The problem here is that they are also taxing domestic tourists. Hard also to differentiate people sleeping in Helsinki, Turku etc for work reasons or for leisure.
It’s not just Finland. Other countries are implementing similar things too.. Japan for example has already implemented some: [https://www.euronews.com/travel/2026/04/15/travelling-to-japan-in-2026-here-are-the-new-taxes-and-price-hikes-you-need-to-know-about](https://www.euronews.com/travel/2026/04/15/travelling-to-japan-in-2026-here-are-the-new-taxes-and-price-hikes-you-need-to-know-about)
A measure that could bring income in excess of literally dozens of euros
Great! Unironically the tourist tax should be few hundred euros, per day, per visitor. The insane influx of people in Europe needs to support economy more than it is.
I feel sorry for tourists. Not only they pay almost 10€ for a pint of beer they now have to pay more 😀
How about trying to provide better conditions to get tourists to spend more instead? No, everything needs to be taxed more. If something was still open and not overly priced to begin with.
It’s not like the country is drowning in tourists like Venice or something…
I live in the middle of nowhere: do we even get that many tourists that this would be beneficial? Will an additional tax in a country where everything is expensive keep drawing tourists here or would they skip us and go visit pretty much any other country that would offer more for the price?
It is for municipalities to decide whether they want it or not. And it will be just few euros per day maximum.
This is a very funny move because Finland is already unpopular with tourists because it is very expensive.
The hell is the purpose of this? We should happy anyone comes here as a tourist at all. This isnt Japan that has overtourism.
People here don’t seem to understand that this isn’t meant for the whole country, but rather for tourism hellscapes like Rovaniemi and other similar spots in Lapland. Rovaniemi, Levi/Kittilä, and Inari have been the most interested in this tax because they (we) need it the most.
The sheer volume of tourists during the high season isn’t purely beneficial for the municipalities. Tax revenue could be used to alleviate the pressure that mass tourism puts on local healthcare, the environment, and education, to name a few. For example, many local schools have students speaking an increasing variety of languages, which requires more and more resources.
During the high season, people are already willing to pay insane amounts of money to visit Lapland. A small tax isn’t going to keep them away (unfortunately…), but it will help the municipalities mitigate these issues. Just ask the people of Barcelona.
