Barcelona is significantly increasing its tax on cruise ship passengers, raising the fee from a maximum of eight euros to potentially 30 euros per person. The move aims to manage the impact of tourism on the city. This increase represents a substantial rise and is intended to generate more revenue from cruise tourism. City officials have not specified the exact criteria for the 30 euro fee, but it will apply to cruise passengers disembarking in Barcelona. The new tax is part of a broader effort to regulate and control the growing number of tourists visiting the popular Spanish city. The measure is expected to be implemented soon, impacting the cost of cruise travel with Barcelona as a port of call.
