The Welsh government is set to propose a tourism tax that would allow local councils to impose a small charge on overnight accommodation bills. This initiative aims to generate funds for enhancing local tourism infrastructure and services, such as maintaining public spaces. The plan has been met with criticism from political opponents who believe it might deter visitors. However, there is support among some citizens for the concept of a visitor levy to aid local services.
