The London Assembly is considering a tourist tariff in London, a small charge on accommodation that can be earmarked to support culture and tourism.
London is projected to attract 40m overnight visitors a year by 2025 – up by 30% from 31.2m in 2016.
New York, Paris and Berlin already use a tourist levy, and the Assembly says it could potentially raise £91m-364m a year.
The London Assembly Economy Committee met in November to discuss the current state of the London economy, and the work of London & Partners, the Mayor’s official promotional agency.
