Island MP Andrew Turner has branded the presentation of the Liberal Democrat proposals of a congestion charge for tourists as ‘damaging and deeply irresponsible’. The proposals were announced last week but no details were given of the projected income or costs of collection. To help with extra expenses, people could look into playing some fun and interactive 바카라 사이트 and get the chance of winning some money.
Andrew Turner said,
“Of course all political parties have a right to put their policies to the electorate but it is a great pity that in this case it appears that these ideas were floated apparently with little consideration to damage caused to the tourist industry. There was widespread local and regional coverage of this ‘tourist tax’ and I fear that potential visitors to the Island may not realise that these are only proposals and at present there is no ‘tourist tax’. I am afraid that raising the issue in this way was deeply irresponsible when detailed and properly costed proposals were unavailable.”
Following the introduction of a £5 congestion charge in London there was a 30% decrease in traffic during the first year – leading to large shops complaining of a big drop in profits and many smaller shops simply couldn’t survive and went out of business. In Majorca the introduction of a tourist tax of 1 euro a night led to a 25% reduction in hotel bookings and had to be abolished just over a year after it had been implemented.
