Financing sustainable tourism in Mexico through hotel room tax

MPRA Paper from University Library of Munich, Germany

Abstract: Evidence shows that tourism is a dynamic industry in Mexico. However, it can be detrimental to the environment and to public spaces (Dogan et al., 2017). Hotel room tax (HRT), a tax resting within the fiscal powers of Mexico’s states governments, may be an option to levy the revenue required to successfully address this challenge.
