Italian city and town councils
will pocket around 429 millions euros in tourist taxes (imposta
di soggiorno) on visitors in 2015, according to a report by
hoteliers' association Federalberghi which ANSA has seen in
advance. The report said that 735 Italian councils apply taxes
on visitors who stay overnight, via a levy on hotel bills, or on
people as they arrive. Rome, Milan, Venice and Florence generate
238 million euros from tourist taxes, 55% of the total.
