Barcelona will raise the tourist tax for cruise passengers visiting the city for less than 12 hours, the mayor says. Jaume Collboni said the current tourist tax for stopover cruise passengers was seven euros per day. He did not say by how much the tax would be increased. “We are going to propose..substantially increasing the tax for stopover cruise passengers,” he told El Pais newspaper in an interview published on Sunday.

” Collboni said tourists, not local tax payers, should pay for local projects like air-conditioning schools. The proposal will have to be agreed with the Catalan regional government, Collboni said. In recent weeks, anti-tourism activists have staged protests in popular holiday destinations across Spain, such as Palma de Mallorca, Malaga and the Canary Islands, saying visitors drive up housing costs and lead to residents being unable to afford to live in city centres.
