Tourism leaders in Spain are concerned that a new 'tax' on British visitors could seriously cut the number of UK holidaymakers traveling to the country. The EU is set to make post-Brexit Brits visiting the bloc pay for security checks, and there are fears it will reduce the number of UK tourists in Europe.
The concerns were raised at a recent meeting of the Spanish Tourism Board. A spokesman said: "The Tourism Board is especially concerned about the impact of this tax on British tourism, our main issuing market with 18 million arrivals in 2019.
"'It must also be taken into account that the measure - if it goes ahead - will be added to the rest of local taxes that the tourist is already paying to visit certain European cities."
