Let’s hope everyone whining about the new Wales tourist tax never have to visit Manchester, Bournemouth, Christchurch, Poole, Liverpool, Blackpool, Great Yarmouth, Tweed Valley, Loch Ness, or Moray & Speyside which already have tourism taxes often referred to as “City Visitor Charges” or “Visitor Levies”. Strangely you never heard any of the protests when these taxes were imposed, and Cornwall will soon follow.
The Welsh Tourism Tax is a proposed charge set to be introduced in Wales from 2027. It involves a fee of £1.25 per person per night for most accommodations (like hotels, B&Bs, and self-catering stays) and £0.75 per night for campsites and hostels. The levy aims to fund local tourism infrastructure, promote sustainable tourism, and support the Welsh language. All this fuss for the price of a bar of chocolate? And it hasn’t even arrived yet……..
