Economic help is overdue for the county, but replicating the approach of Manchester or Venice is no panacea
and the UK’s tax burden at an all-time high, the prospect of an extra levy on your summer holiday is anything but welcome. But that’s what Malcolm Bell, head of, Belgium, Switzerland and Italy have their own versions . Just last week, Venice introduced its controversial entry charge of €5 for day-trippers., which adds a nightly £1 levy for stays in the city centre; Scotland and Wales, as well as several city councils, are considering something similar.
Yet the county receives no additional revenue from the Government to account for the influx: it is residents who foot the bill, in the form of increased council taxes and A tourist tax would be one way of boosting the coffers, but if Cornwall charged a tax, but Devon and the Lake District, say, chose not to, it’s easy to see how that might affect people’s decisions on where to spend their summer break.now costs £42 per adult ; hotel rooms are hard to find for less than £200 in summer; even pitching a tent can easily cost upwards of £40 per person.
Maybe a Cornwall Community Fund would be something visitors would contemplate if they could see their money making a difference, and if the funds were ring-fenced for something with a direct, visible impact, like cleaning up the beaches,or habitat regeneration. Ideally it would be voluntary, or it could be administered via an optional donation added on to card transactions,.
But it may well be, as Mr Bell suggests, that a compulsory levy may be the only viable solution. If so, Cornwall, like Venice, might be about to find out just how much people are willing to stump up for their week in the sun.
