In response to the worldwide inflation surge, several renowned tourist destinations are set to increase their entry fees, posing additional expenses for travel enthusiasts.
CNN reports that iconic landmarks such as Mount Fuji in Japan and the esteemed Louvre Art Museum in Paris are among those implementing price hikes in 2024.
Mount Fuji, Japan’s majestic peak and symbol of national pride, will now require visitors to pay a higher entry fee. Despite its geological significance as an active volcano with a history spanning 100,000 years, experiencing its breathtaking beauty will come at an increased financial cost for tourists.
Similarly, the Louvre Art Museum, housing masterpieces like the Mona Lisa, has decided to adjust its entry fees. Situated on the banks of the river Seine in Paris, this cultural gem has attracted art lovers worldwide. However, the new entry fees reflect the economic challenges posed by inflation.
Beyond these landmarks, Bali, Indonesia, has introduced a $10 tourist tax per person upon arrival, while Iceland imposes an accommodation tax for each night’s stay, including cruise passengers. Venice, Italy, has initiated a daily tourist tax, and Amsterdam, Netherlands, has raised its tourist tax.
With the upcoming Summer Olympics in France, Paris has doubled its tourist tax, adding to the expenses for visitors exploring the City of Light. Even the United Kingdom has joined the trend by introducing a travel authorization cost per person.
As tourists navigate these added expenses, they must consider the entry fees now associated with renowned destinations like Mount Fuji in Japan and the Louvre Museum in Paris.
