Starring role for ‘Kardashian jetty’ as Venice visitors seek peeks of Bezos wedding sites

AI Summary

long article 4 min

A small jetty outside Venice's Gritti Palace hotel has become a tourist attraction due to its association with Jeff Bezos's wedding in June 2023. The wedding, which brought an estimated €957.3m to the local economy, drew numerous celebrities, including Kim Kardashian, to the city. Since then, tourists have increasingly requested tours of locations linked to the wedding festivities, such as the Aman hotel where the couple stayed and designer boutiques visited by guests like Ivanka Trump. Tour guides are now catering to this demand, shifting away from traditional landmarks to show visitors the sites frequented by Bezos and his celebrity guests during the high-profile event. The fascination with the wedding locations persists months after the event.
