Not a country for tourist taxes

A glance at our immediate surroundings reveals that only the Balearic Islands certainly have a percentage of what we can define as “touristy” because it is a purely touristic destination that does.

Another point with such a rate that corresponds to the pattern of visitor taxes for major cities and/or ‘cultural’ macro destinations in Spain is Barcelona. A destination that can be associated with a tax with other states of the European Union: Rome, Florence, Milan, Venice, Paris, Amsterdam, Brussels, Vienna, Lisbon, Berlin, Malta, Prague or Budapest. A look at the rest of the world’s tourist rates is no different from this approach.

A look at Google will allow you to confirm that very few mass tourism regions have such a rate, with the exception of the Balearic Islands. The Balearic Islands are a special exception, since its proportion with a distinctly “ecological” character is well received by its main market, Germany, where the environmental pretext allows it to open its portfolio without any problems. But the Germans are not the British, which is our main market.

I mentioned earlier in this news bulletin that there is a section of our country who is skeptical of the tourism sector. Here, Compromise is the clearest example, as is United We Can at the national level.

The insistence of both entities to set this ratio is one of the points of friction that the coalition governments in our community have always faced, which have ruled us in the last two chambers. PSPV had always resisted until a few months ago, when it had to accept a decaffeinated version of the ratio to please its members. As Autonomous Tourism Minister Francesc Colomer points out, it didn’t make sense then, and now it makes even less sense with hyperinflation.

Now while PSPV is considering whether to support this deal in the next few days’ vote at the Cortes, and that its decision could threaten to tear Botànic apart, we must remember common sense. they were talking about at the beginning. You can’t hurt the person who pulled you out of the pit so needlessly and unnecessarily. And it is tourism that can get us out of a crisis that is barely showing its teeth. This is not a country for tourist taxes at the moment.

And one more thing:

Evictions are a tragic dysfunction of our social system, proof that we were a country back then that passed laws that it could not abide by. Also in Alicante we have the dubious honor of being the Spanish province with the highest incidence of such forced evictions. In our partner’s image Rafa Arjones There is the phrase “too much of everything” that accompanies this text, and also in the unseen and recommended ones, if you allow it. Innocent girls who are too young to go through this traumatic and crazy trance (what dimension does the word take in these cases)a father and mother punished by life too many cops to bear the humiliation again (of course, on a day that is dark for them too, as they have to perform such an indecent duty)too much judicial protection of the rights of some and too little of the rights of others. If there was access to housing at a fair price, there would be no people occupying the empty houses. Houses should not be empty. There is indeed a path of financial creativity with a great history of justice.

Here are our highlights:
