It’s official! This widely visited European city<\/strong> has just increased their tourist tax for 2020<\/strong>. Furthermore, it has become the country with the highest tourist tax in Europe. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amsterdam, the Netherlands’ capital <\/strong>has announced that they will be adding 3 additional euros per night<\/strong> for visiting tourists.<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is a Tourist Tax?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Major cities in the world have implemented a tourist tax. <\/strong>This extra fee is established for visiting tourists, which mainly targets accommodation.<\/strong> The government establishes this fee <\/strong>per night, and it changes depending on the country, city, and region<\/strong>. This tax for tourists ranges between 3-5 euros per night and per traveller<\/strong>. In addition to the price of the accommodation, tourists are forced to pay a little extra for every overnight stay.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amsterdam To Have The Highest Tourist Tax in Europe<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Dutch council <\/strong>announced that starting 2020, Amsterdam will charge 3 extra euros to tourists staying in the capital<\/strong>. This means that you will have to pay the price of the accommodation, plus 7 per cent normal tourist tax, plus 3 additional euros for every night<\/strong> that you will be staying in. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the rise of worldwide upsetting reactions<\/strong> regarding this new law, a spokesman of the Amsterdam Council<\/a> denied that they want to discourage visitors.<\/strong> They claimed that ”this raise is to make visitors contribute in keeping the city safe and clean.<\/strong>” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Will It Affect Tourism Rates?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

People are already complaining about this increased tax. In fact, due to the fact that it will be the highest in Amsterdam<\/strong>, they are looking for alternative destinations in Europe<\/strong>. CNN<\/a> reported that one night in a 2-stars hotel in Amsterdam,<\/strong> will have a higher tourist tax than a 5-stars hotel in the center of Paris. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amsterdam has converted to an over-crowded city,<\/strong> as tourism reached its peak in the past years. The city has been plagued by overtourism, <\/strong>with 18 million annual visitors descending on its 867,000 residents. Although officials deny that this increased tax is to regulate the number of visitors, <\/strong>it seems that it might actually do exactly that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
