Resort fees and extra taxes
They can be or not included in your hotel room rate.
It depends on where your travels take you!
In some European destinations, you might be asked to pay a tourist tax at your hotel check-in.
These fees are typically set by local tourism authorities to support local tourism and protect the environment.
In places like the USA and parts of the Caribbean, such fees are often called 'resort fees.'
For example, in New York City, you'll come across VAT (Value Added Tax) and an 'occupancy tax' as part of these fees.
If you’re jetting off to Mexico, you might need to budget for a ‘departure tax.’ This one is generally paid at the airport before you fly back home rather than at the hotel.
It's good to remember that these taxes or resort fees aren't included in your booking since they’re charged locally.
On Evendo.com we do our best to collect this information from local accommodation providers and display it both on the hotel page and on the checkout.
What Will It Cost Me?
The cost can vary based on several things:
- Where you’re going
- The type of place you’re staying
- How long you’ll be there
- How many are in your travel party (it’s often a per-person charge)
Since these fees can change without warning, it's a smart move to check in with your hotel before you pack your bags.
This way, you know exactly what to expect budget-wise for your trip!
