Holidaymakers in Wales are set to benefit from a new Bill to support the development of tourism in Wales and drive up higher quality visitor accommodation.

More than £27bn to support public services has been set out by the Welsh Government.

Changes are on the way to help people who are struggling with missed council tax payments. It’ll give local authorities more time to engage with people to prevent debt escalating quickly. 

The Visitor Levy Bill has received Royal Assent from His Majesty The King.

People are being asked how they think Wales should manage changes to tax laws in the future.

New proposals have been suggested to adjust the way tax rules for self-catering holiday let owners are applied.

32% of people said they volunteered, impacting thousands of lives in their communities.

The Senedd has today voted to give councils the choice to introduce a small visitor levy on overnight stays to raise and reinvest vital funding into local tourism.

Finance Secretary Mark Drakeford has today set out the Welsh Government’s approach to the 2026-27 Budget – the last before the Senedd election.

A visitor levy will help support a thriving, sustainable tourism industry in Wales by giving councils the choice to introduce a small additional charge on overnight stays in their area which would be re-invested in tourism.

Communities across Wales will benefit from a significant uplift in funding after today's UK Government Spending Review.
