Ţările vizitate de români care măresc taxele turistice. Guvernele fac rost de bani fără să supere votanţii

Many countries are increasing tourist taxes to boost their budgets without upsetting voters. This strategy helps manage tourist flows and fund local needs. France and Italy each collect over a billion euros annually from these taxes. In Barcelona, a new high tax of 12 euros per night is used for public services. Venice has raised its city tax significantly to control tourist numbers. However, local residents often express dissatisfaction with the impact of tourism on living costs and public services. The OECD reports that countries like New Zealand and Japan have also raised tourist taxes recently. While these taxes can benefit budgets, the hospitality industry fears they may deter visitors.
