Liverpool is set to introduce a new **Visitor Levy**, officially known as the **City Visitor Charge**, as part of the city's Accommodation Business Improvement District (BID). This initiative aims to support the growth and sustainability of Liverpool’s vibrant tourism sector.
### Key Details:
- **Implementation Date:** The specific start date for Liverpool's visitor levy has not been announced yet we believe it could be from June 2025.
- **Levy Amount:** While the exact fee is yet to be confirmed, similar charges in other cities range from £1 per room, per night, or a percentage of the accommodation cost.
- **Purpose:** Funds collected will be reinvested into enhancing tourism services, improving public spaces, and supporting cultural events, ensuring Liverpool remains a top-tier destination for visitors.
