nigel b, tourist tax has always been there, its chargeable per person per night - €8.50 sounds like a weeks worth!

Switzerland has it as well and has done for as long as I can remember, (over 30 years) usually it is itemised on your hotel bill, typically x amount for room and breakfast, y amount for dinner and z amount for tourist tax on a day by day basis

It's been around for years. It's a tax levied on the property owner based on the number of guests they have. There seems to be a different local rate depending on the town you stay in. Whether you have to pay something depends on the property owner - some property owners charge you for it and others do not. It's just something to factor into the pricing of your holiday, like cleaning, laundry.

When visiting ST Anton last year I got a nasty little shock. I had to divi up 65 euros for my family to enjoy our visit to the town. This is on top of very expensive lift passes and THE most expensive ski&board hire I have ever experienced....conclusion: - TOTAL RIP OFF!
I won't be returning.
Well not with the family.....

Usually included in the price of your hotel room. I've certainly never had to pay it separately.

nigel b, it has always been there but a lot of hotel rooms quote a price inclusive of it for ease really, but it is always referred to some where in the small print.

Nadenoodlee, not exactly kids, all 3 of them are at uni which led to ever more burdening expense with multiple beer tokens!
