Scottish Tourism Tax

[oldgit]

Doubt many motorboaters are going to forgo a calm relaxed night with shore power in a marina to save a few euros/groats tourist tax by mooring where the coast is only dimly visible on the horizon.?
Or is this just an unjustified slur that all yachties are tightwads with tin openers.

ChatGPT reckons:
"Implementing a visitor tax on hotel and other overnight stays is a practical approach to generate revenue for local communities. It helps fund infrastructure improvements, such as transportation and public amenities, benefiting both tourists and residents. Moreover, it ensures a fair distribution of the financial burden, with visitors contributing directly to the resources they enjoy during their stay."

Who needs politicians any more. You can ask another computer to construct the counter arguments and set them going in a room on their own. Bit like Boris with his 2 consecutive articles pro and con Brexit.
