What the new overnight stay levy means for the region
The overnight visitor levy is coming, but what should it actually look like? This panel brings together voices from across the sector to unpack what a visitor levy is trying to achieve, who it affects, and how it could be designed to work for everyone.
Panellists will explore the strategic and business impact of a levy, from destination investment and sustainable tourism to international competitiveness and the administrative burden on operators. Then turning to the practical questions of delivery: local vs national approach, flat fee vs percentage and how revenues should be allocated and governed.
