Tourist Taxes for School Groups
In many of our destinations, local or national authorities apply a tourist tax that must be paid directly to your accommodation on arrival. These charges can go by different names – including sustainability taxes – and the way they’re used varies. In some areas, the funds support local services and facilities for visitors, while in others they contribute to general government revenue.
The amount you’ll pay is usually based on the official rating of your accommodation rather than Equity’s own grading. Taxes may be charged per person or per room, and either per night or per stay. Some destinations limit the number of nights the tax applies to, and some exempt children.
Please refer to the information below for the latest details on any tourist taxes in your chosen destination. Our quotes will always indicate whether tourist taxes are included or payable locally. This information was last updated on 24th March 2026, and all taxes are subject to change without notice.
