Welsh government hopes to boost tourism and heritage with proposed 'tourist tax'
Briefly

"If all local authorities introduced a levy, it could potentially generate up to £33m across Wales. Amid significant budget pressures, this additional revenue has the potential to make a substantial positive impact on our communities."
"Visitor levies play a crucial role in supporting communities and protecting the environment all over the world. Many countries have seen real benefits from the reinvestment of visitor levy funds. We believe such success can be replicated in Wales."
"These plans should be scrapped immediately," said the Welsh Conservative party, expressing their discontent with the proposed tourist tax.
"Venice became the world's first city to charge day trippers an entry fee of €5. Other cities could learn from Venice's experiment, while critics said the scheme was doomed to failure."
