Tourist taxes are levies collected by local municipalities. In some of our destinations, such as New York or the Maldives, you may be required to pay tourist taxes. These taxes are usually calculated per day and per person. The amount varies depending on the city and the hotel category. It is rare that we know the exact amount in advance, as these taxes frequently change.
| Please note: Other taxes may apply depending on the destination.
| Important: Make sure to check the necessary administrative documents for your trip as well.
