What,if anything,does the "club" have in mind to oppose the latest stealth tax idea from the scottish assembly?They want to impose a "tourist tax" on all holiday stays in scotland be it at a campsite,marina,guest house or hotel.(even just mooring a boat!).The tourist industry has already suffered enough with the effects of covid,fuel costs etc.Something needs to change!

I think the retailers in St.Ives set their own tourist tax the way they all bump  prices massively in the summer TWwink

I think I have mentioned it before. In my wagon driving days, many years ago I once broke down in Cornwall. The mechanic working on my wagon told me how they charge tourists more than the locals. From that day onwards I have never gone on holiday to Cornwall, I only ever went while working. I reuse to be ripped off.
