No To Tourism Tax

15th October, 2026

The Labour Government is planning to introduce a "tourism levy" which is a tourism tax. There will be no upper limit on how much that tax can be. The hospitality sector has been hit by attack after attack from the politicians.

Here's what means for us all

• An extra percentage will be added to your bill just so that you can stay in accommodation in your own country.
• Businesses will have to administer the system - we will be unpaid tax collectors for the Government.
• In many poorer areas businesses won't actually be able to increase their charges and will go bust - less accommodation will mean ultimatelky prices will be forced up.
• Paying more for accommodation means there is less to spend in shops, attractions, bars, cafes and restaurants - our resorts will become devastated ghosts of their former selves.
• About 30,000 more jobs will be lost in hospitality.
