Do tourists not already contribute to the economy?
Yeah they do but also to the destruction of the culture and ecosystem, we need a balance.
@@CarlosPerez-zf1uy Perhaps you should ban them altogether and then you can return to herding goats and mending fishing nets.
@@CarlosPerez-zf1uyI thought the illegal immigrants were doing that
Played right into Sanchez narcissistic hands. Lorded like a god. This is exactly what he wanted distraction.?
5 euros departure
Tax ..that's not a problem!!!!
Turist tax. No I wont go where there's an extra cost unless I really have to. Five euro per day is not cheap if you're somewhere for 14 days. As for National Service; that'll be expensive for a country, they'll have to house, feed and clothe the service men/women as well as provide trained trainers, weapons etc etc.
A 5 Euro tourist tax has unintended consequences. It will deter families from visiting. A single tourist will pay 70 Euros over 14 days. A family of 4 will pay 280 Euros over 14 days. That is a substantial additional cost to a holiday. And I don't see how a tourist tax can be applied to any EU citizen. Schengen allows freedom of movement, which means a tax would be restricting that freedom of movement and in breach of the Schengen rules. And AirBnB's may be used for non-tourist reasons such as business trips and house moves. A tourist tax would not be applicable to these visits.
Many cities do the same....Venice for one
Saludos desde Colorado , thank you for you hard work.
Hello Stuart xx. Thunder and little rain xx
Great video Stu.
Regarding to Sánchez stepping down article. I think, it is pretty rich from the Vice-President Ms. Montero saying that, ".. not to allow the right to dictate the terms of political play." She mentioned "political play" which has a broad spectrum; and my personal opinion to political play is, the new democracy works in mysterious ways. Your main goal as someone in the new democracy, seems to prevent other people from speaking.
Hello Stu from Corpus Christi TX
Hola from ATX. Just came back from Spain.
Hi Stu, Spain does indeed import some olive oil. For example, if you look at the bottles of some types of Carbonell olive oil, it says that it is a mix of oil from both Spain and outside the EU.
Trader Joe’s (Boston) just started selling an Australian olive oil $7.99/16.9 Fl Oz
I remember tourist tax in Majorca years ago & hotel gave us 2 free drinks every day on production of room key number.
Nice Clash reference! ❤
I buy a branded Spanish olive oil here in the uk. It used to be £10.53 per litre, it’s now £16.80 per litre 😮
Hi Stuart, Sinn Fein we’re the political wing of the IRA similarly Herri Batasunak and Euzkadiko Ezkerra we’re the political wing of ETA. Sinn Fein are now the ruling party in the Republic of Ireland but I don’t see their politicians running around with AK47’s and hand grenades. Please also put the context of ETA’s presence in the 60’s and 70’s into perspective; they were fighting a fascist dictator who was Hitler’s closest ally during the II World War and Europe’s longest serving fascist dictator.
Sinn Fein are not yet the ruling party in the Republic. They are the largest party in both the Republic and also in the British colony in the six counties of the nine county province of Ulster.
and your point is what…..?
@@user-uc6tq7yg4pI don't think the poster was making a point, only correcting your incorrect information.
That’s good. Well done.
If you look at what has happened in Britain ,you will know what corruption means.
Be grateful for Sanchez!
A very clever political stunt. How to catch heat from the opposition and turn it to their advantage….
Hi Stu. Is there a way you could copy the comments you read to an editor before reading them out? The comment you read about tourist tax needed a hyphen, or at least a comma, between the words 'all' and 'not'. And, unsurprisingly, it gave you a bit of trouble.
If you insert the correct punctuation (in red?) before reading comments out, it would be much easier for you, and might serve as examples for clearer comments in the future.
Aren't tourists paying taxes from the second they book their holidays?.
Anyone know how long it will take for the Spanish government to remove the golden visa?
Glad to be back home in Spain after the French storm of winds 😂
Hi Stu! Do you play golf?
Will spain start to increase their economy to en EU level with the current establishment? I get the current increase of 2023 of 2.5% but when it's so low, is this a win?
As has been pointed out by many local business owners, budget tourists bring little into the LOCAL economy for the majority of residents. The air b’n b owners and hotel owners pocket the money. A tourist tax is unlikely to benefit locals, either. That too will disappear into the pocket of someone higher up the food chain. Unfortunately for spain and the canaries, they are not exotic enough for higher spending visitors who prefer the backdrop of the maldives for their holiday pics. That’s not going to change. You will just drive the budget tourists to turkey greece and portugal.
Is the tourist tax also intended for Spanish tourists? How would Spaniards be treated, who work abroad and are returning to their families on holidays located in a tourist area?
Is just for tourist coming from abroad
@@CarlosPerez-zf1uy Thanks for the answer Carlos. I wonder if the EU will have something against that. They might say, when, for all, no discrimination amongst EU citizens.
@@CarlosPerez-zf1uyNo. Anyone, including Spaniards, who stays in rented accommodation (hotels, apartments, houses, AirBnB etc) pay this tax.
is accepting the culture not as importent as the language, when moving to another countrey ??
are you sure spain is the right place for you, alot of complaining and bad news articles on this channel..
if you feel like that it is better not to learn the language to be onnest
As Spaniard, you a right learning the language and culture is the number 1 thing to do for respect and integration, does not matter the country. But he is right in a lot of things, country is going to shit... is just sad.
O
Vox is far right. It has to be discussed in spain. Have people forgotten franco?
Your point is ?
@@CatFisher947 it's better to learn from history. Progress rather than backwards
@@NardSpain The only thing history has taught us is that we don’t learn from history.
dude, you dont even know real Spanish people. My grandfsther from Santander loved franco. My father told me that life in Spain in franconian times was better than now...and they not far righters or creepy masons. They just hard workers.
Turkey
They are not the ruling party...yet,actually not that popular currently😮
