The Welsh Government is to unveil plans for a new tourist tax that would have to be paid by anyone from outside the country staying in Wales overnight. The plans being announced on Monday would give local authorities in Wales the power to add an additional charge to accommodation bills. Ministers say the tax would raise money to support the tourism industry but opponents say it will put visitors off. Local councils will decide whether to impose the tax in their areas.
It's a power for those local authorities that wish to use it that will collect a small amount of money from visitors coming to that area for re-investment in the things that make tourism a success in that area.' Many countries around the world implement tourist taxes, primarily to offset the impacts of tourism on infrastructure, the environment, or cultural heritage. Austria, France, Italy, and Spain apply nightly taxes that vary by region or accommodation type.
