The Welsh government are looking to copy the Balearics and introduce a tax on all visiting holidaymakers. The proposal is still very much in the planning stages but already the tax has caused a similar outcry to when the Balearic government introduced their surcharge.
Wales aiming to copy Balearics with similar tourist tax
The money will be spent on improving resorts (sounds familiar?)

You would think Mallorca is the only place in the world that has this type of tax the way the MDB goes on about it. Anyone that travels around Europe knows that most major cities have something similar now, usually called a city tax. And judging by the number of tourists in Mallorca now it hasn't put off anyone from coming. Time for the greedy hotels and right wingers to stop whining about it.
