St David’s Day in Wales will see many attractions close in protest against a proposed tourist tax by the Welsh government. The Welsh Association of Visitor Attractions (WAVA) argues that the tax will negatively impact local businesses and residents, especially as many Welsh people holiday at home. The tax, set at £1.25 per night, is seen as detrimental to tourism, which has already declined significantly post-COVID. The protest aims to raise awareness of the tax's implications, with over 100 businesses participating.
