How Austria's Tyrol region plans to hike tax on tourists
Briefly

The authorities plan to relieve the tax burden on local businesses, especially those not directly benefiting from tourism, while increasing the tax on visitors.
Tourists' local tax will rise from 1 to 2.60 per person per night, with municipalities able to increase it up to a maximum of 5.
Only businesses directly connected to tourism will pay the full tax; others will see reductions of 25% or 50%, with micro-enterprises exempt.
The state government frames the reform as part of a larger economic relief package, promising 10 million in savings for the local economy.
