The Welsh Government has approved plans to give local councils the power to tax tourists staying overnight.
The new tax will be highest for holidaymakers staying at hotels and bed and breakfasts, where the fee is set at £1.30 per person per night, including children.
Adult overnight visitors who camp or stay in hostels in Wales will be charged 75p per person per night, but children are excluded.
It will come into force in 2027, at the earliest.
To apply the levy, councils will have to go through a consultation process with local communities.
The tax will be spent on supporting the tourism industry in parts of Wales that attract a lot of visitors.
This could include such things as cleaning beaches and maintaining public toilets and footpaths, with decisions made by individual councils, said the Government.
Finance Secretary Mark Drakeford said: “The levy is a small contribution that will make a big difference to our communities, helping to maintain and enhance the very attractions and services that make Wales such a wonderful place to visit and live.”
