«Breaking News» Tourists banned from walking Italy’s Cinque Terre coastline in flip-flops and could be fined £2,000

Tourists are banned from walking Italy's famous Cinque Terre coastline in flip-flops and could be fined up to £2,000 if they break the law.

The decision has been made after mountain rescue units complained of hikers who get caught out with inappropriate footwear on the craggy terrain in Liguria.

Bosses at the picturesque national park will crack down on those who do not heed their advice with fines starting at £40 and rising to £2,000. 

The stunning coastline of Cinque Terre is a centuries old collection of villages along the Italian Riviera

Tourists flock to the craggy terrain in the summer months, but authorities are sick of dealing with those ill-equipped to deal with the land

The sum used to penalise offenders will be defined by the trouble they have caused to rescue workers, The Telegraph reported.

'We are adopting a measure together with the forestry and the mayors', Patrizio Scarpellini, director of the Cinque Terre park told TGCOM24, 'it will be a gradual introduction, first with information and then with sanctions.'

The crackdown comes as the tourist season is set to come into full swing next month with thousands flocking to Cinque Terre.

Last year Club Alpino Italiano - a hiking club who volunteer on the mountain - said they had to rush to help a German family trapped on the craggy peaks with a pram.

The club's head Maurizio Cattani told TGCOM24, 'These are alpine paths, tourists cannot come in slippers and without water - we need caution.

Cruise ships bring tourists from across the world, as do trains which run round the stunning coastal path.

There has been debate in recent years over whether to close off certain paths as the footfall could be damaging the unique environment.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
