Italian term

imposta di soggiorno

Italian to English Other Tourism & Travel
I would like opinions on the correct translation of this tax which tourists are asked to pay during their stay in some art cities. I have found 'tourism tax' and wonder if this is appropriate.

Phrase is. 'Il comune di XXXXX ha istituito l'imposta di soggiorno' and then goes on to say that the revenue will be used for the purposes of developing cultural initiatives etc. for tourists.

All views welcome.

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Moll (asker) Jan 12, 2012:
Thank you very much everyone. I find all your answers possible. In this particular instance, accommodation is not mentioned so I'm going to use the more general 'tourist tax' and will use 'levy' later in the text. Thanks again.

tourist levy

Although imposta is normally a tax, the Commission sees this more as a levy.
