Thank you for contacting me about a 'Tourist Tax'.
Tourism and travel make a valuable contribution to the UK economy. It is estimated that travel and tourism contributed £127.5 billion directly and indirectly to the UK economy in 2018, supporting 3.9 million jobs across the country.
I am not aware of any plans to introduce a tourism tax. I understand that the Government keeps all taxes under review and careful consideration will be given to any proposed amendments to the tax regime. I will be sure to pass on your suggestion to the relevant minister.
Thank you again for taking the time to contact me.
