Tourist taxes have emerged in various European cities as a solution to the challenges posed by over-tourism. Initially aimed at managing the high volume of visitors, these taxes also serve to fund local infrastructure and maintain public amenities. Set typically at 1 to 5 per night, they are included in accommodation fees and used to enhance local services. Experts like Michael Corrigan of Trtl Travel argue these funds significantly improve public spaces, while George Levett highlights the potential for sustainability in tourism as key cities consider such tax implementation.
Michael Corrigan, CEO of Trtl Travel, explains that the money is usually put to good use by the local government, including sprucing up parks and keeping streets clean.
George Levett at Conveyancing Solicitor states that a tourism tax can ensure that tourism remains sustainable and does not overly burden residents of the local environment.
