The world parade of cities levying a tax on tourists will soon be headed by Dubai - the decree was signed by the crown prince of the emirate Hamdan bin Muhammad bin Rashed Al Maktoum.

It would seem, why madly rich Dubai, setting a record for the most spectacular fireworks in the world, it was necessary to introduce such a measure unpopular among travelers? The official reason is the partial financing of the World Expo-2020, which only according to preliminary forecasts will be visited by at least 25 million people .Without delving into the discussion of the new fee, we only dryly note that starting from March 31, the guests of the emirate will pay from 7 to 20 dirhams (65 to 185 rubles) per night depending on the type of placement .If you take into account the fact that guests of Dubai hotels already pay an additional 10% municipal tax, one can only guess about the sums coming directly from tourists to the local treasury .
