New Tourist Tax in Slovenia

Tourist taxes in Slovenia have been increased, after Slovenia’s government adopted a bill aimed at encouraging development of tourism at the national level. 

The bill provides a more systematic financing of promoting Slovenia abroad, and simplifies the performing of certain tourism-related activities and occupations. The municipalities can charge up to 2.5 euro ($2.9) per person per day – the height is defined by each of the municipalities separately. Ljubljana, the capital, has already introduced the new tourist tax of 2.5 €.  In addition, the bill introduces a tourism promotion tax equal to 25% of levied tourist tax, which will be introduced at the beginning of the new year. In the municipalities, which will charge the highest possible tourist tax, one will need to pay € 3.12 for one overnight
