How would you differentiate a local vs. a tourist? Edit: is that even legal?

  In the US cities use things like hotel tax to target areas skewed towards tourist spending.

  It's typically a tax on accommodation, rather than anything else.

    That's what I thought. Unfortunately that also affects locals, which diminishes the benefit.

      Locals who stay at hotels? Usually these taxes are only on short term accommodations like hotels and Airbnb

        They're also usually limited by duration. So it'll be x euro a night for the first 7 nights, with a max of Y per stay

        Yes, if the destination is say a city, then those who live even just an hour away want to come and stay sometimes. Same is true for beaches and lakes, near ski resorts, ect.

          They’re tourists, so they pay the tax
