Balance the Books : Tourist Tax

Introduce a tourist bedroom tax to increase revenues for Scottish councils.

Why is this important?

Every major city both in Europe and the rest of the world have a tax added to the cost of hotel bedrooms. This does not need to be a huge amount £1 per night per room would have raised approx £28 million pounds just charging the tax in our major cities. We provide free museums, free parks and botanical gardens ( In Edinburgh), free art galleries. This extra money would help clean our streets (making it more appealing for tourists) and take some pressure off other services
