HOLIDAYMAKERS heading to Wales could be forced to pay a tourist tax under plans<\/strong> outlined by the Welsh Government.<\/p>\n

The country is looking to introduce a levy for overnight visitors.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

According to ITVX, the charge could be introduced by 2027 under plans outlined by the Welsh Government. <\/p>\n

Despite the Welsh Government discussing the plans for several years, a new timetable was outlined in a promotional leaflet called "A visitor levy for Wales: A contribution for a sustainable future<\/span>". <\/p>\n

The tax would give councils<\/span> the power<\/span> to charge overnight guests. <\/p>\n

It said: "This contribution will be paid by visitors and invested in sustainable tourism, helping to grow our economy, support our communities, and preserve the beauty of Wales for future generations."<\/p>\n

While Welsh Labour and Plaid Cymru support the charge, the Welsh Conservatives are opposed to the levy. <\/p>\n

The proposal will be put to the Senedd (Welsh Parliament) by the end of this year. <\/p>\n

If the plans are approved, councils in Wales, and their local communities, will then decide whether they should charge holidaymakers. <\/p>\n

Earlier this year, joint chairwoman of Anglesey Tourism Association Nia Jones told the\u00a0BBC: "Some local authorities are for it – I don't think we're talking a huge amount of money, it'll be a couple of pounds extra for the accommodation sector.<\/p>\n

"The important part is that is spent on the tourism infrastructure and if that happens and people can see the visible and tangible benefits<\/span> of the tax then we wait to see how it works."<\/p>\n

While a tourist tax is a common feature in many European cities, destinations across the UK have also started to introduce the levy. <\/p>\n

Earlier this year, Manchester became the first city in the UK to introduce such a charge.<\/p>\n

Any visitors staying in the city will need to pay \u00a31 a night, per room, as part of the new scheme.<\/p>\n

Other areas of the country, like Bath, Oxford, and Edinburgh, have also suggested they could introduce an overnight tax too. <\/p>\n

In Europe, places like Venice and Barcelona\u00a0already have tourist taxes in place.<\/p>\n

Barcelona<\/span> tourists have to pay \u20ac4 (\u00a33.49) a night, and Venice has a current tourist tax up to \u20ac5 (\u00a34.37).<\/p>\n

Earlier this year,\u00a0Thailand introduced a tourist tax too\u00a0– here are some\u00a0other holiday hotspots\u00a0where Brits have to pay a tourist tax.<\/p>\n
