Debate

Tourism Levy

Contribution

My Lords, the tourist levy initiative is not just about seaside towns, important though those are. Manchester has introduced a voluntary charge; others are following. Are the Government at least looking at the recommendations of the Cultural Policy Unit’s report on this levy, which argues that it could provide an additional but potentially significant regional funding stream for arts and culture, but that to maximise impact and revenues, it would need to be legislated for?
