Barcelona and other Catalan areas could be doubling their tourist taxes following the approval of Jaume Collboni, the mayor of Barcelona, as this will fund infrastructure and improve the tourism experience.
Barcelona and other Catalan areas may double tourist taxes to £12.39 per night, potentially exceeding Paris's and Rome's rates. The tax increase, approved by the Catalan government following protests against mass tourism, aims to fund infrastructure and improve the tourism experience, impacting British holidaymakers and the local economy. Other destinations that could see a tourist tax increase are Salou, Tarragona, Lloret de Mar, Sitges, and parts of the Costa Brava.
