A judge shut down a Spain community's proposal for a tourist tax in the Canary Islands as locals grapple and protest against overtourism. Officials in the town intend to appeal.
The Mogán City Council proposed a 16-cent per person, per day, tax for travelers staying in hotels or other tourist accommodation.
Onalia Bueno, the mayor of Mogán, said "the tourists who stay in the municipality contribute to paying what proportionally corresponds to them for the services and activities they enjoy during their stay," the Irish Independent reported.
