UK “Bed Tax” Turned Down by Holidaymakers

Proposals to raise UK hotel and accommodation prices by 10 percent via a new local Government tax have been rejected by the nation.

A survey commissioned by Travelodge reveals 89 percent of UK holidaymakers deem an additional taxation on their UK holidays as unfair.

The Lyons Inquiry, will ask Government to consider plans to tax British consumers on the £6.5 Billion a year they spend on UK hotels, B&B´s, caravan´s, mobile homes and cottages –adding up to £100 to the cost of an average family´s UK break.

The poll also shows that price rises would force holidaymakers to cut short their UK holidays, eat out less or visit less tourist attractions.
