Just like Amsterdam (and others), #Edinburgh will soon have a tourist tax. This is great news — revenue for infrastructure and housing ✨ https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cz0l9xp5ldzo?utm_source=flipboard&utm_medium=activitypub
“some businesses are concerned that it will put visitors off visiting the city”

Anyway, the tax should help locals appreciate visitors more since they’ll be contributing to the city. It’s also nice to share such a beautiful place with those seeing it for the first time.
