Tourism fears impact of fresh levy

Tourism professionals attempted damage control on Monday ahead of the planned imposition of a levy on Greek accommodation units based on occupancy rates. The “special stayover levy” has not yet been defined but will apparently come into force from early 2017 and will be imposed on most hotels and rented rooms. Initial estimates point to a charge of 2 euros per night’s stay per person.
