Should we tax tourists who go camping?

The Welsh government has said that people staying in hotels, holiday lets and even campsites could face a new levy.

Should people pay the government to pitch a tent and enjoy the great outdoors? https://t.co/CMXHkgUUMg

@JeremyVineOn5 The price of Wales?This guy is to inherit hundreds of millions of pounds, inheritance tax free, then take millions a year from the taxpayer, plus make millions from the Crown Estate. Time to cut the inequality, tax the rich MORE.

@JeremyVineOn5 Yes, we happily pay tourist tax on the continent, why not here? Then maybe we xould afford to have rubbish cleared from beauty spots more often etc.

@JeremyVineOn5 When the government say is 'it's cutting taxes', what it really means is it's cutting taxes for corporations to shift the burden of that taxation onto the public who will face more and more stealth taxes like this.

@JeremyVineOn5 If this is ‘tourist tax’ then the fee is usually quite low (I pay €2 per stay in Italy), I don’t have a problem with this - providing that the money goes where it’s supposed to go - at putting right damage caused by tourists to the environment.

@MarkC0011

@JeremyVineOn5 makes sense, places have to cover the costs of the impact of tourists. Increased litter, increased policing. And money can help make the area to be even better of a tourist spot.

@JeremyVineOn5 Most people camp because its as much as they can afford not because they want to.
Seems some obviously overpaid overly wealthy people are showing how out of touch they are

@JeremyVineOn5 Makes sense if the money is then used to lessen the impact of tourists in the area, cleaning up litter etc.

Janet Ingman

@JanetIngman2

@JeremyVineOn5 It’s difficult enough to afford holidays right now and many are staying in Britain cause that’s all they can afford especially camping or in a vehicle. People often spend what money they have on holiday anyway so it’s takes away from businesses. I think Wales are making a mistake

@PatJD8

@JeremyVineOn5 Drakeford is desperate, the Labour Gov in Wales has driven the Welsh economy into the ground with its green agenda etc., it scrabbling about looking for anything to stick a tax on,and being austere types who love telling us what we can and can’t do,it’s leisure they’re targeting.

@HelenAshby72

@JeremyVineOn5 Well how to kill the Welsh economy, make camping or self-catering or hotelling in Wales as expensive as holidaying abroad with guaranteed sunshine. Bonkers decision making!

@JeremyVineOn5 The tourist tax in France is 22 cents a day per person. It is collected by the campsite as part of your fee and no one even notices it.

Mik Lote

@Mc_Lote

@JeremyVineOn5 The tourist areas are already making most of their money from tourists and that should more than adequately cover the costs of tidying up after those visitors. If the businesses profiting aren’t contributing enough that’s another issue. This is authorities trying to milk people.

@JeremyVineOn5 Well done - another well-balanced, informed debate NOT: no discussion WHY this tax is being discussed - no respect for Wales or the Welsh people who live in ghost towns all winter, or those with only seasonal, low-paid jobs available. #indyWales

@JeremyVineOn5 I go to Devon every year camping average £280 for 5-days with family members, you get clubhouse and swimming pool. If we done the equivalent in Port eynon ( Gower ) it will be £340 plus tourist tax no clubhouse no swimming pool. I'll stick to going to Devon.

@BulkyBalkan74

@JeremyVineOn5 Tourists bring additional strain on local services eg campers & rubbish etc so they should contribute to the cleanup. The Welsh have to be careful not to overprice it but knowing govts, they will fleece the tourist as much as they can then blame others when tourist income drops

@PaulMor89287936

@JeremyVineOn5 I speak to many businesses in Wales, overnight guests generally spend locally, millions of day visitors don’t, bring their picnics, sit on the beach & go home. Gov is targeting the wrong people.
