The Welsh government is set to introduce a visitor levy, or tourism tax, from 2027. Outlined in a new bill, visitors could pay £1.25 per night for most accommodations, with a reduced rate of £0.75 for camping pitches and dormitories.
A report we authored on the effects of visitor levies around the world helped to inform the bill.
This move follows similar steps taken in Scotland. It would make Wales the 25th country in Europe, by our count, and the 50th worldwide, to implement some type of visitor levy.
