Liverpool, a port city and metropolitan borough in Merseyside in northwest England, situated on the eastern side of the Mersey Estuary near the Irish Sea, a vibrant city with a rich history, home to the UK's second highest number of art galleries, national museums, listed buildings, and parks and open spaces, boasting a strong musical heritage, particularly with linked to the iconic Beatles, is introducing a £2.0 per night "City Visitor Charge", a new tourist tax to support tourism development.
The British city starting form 1st June 2025 will apply this tax for overnight stays in hotels, after this levy was voted on by hotel owners and managed by accommodation BID with the aim to generate revenue for the city's visitor economy, primarily through a subvention fund.
This measure has been approved after the city's 83 hotels will mean the generation of £9.2 million, about €10.78 million in two years, of which £6.7 million will be used to support the city's tourism economy through a grant fund.
The £2.0 per nighr charge will be collected by hotels and services accommodation providers when guests check in or out.
The money raised will be used to improve infrastructure, attract major events, and boost tourism in Liverpool, an initiative follows Manchester's example, which introduced a similary voluntary charge in 2023.
