Tourism tax is a levy imposed by local or regional governments on visitors who travel to a destination, typically added to the cost of accommodation or services. The primary purpose of the tourism tax is to generate revenue that can be used to support local infrastructure, promote tourism-related activities, and maintain public services that benefit both residents and tourists. This tax can vary in percentage based on the location and type of accommodation, and it may apply to hotels, vacation rentals, and other forms of lodging. The collected funds are often allocated to tourism development, conservation of attractions, and enhancement of visitor experiences.
