Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:

To ask His Majesty's Government what discussions they have had with the Welsh Government about the potential impact of its proposed visitor levy on tourism in England.

Tourism policy in the UK is devolved, but DCMS maintains regular engagement with the devolved administrations, including the Welsh Government, on a range of tourism-related matters and we are aware of the Welsh Government’s proposals to introduce a visitor levy and continue to monitor its development closely.

DCMS remains committed to understanding the potential cross-border impacts on the visitor economy, including any implications for tourism in England.

Our focus remains on supporting a thriving and competitive tourism sector across all parts of the UK, ensuring that destinations can attract visitors, support local businesses, and deliver sustainable growth.
