New tax for tourists in Rome

The Municipality of Rome plans to introduce a new tax for tourist to recapitalize the empty boxes of the city. Not only it will impinge on all tourists who wish to visit the beauties of the capital, but also about who goes to Rome for business, because you will pay in all Rome hotels or in any other structure for accommodation of tourists.

The tourist who arrives in Rome to spend from one to three nights will pay a contribution: a dollar a day for camp, cottage, b&b, one star hotel, 2 euros for apartments, residences and  3 star hotels. You will pay 3 euros in 4 star hotel and 5 luxury category. The figures will be multiplied by the days of stay, maximum 3. According to the Mayor of Rome, Gianni Alemanno, the tax would bring a revenue of 79,175,413 euros. The mayor said that in a few days will begin to discuss with the social partners involved in tourism in Rome without which nothing will be imposed. On the other hand, the mayor thinks of alternative proposals to the contribution of living, not to impose a new heavy tax tourists to visit and stay in one of the most beautiful cities in the world.
