Rome will tax tourists
4 December 2010Rome plans to go ahead with an accommodation tax on January 1 next year, it was confirmed this week.
The city council said the ‘Contributo di Soggiorno’ would be introduced despite concerns from the European Tour Operators Association (ETOA) about how the money would be collected.
The tax will be €3 per night for guests at four and five star hotels and €2 per night for guests staying in all other accommodation. Children under 2 and youth hostels are the only exemptions from the tax.
