Barcelona's Mayor plans to increase tourist tax for short-stay cruise passengers to discourage public space usage.
Barcelona's Mayor, Jaume Collboni, announced plans to increase the tourist tax for cruise passengers who visit the city for less than 12 hours. The current tax for stopover cruise passengers is €7 ($7.61) per day, but Collboni did not reveal the extent of the proposed increase. He stated that the tax would be raised to discourage the intensive use of public spaces by cruise passengers without providing any benefits to the city. The proposal will require agreement from the Catalan regional government.
