Pompei Today
Pompeii, now part of a larger Vesuvius National Park, is the most popular tourist attraction in Italy with 2.5 million visitors a year.
The Soprintendenza Archaeologica di Pompei have tried to alleviate the pressure on the city by issuing tickets that also allow tourists to visit Herculaneum, Stabiae and the Villa Poppaea as well.
UNESCO declared it a World Heritage Site by in 1997.
Unfortunately Pompeii has been subject to both natural and man-made forces (erosion, water damage, poor methods of excavation, vandalism, theft and, of course, tourism), which have worsened the deterioration.
