End of the loophole in regulations. Cities prepare for a new fee for tourists

New regulations in Poland will allow local governments to introduce a tourist fee starting in 2027, applicable to all overnight guests. The fee will be capped at 5 PLN per night and will be collected by accommodation providers instead of designated collectors. Major cities like Kraków are preparing to implement this fee, while others like Warsaw are still evaluating its potential impact. The funds raised will support local public services and tourism management, benefiting residents directly. Gdańsk will adapt its existing fee system to comply with the new rules, while the specifics of the fee will be determined by local councils.
