Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, with reference to UK Hospitality's analysis: Government set to announce unlimited taxation of family holidays, published in September 2026, what assessment she has made of the potential impact of the introduction of an overnight visitor levy on GDP.

Visitor levies are common in Europe and the rest of the world. Mayors and local leaders who best understand their regions will decide whether to introduce a levy. Introducing a visitor levy, if they think this is the right decision for their area, allows them to tailor investment towards growing the local economy and making their areas better for people to visit and enjoy. The impact of any local levy will depend on local circumstances and decisions.
