Posted in: Kyoto eyes introducing lodging tax amid increasing tourist numbers See in context

I don't really see what the big deal is. If I were a resident of Kyoto, I would just be concerned with how the money from the tax would be used. Hopefully the politicians won't charge such an outrageous tax as to reduce demand. The people who are complaining obviously haven't been to Anaheim or America. A quick google search reveals that Anaheim has a 15% hotel tax.

Even my hometown has a 5% hotel tax - and it's not a tourist destination.

Full disclosure: I'm an American, so there could be something I'm missing here. I just saw this researching a trip (as a future tourist, a hotel tax wouldn't make much difference to me.)
