A tourist tax of two euros for overnight stays is set to commence on May 21st<\/sup> in the district of Faro. The City Council of Albufeira<\/a> has intimated its plans to start charging this fee in the municipality as high season approaches.<\/p>\n

The tax was to enter into force on May 2nd<\/sup> but in a statement by the City Council today, it is suspended until May 20th<\/sup>. Reasons given for this suspension is that some challenges with the payment computer application are yet to be resolved.<\/p>\n

Jos\u00e9 Carlos Rolo, president of the municipality stated that due to these constraints, \u2018the starting date for collection is expected to be May 21st<\/sup>.<\/p>\n
