The tourist tax, recently adopted by the City of Bari through a resolution of the City Council of 25 July 2023, came into effect on 1 October 2023. The tourist tax is applied, following a gradual scale, to individuals aged 14 and older who stay in accommodation facilities within the City's territory.

The tourist tax is intended to fund initiatives related to tourism and the maintenance and restoration of local cultural and environmental assets, as well as to fund local public services.

The amount of the tourist tax is determined per person per overnight stay and is scaled and proportionate based on the type of accommodation facilities. The tax is applicable for up to a maximum of four consecutive overnight stays in a calendar year. 

Below are the rates for the tourist tax applicable for each overnight stay and up to a maximum of 4 consecutive overnight stays in different accommodation facilities in the city of Bari.

Managers and owners of accommodation facilities located within the municipality of Bari are required to inform their customers and intermediaries through appropriate forms of publicity about the application of the tourist tax, its amount, exemptions, and fines.

Accommodation facility managers or owners collect the tax, issue receipts (providing customers with a receipt and retaining a copy), or issue an invoice labelled as "VAT-exempt transaction".
