Hawaii Imposes the Nation’s First Climate Change Tax for Tourists — And It's Expected to Generate $100 Million Annually
Legislators in Hawaii are implementing a tourism tax they believe will help the state take action against climate change. Known as the first ever ‘Green Fee’ in the U.S., Act 96 will raise the transient accommodations tax to 11%, meaning travelers staying in a hotel room that costs $300 per night will have to pay a $2.25 fee.
