CSU demands tourism levy: More money for Bayreuth's infrastructure!

Bayreuth, Deutschland - The city of Bayreuth is facing a nerve -wracking decision! The CSU parliamentary group, led by Christian Wedlich and Mirko Matros, has got a sensational proposal rolling: the introduction of a tourism tax. This drastic measure is intended to stop the incessantly increasing costs in the city, which strongly burden the citizens and local associations. The city councils are alerted and seriously deal with this challenge!

tourism levy in sight!

The planned tax is aimed directly at foreign hotel guests, who would have to pay an additional surcharge for their overnight stays. What is this drastic measure? The income should flow into the tourist infrastructure of Bayreuth, a clever move to strengthen the city! The CSU sees a golden way here to not only fill up your cash registers, but also to increase the attractiveness of Bayreuth.

record numbers as evidence

The numbers speak volumes! In 2023, Bayreuth already recorded an incredible 512,526 overnight stays - a clear sign for the ever increasing popularity as a tourist goal! August 2024 was the highlight, with astonishing 62,855 nights that broke a new record. The applicants are convinced that these statistics provide a perfect reason to introduce the tourism tax and thus further promote the city.

Now it remains to be seen what the city administration decides! A careful exam is scheduled to illuminate all aspects of this measure. A report will soon be expected in the responsible committee, which could determine the fate of this new tax. Bayreuth, the ball is located in the field of the city administration!
