Tourism brings benefits, but it also brings costs that councils in financial freefall are currently forced to cover.

A tourist tax is a reasonable way to rebalance this. And we should pair it with VAT cuts that help local pubs and community events thrive.

"Cruise ships must pay for the damage they cause," she stated. The tax will be levied on tourists arriving in the city, and revenue generated will be directed towards improving local infrastructure and services that support sustainable tourism.

Doesn’t seem to have affected France

(Nor the lack of monarchy)

I might be wrong, but I don't think it has ever been pitched as a 'foreigners only' tax. And its real name – the 'Overnight Visitor Levy' – kind of gives it away.

Tourism levy would bring significant additional revenue into our city, & ensure local residents see benefit of tourism in our city. Balance between visitor economy & local communities has been inequitable w/ local revenue being spent on additional public services & other....

English councils/combined authorities should automatically have the same powers (over both #CongestionCharge and #TrafficEnforcement), and also powers to raise #TouristTax

I really don’t understand why regional mayors in England aren’t getting powers to do this (if they want to) #TouristTax

Tourist levy to be introduced in Edinburgh from 24 July 2026. Expected to raise c£50m annually.

This means residents and tourists will “… see cleaner streets, they will see quicker removal of graffiti, better environmental improvements, more attractive spaces and better transport connections”
Edinburgh becomes first 'tourist tax' city in Scotland
A tourist tax designed to raise £50m annually will be introduced to Edinburgh from next year.

There is of course a #TouristTax! We were charged 7 € a night. The hotel make that tax quite explicit, so it's very clear. And when you see the massive strain that tourists impose on the city, its a good thing.

The #TouristTax is necessary. But as you say it’s not going to be a substitute for proper interventions like a WPL or congestion charge.

I am surprised that the tourist tax has not been done earlier. Lots of European cities already do this. I seem to mind paying it when we were in Poland

I thought I'd seen something announced recently about Mayors being given the powers to implement a #TouristTax which is good but fairly feeble from a devolution POV

So the English government in Westminster and their agents opposed the #TouristTax in #Cymru and Scotland but now it’s ok for England.
A bit like #20mph🤷🏻‍♂️.
