Just how much do you love your visits across the border to Wales?
Llandudno is a favourite destination but would you pay an extra tax to visit?A tourism tax is likely to become a reality within the next two years. That means that, on top of travel, rent or hotel fees, you will end up paying extra to the Welsh government for every night of your stay.
Similar charges are commonplace around the world, used in more than 40 destinations including Greece, Frankfurt, Amsterdam and Catalonia. However, Ms Jones accepted there are opponents to the tax, describing it as a"hot potato" in tourism. She added:"There's still a degree of nervousness in businesses operating at the moment so there will be a split in how the trade will view a tourism tax in Wales.
However, it also said many responses came from representatives of the tourism industry and many disagreed with the principle of a visitor tax. He said:"The very last thing that business people who are creating those growth opportunities need right now is a tourism tax of the kind being brought forward by the Welsh Labour government in Cardiff that will hit these businesses with new burdens and raise the cost of going on holiday in Wales".
