Tourists in Mogán on the southwest coast of Gran Canaria will have to open their wallets even more from next year, after the municipality decided to introduce a tourist tax.

Everyone staying in hotels or other facilities there must then pay 0.15 euros, equivalent to less than two kronor, per night.

In Mogán, which according to the Norwegian news site Canariajournalen is the first municipality to introduce such a tax, there are several popular travel destinations for Scandinavians, among others.

However, several have opposed the tax, writes Canariajournalen, because the costs of administering the fee are estimated to exceed the expected revenues.
