WHAT? Sorry, but your logic is totally backwards. This is NOT going to be used to promote tourism; it's going to be used to offset $$$ lost from property taxes. Don't kid yourself. This tax is meant to make it more expensive and thus DETER more tourists. Have you ever gone to a place and said, "GREAT! They just raised the cost for me stay here!"
