The most beautiful vacation regions in Austria & South Tyrol

Yes – as in many other tourist regions around the world, this tax is required by law in South Tyrol. Depending on the category of accommodation, a basic rate of between €1.50 and €2.50 per person per night is charged. However, local authorities have the option of increasing the tourist tax to a maximum of €5 to fund tourism-related services and infrastructure.

In Austria, the visitor’s tax is organised at provincial and local authority level, resulting in a diverse and flexible structure. The amount of the visitor’s tax is set individually by the federal states and/or local authorities. Recording and maintaining the data is made more difficult by the various adjustments to amounts and details. If you’d like to know exactly what visitor’s tax you and your loved ones will be charged before you book, please get in touch with the Almliesl team. We’ll be happy to find out for you in advance.

The ‘local tax’ is a tourist tax that every adult must pay for a paid overnight stay in the relevant municipality.

The main reason for levying the tourist tax is that tourists benefit from local facilities and services such as walking trails, ski slopes, swimming pools, museums and cultural events, and thus contribute to their maintenance and improvement.
