Travelers may face yet another 'tourist tax' when visiting certain cities

Officials are planning to impose a tax on visitors this coming summer, charging nearly $3 (2 pounds) per night per person for overnight stays, according to Liverpool Business News.

The potential tax comes as locals struggle to keep up with the growing number of tourists to the area.

"The proposal would see the charge, which would be administered by hotels, going directly into the visitor economy and helping to support its growth and development," said a Liverpool's Accommodation Business Improvement District (BID) press release. 

"It would also go toward improving the public realm, including street cleaning."

Liverpool BID predicts the levy would contribute nearly $8 million to the city over the next two years.

Bill Addy, CEO of Liverpool BID Company, said in a release the group has been in close contact with the local hospitality business on the tax proposal.

Addy also said, "The method we are proposing reflects similar models across European cities, which work successfully and, if replicated in Liverpool, will translate overnight stays into major investment in attracting world-leading and world-beating events to the city." 

And the Maldives in South Asia, known for its clear waters and luxury resorts, has raised a flight tax aimed at tourists leaving the islands.
