Earlier this week, regional authorities in the Valencian Community unveiled a decisive move: the repeal of a long-standing tourist tax. The measure, which clears the way for implementation, is set to take effect on Wednesday, November 15, and has garnered broad support from the tourism sector across the region. The decision marks a significant shift in the local economic policy landscape and is being seen as a stimulus for travel, hospitality, and related businesses that have long sought to boost competitiveness in a crowded market.

The tax had previously been approved by the Botany Council, a coalition consisting of PSPV-Compromís-Unides Podem, but its enforcement had been postponed due to a moratorium. The pause had delayed the entry into force last December, with both national and international officials suggesting the obstacle limited the sector’s ability to compete. Community residents and business leaders alike argued that the absence of the tax’s implementation was hindering competitiveness, particularly in the face of neighboring regions and evolving tourism dynamics. The preservation of the moratorium until today had drawn attention from those who monitor regional economic trends closely. (Source: INFORMATION)
In a public briefing at the Palau de la Generalitat, President Carlos Mazón welcomed the decision to repeal the tax. He emphasized a strong sense of unity and collaboration between the Valencian public and private sectors on this issue, underscoring the shared interest in sustaining a robust tourism network. The president characterized past barriers as walls and fences erected by opponents, framing the repeal as a step toward greater mobility and opportunity for travelers and local businesses alike. The remarks reflected a broader message about regional resilience and coordinated action to support the tourism industry. (Source: INFORMATION)
