I did not see the story in the online edition. Looked at the full edition and it referred to the "much discussed" tourist tax. I don't know who has been discussing it, as this is the first I have heard of it. Whatever it is apparently is in the current budget as income, but from what I can tell, it has not been passed yet. The story says that it is to come into effect in the 2nd quarter of this year. One wonders how the thing would be collected, as like us, most people who are coming in by airplane in the second quarter have already purchased plane tickets.
