What ways are effective for capturing tourist dollars?
I agree that GST is a regressive tax that overly targets the lower income earners. But it does serve a purpose
You can charge more for visas, you can have airport taxes, you can levy a fee on museums, huts, trails and such, you can place taxes on tour operators and guides etc.
There are lots of options.
