Wales plans to introduce a tourist tax in 2027 to support local communities and the environment.

Wales plans to introduce a tourist tax in 2027, charging 75p for campsites and hostels, and £1.25 for other accommodations, to support local communities and the environment. While England's government has no such plans, some cities use Business Improvement Districts to raise funds. A report suggests the levy could raise £33m annually if adopted across Wales, funding tourism and community improvements. Similar taxes in Scotland and New Zealand aim to address resource strain and conservation challenges.
