The UK has introduced a new nightly tourist tax that applies to hotels, guesthouses, campsites, and short-term rentals like Airbnb. Set around £1–£2 per person, the fee can significantly raise costs for families and long stays, especially on multi-city trips. Cities may set their own rates—Edinburgh uses a percentage system, while Wales charges a flat fee. The levy funds infrastructure, public services, and sustainable tourism, making advance budgeting essential for travelers.
