The fee will be capped at seven consecutive days and is scheduled to come into force in 2026.
Edinburgh is set to become the first city in Scotland to introduce a tourist tax after Scottish government granted powers to local authorities to introduce visitor charges.
Edinburgh’s city council has approved a proposal called the ‘Transient Visitor Levy’ to be introduced in 2026.
The fee is expected to raise up to £50 million (€59 million) a year to be used to make improvements to the city.
However, some tourism operators are concerned it will put travellers off the destination.
