Specialist Reports Special Interest Holidays Green Tourism Solutions? One way in which tourism destinations can act green is to level a tourist tax to pay for potential damage to the environment or local infrastructure caused by visitors. The Balearic islands for example are introducing a charge of around 53p per day for an average hotel room, despite yells of protest from some tour operators.
