Do not introduce an Overnight Visitor Levy in England — 11 signatures. Status: rejected.
The Government should not introduce an Overnight Visitor Levy in England. It would make UK breaks more expensive for residents and increase costs for overseas visitors. This could discourage tourism, reduce visitor spending and put more pressure on hotels and hospitality businesses.
The proposed levy would add another cost to overnight stays at a time when households and hospitality businesses are already facing significant financial pressures. It could make domestic breaks less affordable and England less attractive to overseas visitors, potentially reducing bookings and spending in local businesses. Tourism supports hotels, restaurants, attractions and jobs. We believe the Government should support tourism and hospitality rather than create a new charge on visitors.
