Manchester is the first UK city to charge a tourist tax to visitors staying in City Centre hotels and holiday apartments.
Starting on April 1, tourists will be paying £1 per night on top of their hotel fee as a 'City Visitor Charge'.
This new tax will help fund the new Manchester Accomodation Business Improvement District and an estimated £3m worth of annual revenue will be dedicated to tourism-related and cultural projects, as well as necessities such as street cleaning.
We asked people in Manchester about their thoughts on this new charge.
