I support the tax because it is in many cities and countries in the world, so why having less money for doing things for the environment, buses that pollute less, cycle lanes, hospitals, doctors and nurses, care homes, schools, roads, you name it? In the end, it's money for investing in what the community needs.
Yes I would like to know what exactly it gets spent on.
The tourist tax might be more palatable to visitors if there was some visible improvements to the holiday environment, such as the removal of all graffiti as it appears, cleaner streets with regular weeding and timely maintenance of paths and highways.
