Who do tourist taxes support?
Tourists pay taxes and then leave, so many cities choose them to help shoulder the budget. Italy expects to collect more than €1.2 billion, and Amsterdam wants to raise its accommodation tax to 20%.

Amsterdam’s 20M visitors in 2024 came at a cost—now made visible. A 12.5% tourist tax, €14.50 cruise fee, zero-emission zones, and canal boat reforms signal a shift: tourism must pay for its impact. This isn’t hostility—it’s governance. At Xtroverso, we read it clearly: livability is now a priced asset.

I feel we are just paying lip service to appease those suffering from the Disneyland-ification of #Spain. Every year since just about forever, the tourist volumes hit a new record. Our aim should be to wind that back to, say, 1999 numbers, with all remaining tourists paying a meaningful daily tax. Ban rentals under 2 weeks. Spain will not go bankrupt, far from it. Fewer tourists, more revenue, free up housing to be homes. Win-win.
@esetrapi @largess @ClimateHuman I'm still hoping for every country to get on board with per person, per night tourist taxes. Greece is raising its tax to €8 per day next summer.
Just asking people to be Good World Citizens isn't working. We need other, less subtle ways to curb excesses.
Wow, this is a pretty underwhelming commitment. £1.25 in 2027. That will certainly cost more to collect than the tax itself.
Have we reached peak tourism yet?
* Those unfortunate enough to live in a saturated destination can't afford a roof over their head
* Everybody knows flying is a huge accelerator of climate change
* All destinations are turning into Dubai clones with multi-national commerce, brands and "cuisine" destroying local character
Those obsessed with Instagram should learn photoshop to get their poxy selfies without fucking up the planet
Overtourism turns every destination into a Dubai clone. Expensive, bland, Instagram-obsessed, culturally sterile and boring. What remains is only appealing to those to whom a holiday in Dubai sounds like a Great Idea.
The very act of visiting an over touristed destination contributes to its #enshittification in so many ways.
#touristtax and #jetfueltax now!
I just paid per person per night tourist tax in a hotel in Palma de Mallorca. €2.20.
Firstly, note that it exists (not just Cataluña!).
Secondly, it's ridiculously low. It could and should be at least twice that.
