Tourism tax needs to be more flexible in Wales, warns expert
Anglesey, Conwy and Gwynedd councils have all put a pause on introducing the nightly tourist tax.
Last week, Anglesey council rejected introducing the visitor levy for now, over concerns for its tourism industry, while Gwynedd and Conwy councils both postponed making any decision on the nightly fee.
It is down to local authorities to decide whether they want to introduce the Welsh government legislation - meaning from 2027 a fixed price can be charged per person, per night - and applies to both adults and children.
The Welsh government said the legislation allowed for decisions to be taken at a local level, with councils able to introduce the levy "to support investment in tourism services and facilities".
She said she was "disappointed" that councils appeared to be "scared of a noisy, selfish minority" opposing the fee, and described the 75p per night levy for people camping as "nothing" compared to the rubbish that some visitors left behind at the site.
