Important information about your stay in Osttirol

The visitor's tax, also known as the local tax or tourism tax, is a charge levied on guests aged 15 and over for overnight stays in tourist establishments. It is collected by landlords and landladies and passed on to the relevant tourism association.

In Osttirol, the visitor's tax amounts to € 2.60 per person/night since 01.12.2024. Persons up to the end of the calendar year in which they reach the age of 15 are exempt from the obligation to pay the tax.

The revenue from the visitor's tax in Tyrol amounts to around €94 million per year and is an important source of funding for Tyrolean tourism associations. This enables investments to be made in the expansion and maintenance of tourist infrastructure such as cross-country ski trails, hiking trails, mountain bike routes and pistes, which benefit both guests and the local population. The administration and control of the tax is carried out by the Department for Tourism and Contribution Service of the Province of Tyrol.

Detailed information can be found in the visitor's tax folder and on the dedicated information page of the Province of Tyrol (german version).
