The tourist tax is a mandatory payment from the proceeds of the hotel business. Today, it has already been introduced in 40 municipalities of Russia.
The money raised from the additional fee will be used to develop urban infrastructure, organize events, attract tourists, and so on. Experts estimate the amount of possible tax revenues in the tens of millions of rubles, the press service of the Yekaterinburg Administration reports.
