How would you feel about a tourist tax in London? 🇬🇧   The mayor’s office appeared to welcome the proposed changes but said they would not comment on “speculation” and would wait before making any concrete preparations.   In 2024, London saw 89 million overnight stays.    The Centre for Cities suggests that, if implemented effectively, a tourist levy would boost both economic growth and improve infrastructure and the business environment in London.   However, not everyone is convinced it is a good idea. Kate Nicholls, chair of UK Hospitality, the trade body for the hospitality industry, called the idea “shocking”.   While the Chancellor Rachel Reeves is widely expected to announce the move in the coming months, nothing has yet been formalised.
