The plans would need approval by the Senedd but the Welsh Conservatives have compared plans to introduce a levy to 'taking a sledgehammer to crack a nut'.
A consultation received over 1,000 responses and the government says there was support across most local authorities and other organisations.
Responses also came from tourism industry representatives and many disagreed with the principle of introducing a fee.The Welsh government's consumer research found that 58% of respondents thought tourists should pay towards the upkeep and investment in their local area.'Sledgehammer to crack a nut' Finance and local government minister Rebecca Evans said:"We understand some businesses have reservations about a visitor levy and I am grateful to all those who took the time to respond to our consultation.
"These responses will be carefully considered as we continue to develop our specific plans for a levy. "Many destinations around the world use visitor levies to empower and enhance their local areas for the benefit of visitors and locals alike - I am confident this will be the case here in Wales."
