Holidaymakers staying at campsites or hotels pay a small tourist tax added to their final bill that averages slightly more than one euro per person each night.
The revenue collected from the stay tax is transferred directly to local authorities, according to a report broadcast by the TF1info video news team on the TF1 evening news on August 6, 2026.
Funding tourism infrastructure
Local authorities reinvest the collected funds into regional tourism development. The tax revenue pays for infrastructure projects and helps organize numerous events that draw more visitors to the area each year.
