Finance Secretary Mark Drake explained that local authorities would be able to choose whether or not to introduce a tourism tax for overnight visitors. This tax aims to share the costs of maintaining public infrastructure and services among all who benefit, including visitors, though he noted that local residents would still bear the majority of these costs.
Mr. Drakeford emphasized that while the proposed tourism tax could alleviate some financial pressures, local residents will continue to shoulder the 'considerable bulk' of public service costs, highlighting a crucial aspect of community fairness and sustainability in tourism management.
