Valencia, which has been described as the “jewel of Spain” by @anuroopabanerjee on TripAdvisor, is a popular holiday destination and welcomes a massive 2.2 million visitors every year.<\/p>\n

The region has several vacationing hotspots including the Costa Blanca which is visited by thousands of Britons every year.<\/p>\n

However, next year, the popular region could impose a tourist tax which will tax travellers staying in all types of accommodation in the region – including Britons.<\/p>\n

The tourist tax could impact popular resorts in the region as well as the City of Valencia itself.<\/p>\n

The tourist tax, which will be called the Valencian Tax on Tourist Stays (IVET), will reportedly come into force in 2024.<\/p>\n

Visitors travelling to Valencia will have to pay between \u20ac0.50 (43p) and \u20ac2 (\u00a31.73) per person each night depending on the type of accommodation, according to Cond\u00e9 Nast Traveller.<\/p>\n

The fee will depend on whether you choose to stay in a high-end hotel or in a rental and will only be charged for a maximum of seven days.<\/p>\n

The tax, which is already implemented in Ibiza, Majorca, Menorca and Formentera, will also charge cruise ship passengers.<\/p>\n

Cruise ship passengers will need to pay \u20ac1.50 (\u00a31.30) each day. However, some disabled individuals and children under 16 will be exempt from the tax.<\/p>\n
