Hong Kong Reintroduces Hotel Tax and Increases Airport Fees for Travelers

Credited from: SCMP

  • Beginning January 1, visitors to Hong Kong will incur higher costs for both hotel stays and air travel as authorities implement new taxes.
  • The 3% Hotel Accommodation Tax has been reintroduced after being waived since 2008, aiming to generate HK$1.1 billion in revenue amid rising public deficits.
  • This tax applies to all hotel patrons while exempting smaller establishments with fewer than 10 rooms or non-profit lodgings.
  • Additionally, travelers will pay an extra HK$10 on airfares due to a rise in the Passenger Security Charge to enhance airport safety measures.
  • The fee increases aim to fund upgrades to the airport's security systems, with further increases anticipated in the coming years.
