The Oberland tourism expert Franz Staggl, chairman of the hotel sector at the Chamber of Commerce, warns in an interview with the “Tiroler Krone” against hasty steps. Reduction yes, but in moderation and purposeful!
The Tyrolean tourist tax has caused heated debate in recent weeks. The tax has been levied in Tyrol since 1927 by all companies, regardless of whether they derive direct or indirect economic benefit from tourism. The mandatory contribution goes to the respective tourist association. In an interview with the “Krone”, Franz Staggl, spokesman for the hotel sector in the state of Tyrol, warns against abolishing it: “You must not forget that the tax also fully benefits the local population.”
