Tax on hotels, B&Bs and self-catered accommodation would be 1.25 a night.

Lower rate of 75p would be paid for hostels and campsites.

Tax will be charged per person, per night, and will also apply to children.

Tax would help fund services in tourism hotspots, but critics say it will deter visitors.

Labour and Plaid Cymru signed a co-operation deal in 2021 to co-operate with Labour .

Wales Tourism Alliance said there was "no clear commitment" that funding raised by the levy will be dedicated to improving the visitor experience in Wales .

Peter Fox , Welsh Conservative Shadow Minister for Finance, added: “This tax is the wrong one for Wales .

It will also drive visitors to using more council-maintained facilities".
