What consideration has the Welsh Government given to exempting those involved in the performing arts industry from the visitor levy?

Answered by Cabinet Minister for Finance | Answered on 01/10/2026

To ensure simplicity and stability for businesses and visitors, the visitor levy has been designed with minimal exemptions and variations.

The levy is a modest charge of 75 pence or £1.30 per person per night (depending on the accommodation type) which is generally set at a lower rate than levies applied elsewhere.
