The Tourism Management Board (TMB) has said it would “broadly support” proposals by the Policy & Resources Committee (P&R) to implement a tourism tax.
Hannah Beacom, TMB chair, said she would be supportive as long as the funds went back into the tourism industry.
She said: “Whether that be directly in product development and funding or whether it would be invested in sustainability or our surroundings and natural beauty.”
Guernsey States treasurer and chief resources officer on P&R, Bethan Haines said further revenue raising measures would be brought before the States in “due course”.
Ms Beacom said she thought the tax “would need to be fairly modest so it doesn’t impact on people’s decision-making on whether they come here”.
