What Croatia charges
Dubrovnik
€1.30–€2.65 per person per night, by season and accommodation type, ages 12 and over
EUR 1.30–2.65 per person per night, set by season and by what you stay in. A hotel or apartment in Dubrovnik is EUR 2.65 a night each from 1 April to 30 September and EUR 1.85 the rest of the year; campsites are EUR 1.95 and EUR 1.30. The high-season rate is the highest any Croatian municipality is allowed to charge. Children under 12 pay nothing, and 12 to 18 year olds pay half — as do 18 to 29 year olds travelling with a youth organisation. The county has already set 2027 and left all four amounts untouched, so these figures hold for a 2027 stay too. We show the range rather than a total because we do not ask your dates or your accommodation type.
Travellers under 12 are not charged.

Split
€1.33–€2.65 per person per night, by season and accommodation type, ages 12 and over
EUR 1.33–2.65 per person per night, set by season and by what you stay in. A hotel or apartment in Split is EUR 2.65 a night each from 1 April to 30 September and EUR 1.86 the rest of the year; campsites are EUR 1.99 and EUR 1.33. Split charges the absolute maximum Croatian law allows in all four of those slots. Vis matched it in 2026 but cuts its rates for 2027, which leaves Split the only one of the county’s 55 municipalities still at the ceiling in all four. The 2027 decision leaves Split’s own amounts untouched, so these figures hold for a 2027 stay too. Children under 12 pay nothing, and 12 to 18 year olds pay half, as do 18 to 29 year olds travelling with a youth organisation. We show the range rather than a total because we do not ask your dates or your accommodation type.

Why Tourist Taxes Have Exploded
The Overtourism Response
Venice, Amsterdam, and Barcelona are using tourist taxes to manage visitor numbers and fund infrastructure repair. Amsterdam charges 12.5% of the room price — the steepest rate in Europe, and a share rather than a flat fee, so it climbs with the price of your hotel. Barcelona hit 40 million visitors/year with a population of 1.6 million.
Conservation Funding
Bhutan's Sustainable Development Fee ($100–200/day) funds forest conservation and free healthcare/education for citizens. Rwanda's $1,500 gorilla permit directly funds mountain gorilla protection — the population has grown from 620 to 1,000+ since 2004. Higher prices = better conservation outcomes.
New Entry Authorizations
The UK's ETA (2024) and New Zealand's NZeTA join the US ESTA in creating pre-arrival fee systems for visa-waiver nationalities. The EU's ETIAS launches in 2025 — €7 for 3 years, covering 30 Schengen countries. These are not visas, but they cost money and must be arranged in advance.
Budget Planning Rule
Add 10–15% to your accommodation budget for tourist taxes in European cities. For adventure travel (gorilla trekking, Galápagos, Machu Picchu), the permit/entry fees can equal or exceed your flights. Always research before booking — some permits (Inca Trail, gorilla trekking) sell out months in advance.
Highest-Fee Destinations to Budget For
Bhutan: $100–200/person/day government fee — mandatory for all visits
Rwanda gorilla trekking: $1,500/person per trek (non-negotiable, all goes to conservation)
Uganda gorilla trekking: $800/person for foreign non-residents — book 6+ months ahead, permit numbers strictly limited
Galápagos Islands: $200 entry + $20 transit card on top of Ecuador visa
Masai Mara (peak season): $200/person per day, Jul–Oct Great Migration period
Amsterdam: 12.5% of the room price — about €175 on a €200/night room for 7 nights, charged per room rather than per person
