England Tourist Tax
England will soon allow local mayors to charge a tourist tax on overnight hotel stays.
The tax will cover hotels, B&Bs, and holiday homes. Mayors can choose the price, but most plan to keep it under 5% of the room bill.
Cities like Manchester and Edinburgh already use similar fees. The new tax will likely start before 2029. Many tourism businesses are unhappy. They worry that visitors will choose other places to avoid extra fees, which could lead to a 1.8 billion pound loss in tourism spending.
Mayors don't have to introduce the tax, and some local leaders already said no.
Difficult Words:
mayor – an elected leader of a city or town government.
likely – expected to happen or very probable.
avoid – to stay away from a person, place, or situation.
