Michael Bayley said the recent increase in the levy – which charges adult cruise passengers arriving between May and October €2 – was “not really a great thing to do”, adding: “I think you’ll find that everybody [in the cruise sector] has a similar philosophy.”
“Of course there are fees and taxes related to activity, which everybody is fine with,” he explained to TTG.
“I think, though, when you start singling out either industries or sectors and start putting specific taxes on [them], you start polarising opinion and it is never such a great idea.”
