Payment
The tax is usually not included in the package holiday price and is paid directly at the accommodation, often at check-out. Holiday flats and fincas also charge it.
What is the tax used for?
The revenue goes into a fund for sustainable tourism. It finances, among other things, environmental and nature conservation projects, the restoration of cultural heritage, water infrastructure and measures to relieve particularly heavily visited areas.
