It's tricky to come up with anything NOT taxed. But doubtless the political boffins will find something.

It's quite common in other places.

It will at least contribute towards paying for the public toilets, which tourists use and which are kept clean

We pay it often when abroad.

I think it’s a good idea. We have a lot of tourists, and many of them have no respect for the environment, they dump their litter everywhere, so if the tax is to be used to benefit the local area, that’s a win.

I think that in areas with a high tourist footfall, a tax is very sensible.

Tourist come with expense which is usually picked up by the local people. As a tourist, paying for your own mess is a good idea.

Of course hoteliers will moan, but that’s life I am afraid.
