The city authorities of Tallinn, the capital of Estonia, are awaiting the government’s approval to introduce a tourist tax in the city. This was announced by Tallinn’s Deputy Mayor Margot Roose, as reported by ERR.
According to Roose, the tourist tax would help cover additional expenses and improve the infrastructure for accommodating tourists. She mentioned that the tax could be set at €1-3 per tourist, although the authorities have not yet conducted detailed calculations.
Roose believes that such a tax would not reduce tourists’ interest in visiting Tallinn. “Experience from other cities also shows that if someone wants to visit, they won’t cancel their trip because of this,” she said.
Recently, it was reported that Pompeii is introducing a limit on the number of visitors. Additionally, the authorities of Venice, Italy, have extended the paid entry into the city until next year.
