  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. @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.

  6. Wow, this is a pretty underwhelming commitment. £1.25 in 2027. That will certainly cost more to collect than the tax itself.

  7. 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

  8. 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!

  9. 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.

    Unless tourists resist the #TouristTax by going somewhere that doesn't charge it. 🤷

  12. If you wander round #London, you start to question whether the #CostofLiving crisis actually exists. Queues outside the Ugg shop, queues outside bespoke trainer shops, huge queues for coffee vans!!! Hugely busy. Very easy to be trapped in a London bubble when it comes to prosperity. One assumes #tourists are hugely enjoying our weak pound. Time for a #TouristTax to fill the #blackhole of government finances? Most other European countries have one... open.spotify.com/episode/4VndL
