Primul oraș din Scoția care introduce o taxă de turism. Cât vor plăti vizitatorii

Starting July 24, tourists in Edinburgh will pay a 5% tourism tax on overnight accommodations. This initiative aims to generate up to £50 million annually for city improvements. The tax applies to various lodging types and is limited to five consecutive nights. Local officials believe this contribution will enhance public services and manage tourism's impact. Initial investment programs totaling over £90 million have been approved, focusing on urban infrastructure, culture, and visitor management. Key projects include funding for events and increased public safety measures.
