So how do these taxes work to deter “low value” tourism? Amsterdam provided an instructive example at the beginning of January when it implemented a day tourist tax of €8 per person. About a week later, two cruise lines announced they would no longer be stopping in port, and two more lines followed suit in February. These cruise ship “day-trippers” don’t stay in a hotel or eat much at local restaurants (why would you, when you have an all-you-can-eat buffet waiting for you on board?), and are generally in and out of the destination quite quickly. Though the tax—equivalent to the cost of a couple of beers—is relatively small, it was enough to put off extremely price-sensitive cruise lines. And it gave Amsterdam an effective way to say, “Thanks, but no thanks.”
那么这些新税收要如何能够赶走“低价值”旅游人群呢?阿姆斯特丹在一月初做了一个示范:向每位游客每日征收8欧元(61元人民币)的旅游税。大约一周后,两家游轮公司宣布将不再在该港口停靠,二月份又有两家游轮公司相继效仿。这些游轮上的“一日游游客”不会住酒店,也不会在本地餐厅消费太多(如果游轮上就有自助餐厅,谁会花这个钱呢?),而且通常在到达后很快就会离开。尽管这项税的金额不多,不过是一两罐啤酒的钱,但足以吓退那些对价格极度敏感的游轮公司。阿姆斯特丹人用这种有效的方式告知他们:感谢你的到来,不过请你别来了,谢谢。
