Plans for a tourism tax in Wales have come "at the worst possible time", industry bosses in the region have warned.A public consultation into whether to give councils the power to charge visitors who are staying overnight in the country was launched this week.
How much visitors could be charged has not yet been decided, but finance minister Rebecca Evans said it would be a"small contribution" that would go towards maintaining local amenities such as beaches, pavements, parks, toilets and footpaths. “Anybody who thinks that the tourism sector has returned to normal after the pandemic are very mistaken.
