The mayor, Eneko Goia, has reiterated that the municipal government will ask the newly constituted Basque Government to set up a tourist tax in Donostia-San Sebastián. What is more, he pointed out that it will be one of the first requests. In fact, the electoral program of the PNV contains the commitment to implement the tourist tax in the Basque Country.
In this way, the City Hall will urge the Basque Government to take the necessary steps to implement this tax "as soon as possible".The mayor believes that it will be beneficial for the city, as it will be "useful" to improve the services
