Travel costs a pretty penny–one that is very worth it in our opinions–but, if you love traveling internationally, get ready to pay up because countries across the world are implementing new, or increasing current, tourist taxes, and there doesn’t seem to be an end in sight.
While the increase in tourism can be beneficial for the local economy, overtourism has become a major issue leading to overloaded infrastructure, the alienation of local residents, environmental damages, and more. To curb the phenomenon and help make the tourism industry more sustainable, many cities across the globe have opted for a monetary solution through a tourist tax. Amsterdam, Barcelona, and Venice are among the most popular destinations on this list, while spots like Como, Italy have yet to enforce a tourist tax but have announced one is in the works.
