What’s The Tourist Tax?
The tourist tax in Italy is a tax that tourists have to pay for each night of their stay. It is collected by the accommodation they’re staying at – from all types of hotels to B&B, hostels, and campsites – over their vacation. The amount varies according to the municipality and the type of accommodation.
Why Is it Necessary?
Although the tourist tax is reinvested by the municipality mainly in heritage preservation, it is also used to implement all local services and facilities in order to keep the city in a good state and easily accessible to tourists. It’s a small amount per person but it helps to make the difference in keeping our cultural heritage maintained.
