IBIZA HOLIDAY TAX BEGINS THIS SUMMER
All three Balearic Islands and Malta will be hit...
The government of the Balearic Islands has announced that tourists will have to pay a ‘Sustainable Tourist Tax’ upon arrival at their accommodation from Friday 1st July.
The eco-tax, which is for those aged 14 and over and has been introduced to help protect the islands’ resources, will affect all three of the Balearics; Ibiza, Majorca and Menorca.
It will be calculated on the type of accommodation booked, with those staying at a luxury hotel to be charged €2 per night, dropping to €.050 per night for hostels.
Malta will also be affected by a new tax, with over-18s visiting the Mediterranean island expected to pay €.050 per night from June.
