London Mayor Sadiq Khan expressed openness to considering a tourist tax, stating he will examine evidence from cities like Edinburgh, Manchester, Barcelona, and Paris where such taxes are implemented.
He emphasized the need to look at various aspects of the policy, saying: 'We'll be looking at what cities are doing not just across Europe, but in the UK as well.'
While local authorities in the UK can find legal workarounds to implement tourist charges, like Manchester's City Visitor Charge, the exact format for London remains undecided.
Khan also remarked, 'Let's wait and see what the evidence is. I'm somebody who believes in following the evidence.' stressing a need for thorough analysis before proceeding.
