun and surrounding areas, and how now expanded to building itineraries in the Caribbean, Europe and Southeast Asia.

They also hosted 10 ABTP members at our recent Bali FAM.

They offer accommodation, transportation, tours and some of the most unique experiences that your clients can't find on Google.

You can visit Bookolis' website to sign up as an agent and start planning! Or reach out to to a member of the ABTP team for more info

Trevi Fountain: The First Day of the €2 Entry

Today, February 2, Rome officially started charging €2 to access the close-up area of the Trevi Fountain. This is day one, and here’s exactly how it works, without confusion or exaggeration.

What you pay for (and what you don’t)

FREE: You can still see the Trevi Fountain from the square (Piazza di Trevi) exactly as before. No ticket needed to stand back, watch, or take photos.

€2 ENTRY: The fee applies only if you want to enter the controlled area right next to the water, where people traditionally stand to take close photos and toss coins.

How access works

Entry to the close-up area is regulated and limited to reduce overcrowding.

You pay €2 per person for access.

Once inside, you can:

Take close photos

Toss a coin

Stay for a short, reasonable visit (this is not timed like a museum, but it’s not unlimited lingering either)

When the fee applies

The paid access is active during the day, roughly 9:00 AM to 10:00 PM.

Early morning and late night viewing from the square remains free, as always.

Who does NOT pay

Rome residents (with valid ID)

Children (young minors)

Visitors with disabilities + one companion

How you pay

Payment is done on site, near the controlled entrance.

Card payments are accepted.

In busy moments, you may scan a QR code and wait briefly for your turn to enter.

Why Rome introduced this

Trevi Fountain sees tens of thousands of people per day in peak seasons. This system is meant to:

Reduce dangerous overcrowding

Protect the monument

Improve the experience instead of turning the area into permanent chaos

Happy Birthday 🎂💙🌴🇲🇽
