Pictou debates a 3% tourism levy, balancing growth, budgets, and small business concerns.
Pictou is considering a proposed three percent tourism marketing levy on accommodations, backed by Destination Eastern & Northumberland Shores but facing pushback from local innkeepers.
Mayor Jim Ryan plans to host a meeting between DEANS and small operators to discuss the levy’s potential impacts ahead of a council decision.
The town ended its 2024–2025 fiscal year with a surplus, which will boost reserves, following positive audit results from MNP.
Meanwhile, council approved minor administrative spending and updated a development agreement on Beeches Road.
These actions reflect ongoing efforts to balance tourism growth, fiscal responsibility, and local business concerns.
