A resort town in the Canary Islands is set to be the first to launch a so-called ‘tourist tax’, according to reports. Mogan is located in the southern part of Gran Canaria and is the second largest tourist municipality on the island.
But the local council says it could launch a version of a tourist tax, Canarian Weekly reports. It will see tourists being charged for public services, the revenue of which will fund “the maintenance and improvement of tourist areas”, according to Mayor Oanlia Bueno.It means the tax would be different to a traditional ‘tourist tax’ which applies to overnight stays. That type of tax would come under the jurisdiction of the Canary Islands Government.
