Hi Ana get better soon, will it effect airbnb the tax. Plus you are going to loose people like they started with the 90 days only now this, the tourist tax, people won't come. It will be like covid empty benidorm. It feels like the gov do not want us there when yourselves do. We love benidorm such a shame. Big hugs
A maximum of 7 days doesn't seem so bad, I'm afraid it is the way things are heading but its something we have expected, I have 3 holidays booked for 2023 to Benidorm and it will not spoil my enjoyment at all. Hope you get well soon Anna take care and once again thank you for the excellent update.x
Knew it was going to happen sooner or later I guess so thank you for the update! Just hope it’s not before March 2023 when we come over next lol. Hope you feel better soon Ana x
Hola Ana, thanks for an interesting and informative update. The tourist tax seems reasonable at a max of 14€ per person per holiday as it only applies to 1st week. que te mejores pronto y antes de su viaje. 👍😁🏖🏝🇪🇸
Thank you for your excellent video Ana informative as usual. Recently returned from 10 nights in Benidorm and then a further week in January. Unfortunately the one in January will be the last time. Fleece the tourist for all they can it seems. Many other holiday resorts await other than Spain. I and my wife have had some wonderful holidays in Spain and in Benidorm but other holiday resorts await. Get well soon Ana I wish you a speedy recovery and good health.
Thanks for your awesome video hope you get well soon looking forward to visiting in 2024 with the family for two weeks and watching from the UK keep up the good work :)
Thanks Ana another great update tourist tax has been spoken about for sometime now so not a big surprise it will add cost to our holiday just need to budget for extra costs will not stop us coming to benidorm hope you feel better soon stay safe
Hello Ana sorry to hear you are not well and hope you better soon. You was correct last week regarding the weather in Benidorm its been lovely for our stag weekend. With regards to a tourist tax it raises money for the local Town Hall spending. Mallorca has raised money with a tourist tax for a lot of years
I don't see a problem with what is proposed so long as it is clearly spent on improvements to the area. My only suggestion is that it should be take at the time of booking rather than on arrival.
Tourist tax is disgusting !!!! Looks like it’ll be my last time in Benidorm , I’ll look elsewhere for my holidays and I don’t think I’ll be the only one , terrible, very cheeky , not happy
Hola Ana Old English proverb,Horses for Courses'. If the tax goes to improvements of the town,then ok Someone only going for a weekend or week may feel upset but people going for longer than that will be 'saving money'over a longer stay. Because of economics,all countries raise prices/taxes. I no longer 'eat out' in England due to rising cost and small portions. Bendiciones 😁👍🏴
hope you feel better soon Ana. but at least you are not here in the UK, its freezing ❄️. its a shame about the tax., especially now when people are struggling more yo pay bills, but I don't think it will stop people from coming. get well soon x
Good new just found cheaper holidays in Cyprus now taxing in Spain ,all the long stays look at going to Cyprus with no extra tax’s to find (Happy Days again)
Hi Ana.. thank you for the news especially as you aren't well. You are a soldier x Personally if the tax goes towards improving the resort then I have no problem paying it. Who wants to go on holiday to a sh1t hole? If it improves the less attractive parts of Benidorm then great! Let's sit back and see what they actually do with tax and how it improves the place.. if it doesn't then they are going to look like idiots.. Hope you feel better soon.. send hubby out for whiskey, honey and lemon and ask him to make you a hot toddy ❤ byyye x
Just heard what you said about the Tax. We pay a fortune for CAR at the airport. Then the plane tickets have gone up. Its out rageous. We could cancel our holiday. !! Benidorm will loose visitors. Our economy in UK is dire so our food is hard to purchase. Now Benidorm wants to ROB US FOR MORE MONEY.
It has been confirmed now from 2024, so still long time. The tax is quite small, 0,50-2€ per night per person, depends on accommodation, top is 7 nights. Benidorm Hotels and bars were totally against this tax, to be fair
Well that’s the end for us after All the year holidaying in Benidorm and Spain now retired with all the other cost as well but will remember the good days ( 3 months a year) sorry Spain as band the old ones from coming on long winter holidays after all the years. Hoping it will not affect the winter trade in Spain after such a bad 2 years.
Though I don't agree with the "tourist" tax, as Benidorm was built around said tourism, it's easy enough to budget and spend less in the shops etc... so it's no big deal really, the only real problem could be local businesses might lose out a bit as a result.
Hi Anna Have you tested yourself for covid? I was in benedorn for the fiesta last Thursday then on Sunday I started being sick and really sore ears, headache runny nose sure treat and it turns out I had the new covid variety! I Still have it now a week later!! Get well soon!
Hope your feeling better soon Ana. I honestly don't think it's that much €2 extra per night. Only €14 for a week or €28 for 2 weeks. It's hardly breaking the bank is it. 😉 I can't honestly believe people are saying " that's the end for us" 😂 come on people that's only the price of a meal out. Or about 6 cups if coffee in a cafe over the course of your holiday. It certainly won't put me off. Benidorm is do cheap anyway compared to other resorts.. Thanks for the updates Ana. X 😁👍👍
A year is a long time away in politics and alot can change. I've read that the Councils of the main tourist resorts have already said they won't enforce the tax and that the main Valencian opposition party have promised if they get in power next year, they will scrap the tax all together. Maybe it's not such a big issue.
GET WELL SOON Ana………. You should rest, no need to be on you tube until better..😊 Tourist Tax seemS not to make any improvements in Balearics, the money just disappears somewhere??
2 € per person for a max of 7 nights = 14€ - that's nothing! It definitely won't stop me from coming to beautiful Benidorm! Can't believe people would seek to go somewhere else for the sake of saving 14€ per person! Benidorm is so cheap anyway! Hope you feel better soon, Anna. Love from Forres, Scotland. Can't wait to get back! x
Totaly agree with you. It's hardly that much is it €14 extra for 1 week. That's not a lot. That's the price of a 3 course meal that we pay. Can't honesty believe people are planning on going else were. 😂
Great idea, to ensure you get LESS tourists coming to spend their money just when it is needed there! Are ALL politicians the world over totally insane?
You can find it way cheaper in Benidorm than 2400, also you don't state characteristics of accommodation, amount of people, etc., so it's not really a valid information, taking in consideration on who knows if you compared identical accommodation options, same stars, same review rate, etc 🤷♀️ you can't just say it ans that's it... 😄
Well if the spanish authorities are too stupid to charge tourists a tax, then the UK should start charging the spanish tourists when they visit my country,..........sorry Anna, but Im off to turkey from now on = much cheaper.
How dare any country charge a tax on tourists, when tourists already pay over-the-top prices for everything, people should just stop going to these countries that are exploiting them far too much and then wait until Spain is on its knees begging, yes begging for tourists to come back, when they have nothing left in their pockets and empty restaurants and hotels with nothing but flies as non paying guests!😠👿
After years being loyal to benidorm this tax is pathetic people are struggling now so good bye benidorm hope all British boycott in there thousands I will holiday elsewhere

@geoffreyjones3095 but that's the issue they won't stop increasing the price! Barcelona will increase again in 2024
Knew it was going to happen sooner or later I guess so thank you for the update! Just hope it’s not before March 2023 when we come over next lol. Hope you feel better soon Ana x
Take care and get well Ana.
Tourist tax is a mistake. We stopped going to Balearics when they brought it in for the second time.
Thank you Ana for another informative video. Hope you feel better soon. We might see you around Benidorm. Sunday it’s El Cisne market for us.
Thanks for the update. Get well soon.
Get well soon lady and rest over the weekend.
Get well soon Ana and thanks for the info, not as bad as expected, so will not effect my holidays.
l hope you feel better soon Ana, it is not a lot of money in the big scheme of things so l don't think it will put many people off.
Thank you and get well soon.
Thanks for update Ana hope you get well soon 👍🍰

Scunthorpe and Margate are lovely this time of year ! 😀
Unfortunately, we will probably never know if the tourist tax will be spent in the proper places, Hope you feel better soon Anna. 😢
It will be spent to clean up after you.
Anna hope you feel better soon ❤XX

Hi Anna. Where can I find information about this tax because all I can find is a news article which says it is still voluntary on a municipal level
In Hosbec website, benidorm municipal hall or BOE
Hope you get better soon anna
hope you feel better soon Ana. but at least you are not here in the UK, its freezing ❄️. its a shame about the tax., especially now when people are struggling more yo pay bills, but I don't think it will stop people from coming. get well soon x
Good new just found cheaper holidays in Cyprus now taxing in Spain ,all the long stays look at going to Cyprus with no extra tax’s to find (Happy Days again)
We have paid it in Majorca and didn't mind it's not that much if it helps the community in Majorca or Benidorm

Portugal here i come
What sort of Tax and how much will it cost us ?? We have booked up for May for 10 days in 4* Hotel. Its over £2,000 already so I'm concerned. X
Just heard what you said about the Tax. We pay a fortune for CAR at the airport. Then the plane tickets have gone up. Its out rageous. We could cancel our holiday. !! Benidorm will loose visitors.

What if you are a resident of Valencia community but want to come to Benidorm for a break
If you come to a hotel or official accommodation, you need to pay for it as any other. There's no mention of exceptions so far
Thank you

Keep well have a hot toddy ( alcoholic drink with hot water - whisky)
Or brandy whatever you prefer 😊

Hi Anna
Have you tested yourself for covid? I was in benedorn for the fiesta last Thursday then on Sunday I started being sick and really sore ears, headache runny nose sure treat and it turns out I had the new covid variety!
I Still have it now a week later!!
Get well soon!
Yes, I did get tested, all of us got negative, although the symptoms are exactly the same 🤷♀️

They can't really decide, now it's a tax, not a voluntary thing any longer, but maybe hotels will be able to change all this, hopefully
GET WELL SOON Ana………. You should rest, no need to be on you tube until better..😊 Tourist Tax seemS not to make any improvements in Balearics, the money just disappears somewhere??
It will keep out the less desirable holidaymakers. I can see the advantages already !
2 € per person for a max of 7 nights = 14€ - that's nothing! It definitely won't stop me from coming to beautiful Benidorm! Can't believe people would seek to go somewhere else for the sake of saving 14€ per person! Benidorm is so cheap anyway! Hope you feel better soon, Anna. Love from Forres, Scotland.

cheap for turist yes but som live in benidorm torrvesjo are not cheap eny more rent, power water carbige have going up

Are ALL politicians the world over totally insane?
14 euros doesn’t sound much until you realise that two trips for a couple works out at 56 euros
Own goal for Spain then as people will hate this tax and go elsewhere
Come on, Sir Jones, its very few money.........
@@manuelfg2902 it adds up if a whole family get charged per person
@@nicholasjones5223 lets say a family of 5, it'd be 10€ a day, 70€ for the week. Its not so much.......
Feel better soon. Hopefully nothing too serious.
Won't be coming back! 😭
killing the goose that lays the golden egg comes to mind
Thinks it's time to wave bye bye to holidays in the EU.
Greece and Turkey will be busy then
No more holidays in benidorm for us
Go to pontins instead. 🎉🤣
Tourist Tax, Plus Hotel prices well up next year 2023
Wonderful
😂😂😂
May 2023,
2 weeks all-inclusive Turkey £1400 for 2

@@BenidormbyAna Not at the Hotel i visit every year, Thanks
Tourist tax only fori foreigners YESSS!!! The máximum and more. 👍
It's not only for foreigners, it's for Spanish tourists also...
Beginning of the end bye benidorm
Bye Bye Benidorm R.I.P. …. Just took you off my List…
Bye bye to Benidorm tourism, another tax further to end tourism cash cow.
Yet another good reason not to go to spain on holiday.
It time we moved away from Spain
Well if the spanish authorities are too stupid to charge tourists a tax, then the UK should start charging the spanish tourists when they visit my country,..........sorry Anna, but Im off to turkey from now on = much cheaper.
Bye bye Spain 😂😂😂😂
I have been going since 1982 I am sticking to my guns and will not pay.portugal looks tempting
How dare any country charge a tax on tourists, when tourists already pay over-the-top prices for everything, people should just stop going to these countries that are exploiting them far too much and then wait until Spain is on its knees begging, yes begging for tourists to come back, when they have nothing left in their pockets and empty restaurants and hotels with nothing but flies as non paying guests!😠👿
After years being loyal to benidorm this tax is pathetic people are struggling now so good bye benidorm hope all British boycott in there thousands I will holiday elsewhere
Where? Turkey is not safe, Portugal and Greece for some reason dont convince you at all.......so i'll see u in Beni and you know that
Tourist Tax could be a good thing if the money is spent as intended to the benefit of the tourists Ana ✈️
