BBC Radio Scotland - Mornings, with Stephen Jardine

Kaye asks - Do we need a tourist tax? Also on the show - the Scot who spent 21 days naked and afraid in a South American jungle

PHONE-IN
Legislation that will allow councils to introduce a so-called “tourist tax” is due to be published this morning. The Scottish Government’s Local Visitor Levy Bill will enable local authorities to add an extra charge for every night spent in hotels, hostels or self-catering accommodation. The money raised would be invested back in to tourism facilities and services.

Kaye asks - Do we need a tourist tax? It would apply to Scots too - would you be happy to pay it?
