"From eco-social intent to green growth drift: The governance of a sustainable tourism tax" www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0160738… . The authors rightly argue that accommodation taxes need clear legal purpose, ring-fenced revenues, transparency and alignment with limits on growth. Here in Greece hotels, short-term rentals and villas alike pay the "Climate Resilience Fee" (TAKK) monthly through the myAADE platform. No one really knows where these taxes go. No relevant Ministry issues an annual public report stating the total CRF revenue, the percentage and absolute distribution across project categories, the geographical distribution, or indicative 'climate resilience' projects. There is no discrete coding for revenue/expenditure, preventing the public from monitoring the corresponding CRF. There is no connection to open data (data.gov.gr / opengov) where one could download the relevant data and analyze it. Show more
