In Parliament @cj_dinenage questioned the design of an uncapped holiday tax. “We normally tax things to stop people doing them, not to encourage them to do more.” An expansive and uncapped holiday tax will not cause growth but will cost jobs and deter visitors #StopTheHolidayTax

Great thread on how fake tax statistics propagate through social media. Here, napkin math based on a (wrong) throwaway estimate by a professor in a Guardian article is now all over the web, and became repeated by Musk as if it was an official statistic.
In 2022, Norway increased their wealth tax to 1.1%. In response, some high profile billionaires moved out of the country. According to a viral claim, this resulted in a net loss of revenue. Is this true? No. Over the next two years, wealth tax revenue soared to all time highs.

With climate change becoming more top of mind for travelers, the demand for sustainable travel destinations has never been stronger. AlUla, Saudi Arabia’s newest heritage destination, has developed a “light-touch tourism” model to achieve sustainable growth from the outset.
