    The tax would be used to fund maintenance and repair related to tourism use such as trails, public attractions, etc…

    Furthermore its an optional tax for cities with high tourism to decide to implement. The tax yield wouldn’t leave the local community.

    There’s not a single mention of law enforcement.

      Also it’s only a tax on overnight stays. Which some small towns and rural counties overwhelmed by day-travelers are not happy about.
