edinburgh, scotland - Edinburgh becomes the first UK city to implement a tourist tax on overnight stays, aiming to generate funds for local amenities.

Edinburgh Introduces Tourist Tax

The Scottish city of Edinburgh will levy a 5% charge per night on the total booking amount from July next year, as reported by The Guardian. The revenue will be allocated towards local housing, parks, cultural events, and tourist attractions, expecting to generate around £50 million annually.

The tax applies to all types of accommodations, from hotels to apartments and guesthouses. After five booked nights, the tax is waived. Edinburgh attracts over two million visitors annually.

Compared to Amsterdam, the Scottish tax is relatively low, with Amsterdam charging 12.5% per overnight stay. Venice and Barcelona are also famous for their substantial tourist taxes to manage mass tourism.
