Tourists paying their way

Is it true! Does Cornwall really have 4 million tourists every year? Good for the tourist industry but what about add-on costs like maintaining the infrastructure and protecting the fragile beauty of this part of the world.

Could Cornwall Council not pencil in the words “Tourist Tax” near the top of their next agenda. Much needed revenue could be obtained this way. A £2 or £3 level per adult per night collected by hotels etc would add very little to the cost of an average family holiday.

It would be hard work putting the Tourist Tax case to Government but it is possible other tourist “hot spots” ie The Lake District could join forces with Cornwall.

No one likes taxes but necessary funding has to come from somewhere.
