Pompeii,the ancient city buried(埋葬) in an eruption(火山喷发) from nearby Mount Vesuvius in AD 79,is one of the best-kept Roman sites anywhere in the world. More and more people are visiting the city,reaching a record high of 36,000 tourists on October 6,2024. However,from November 15,2024,it began to cap its daily visitor number to 20,000 a day.
Nearly four million people visited the main Pompeii site in 2023,a third more than the earlier year. In October 2024,there were more than 480,000 visitors,putting the average(平均) at about 15,500 a day. The busiest month in 2024 was May,when about 517,000 people visited,or some 16,700 a day.
The 20,000 number is likely to only lead to tourists being turned away in some situations. A spokesperson said that it had only exceeded(超过) 20,000 visitors when entry is free on the first Sunday of the month,as well as three or four fee-paying days.
Gabriel Zuchtriegel,the park's director,said that stopping too many visitors entering Pompeii was important for the site's protection and safety reasons.
