Travel Stuff You Should Pay Attention To: Resort Fee Idea Growing

 

April 18, 2016: Disney Parks are considering adding the ever unpopular “resort fees” to guest visits. Initially thoughts are to target these fees on to overnight guests at the various Walt Disney World lodging properties — then spread this easy incremental revenue add-on to California Parks and maybe other family travel resorts they operate in Hawaii.

The City of San Francisco already has something similar in place — they call it a tourism fee or tax that appears on hotel bills, restaurants and other activities. Cruise ship companies are also looking at some type of “daily” resort fee — not sure how that would impact daily staff tips — usually bundled and paid at the end of the cruise? The TC’s take — you charge me a resort fee then that’s what I consider to include any tips!
