💰 Assoturismo Confesercenti criticizes the proposed 30% increase in Italy's lodging tax, revealed by La Repubblica. This change, part of the new budget law, could cost tourists an additional €300 million, raising total revenue beyond €1 billion. The group argues that the measure, ineffective for tourism infrastructure and quality, could stifle domestic demand and contradict the tax’s original purpose of funding tourism improvements. Vittorio Messina emphasizes the need for transparency and targeted reinvestment.
