Key Observations from the Bill
Key Questions
Industry Concerns
Additional Considerations
Call to Action While the levy might be manageable in urban areas like Cardiff or Swansea with large hotels and events, it poses a significant threat to fragile rural economies like ours in Mid Wales. We will be urging Senedd members—both immediate and regional representatives—to carefully consider the immediate or potentially generational impact of this decision. This bill feels rushed and lacks the foresight necessary to address the unique challenges of rural areas. Wales' tourism sector, already under pressure, needs support, not additional burdens. ....but we need your help! Please ensure that you complete the official consultation document by the 10th January (link here) to make your voice heard from an individual business perspective. Please also provide us with your feedback. Zoe will be compiling written evidence for the finance committee by the middle of January and will be presenting oral evidence to the committee in February.
