Summary
Edinburgh’s about to launch a Visitor Levy — a bold, long-awaited move that shifts tourism costs from locals to tourists, funding better policing and cleaner streets. Amid political complexity and a savvy, vocal public, the city’s leadership pulled off what many thought impossible: a major win for urban sustainability. The ripple effect? At least 22 other Scottish councils are now eyeing similar levies, proving Edinburgh’s strategy is contagious and essential for cities balancing tourism with livability.
