Zanzibar hoteliers have cried foul over a new levy that will be imposed on them. The levy, which is set to come into effect on July 1, will be 10% of the room rate.
The hoteliers say that the levy is unfair and that it will hurt the tourism industry. They argue that the government should raise revenue from other sources, such as taxes on businesses or individuals.
The government of Zanzibar says that the levy is necessary to raise revenue for the island. The government says that the money from the levy will be used to improve infrastructure, such as roads and hospitals.
The hoteliers and the government are currently in negotiations to try to reach an agreement on the levy. It is unclear whether the two sides will be able to reach an agreement.
