Episode Description from the Publisher

Tourist hotspots in Wales are about to be clobbered by the Welsh government's introduction of a holiday tax which will be levied against those wishing to stay overnight in a town or village. The TPA has been raising awareness of this pernicious tax in places like Conwy and Anglesey. Outside of Wales, the Labour government under Andy Burnham is introducing legislation that will enable regional mayors to levy a similar tax on overnight visitors to their towns and cities.    Podcast host Duncan Barkes is joined by the TPA's Benjamin Elks and Jonathan Eida to discuss the impact of such taxes and the devastating consequences it will have on UK tourism.
