## Resource

Bristol and Bath are weighing a new tourist tax on overnight stays, aiming to fund public spaces and infrastructure—think pavements, toilets, and the vibe that draws millions of visitors each year. Inspired by Edinburgh’s model, local leaders hope revenue will boost transport and amenities, benefiting both tourists and residents. But hospitality groups warn it could hurt competitiveness if not handled right—demanding fairness, transparency, and direct reinvestment into the tourism economy. Officials vow to collaborate closely with businesses to strike a balance: making visitors contribute without driving them away. Details are still being shaped, but the core idea is clear—those who enjoy the city should help keep it great. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
