Manchester introduces tourist tax for all visitors - how much you'll have to pay

Tourists to Manchester will have to pay to stay from later this week in a UK first.

From April 1 everyone who stays in a city centre hotel or holiday apartment will have to fork out £1 per night, per room.

Officially called the ‘City Visitor Charge’, it is hoped the tax won't stop people from heading to Manchester and will raise £3million a year.
