Responding to news that the Welsh Government is pushing forward with plans for a tourism tax, Peter Fox MS, Shadow Minister for Finance and Local Government, said:
“We’ve been absolutely clear from the start that this policy is the wrong one for Wales.
“A tourism tax will risk jobs at a time when businesses are being clobbered by Labour, it will impose red tape, and it will work against its own aims by encouraging visitors to use more council-maintained attractions and services.
“Our tourism industry should be nurtured by the Welsh Government, not hamstrung by new taxes.”
