A significant majority of tourists from Germany and the United Kingdom who visited the Canary Islands in 2024 would be willing to pay a daily tourist tax during their stay, according to the Micromarket study published by the Canary Islands Institute of Statistics (ISTAC).<\/p>

In Germany, 66% of tourists<\/strong> expressed willingness to pay such a fee, with particularly high acceptance among visitors from Rhineland-Palatinate (72%)<\/strong> and Brandenburg (70%)<\/strong>. The most common reason for accepting the tax was to improve and protect the environment<\/strong>, followed by supporting general government purposes and enhancing the quality of life in the Canary Islands.<\/p>

Furthermore, 90.4% of German tourists who were willing to pay<\/strong> said they would accept a tax ranging from 1 to 3 euros per day<\/strong>. The highest acceptance rate was found among tourists from Schleswig-Holstein<\/strong>, with an impressive 95%<\/strong>.<\/p>

However, 20.2% of German tourists<\/strong> said they would exclude a destination from their travel plans if it imposed a tourist tax. Tourists from Saxony-Anhalt<\/strong> were the most likely to do so (30.3%<\/strong>), while those from Brandenburg<\/strong> were the least likely (14.2%<\/strong>).<\/p>

As for British tourists, 49.4%<\/strong> said they would be willing to pay a tourist tax. Scotland<\/strong> led the way, with 54%<\/strong> of its tourists open to the idea. In terms of amount, 86% of British tourists<\/strong> said they would be comfortable paying between 1 and 3 euros per day<\/strong>, with the highest acceptance coming from tourists from Yorkshire and the Humber<\/strong> and the West Midlands<\/strong>, both at nearly 90%<\/strong>.<\/p>

On the other hand, 25.8% of British tourists<\/strong> would exclude a destination due to the existence of a tourist tax. The East Midlands<\/strong> region showed the highest reluctance (30.3%<\/strong>), while Wales<\/strong> and Scotland<\/strong> were the least likely to reject a destination for this reason, both just over 21%<\/strong>.<\/p>
