Foreign nationals, including children aged 12 or above, travelling on a package holiday basis will have to pay a per person per night tax of up to £3 a night depending on their accommodation’s star rating.
The charge starts at four Tunisian dinars (£1) per person for stays at two-star properties, eight dinars (£2) for three-star properties and 12 dinars (£3) for four or five-star properties.
The tax will be payable on stays of up to 10 nights, or the first 10 nights of longer stays, regardless of when the booking was made. The proceeds will be put towards running costs – such as products and services – stemming from tourism.
