Hawaii Considering New Climate Impact Fee for Travelers

It might cost you even more to take that trip to paradise. Hawaii, which already has one of the most expensive occupancy tax rates in the country, is considering a visitor fee when the next legislative session begins in the new year.

There is a proposal to charge visitors a climate impact fee, or a green fee.

Natural disasters and the subsequent high rental fees have devastated the state’s tourism economy. It has the endorsement of Governor Josh Green, who has long been an advocate of charging such a fee to bolster Hawaii’s environment.

Hawaii can pattern itself after New Zealand, which last week more than doubledthe amount of its tourist tax. It is a growing trend to ensure that tourists pay their fair share for the use of the environment and infrastructure.

The measure was defeated by the Hawaii Legislature earlier this year. Critics say that adding another fee would actually discourage tourism.

But Hawaii’s Dawn Chang, Chair of the state Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR), said: “Next year, the year of 2025, the governor is going to declare that, ‘The year of climate action’ and I think there will be a concerted effort to advocate for the green fee at the next legislative session.”

Green has declared 2025 as “The Year of Climate Action.”

Havaiji harkitsee uutta ilmastovaikutusmaksua matkustajille

Saatat maksaa sinulle vielä enemmän mennä paratiisiin. Havaijilla, jolla on jo nyt yksi maan kalleimmista asumisverokannoista, harkitaan vierailijamaksua seuraavan vaalikauden alkaessa uuden vuoden aikana.

Vierailijoilta ehdotetaan perittäväksi ilmastovaikutusmaksu tai green fee.

Luonnonkatastrofit ja niistä johtuvat korkeat vuokramaksut ovat tuhonneet osavaltion matkailutalouden. Se on saanut kuvernööri Josh Greenin kannatuksen, joka on pitkään kannattanut tällaisen maksun perimistä Havaijin ympäristön tukemiseksi.

Havaiji voi mallintaa Uuden-Seelannin, joka viime viikolla yli kaksinkertaisti turistiveronsa. Kasvava trendi on varmistaa, että turistit maksavat oikeudenmukaisen osuutensa ympäristön ja infrastruktuurin käytöstä.

Havaijin lainsäätäjä hylkäsi toimenpiteen aiemmin tänä vuonna. Kriitikot sanovat, että toisen maksun lisääminen itse asiassa vähentäisi matkailua.

Mutta Havaijin Dawn Chang, osavaltion maa- ja luonnonvaraministeriön (DLNR) puheenjohtaja, sanoi: "Ensi vuonna, vuonna 2025, kuvernööri julistaa, että "ilmastotoimien vuosi" ja uskon, että se tulee olemaan. pyrkiä yhteisesti puolustamaan green fee -maksua seuraavassa parlamenttiistunnossa."

Green on julistanut vuoden 2025 ilmastotoimien vuodeksi.
