The Tourism Act of Vorarlberg aims to promote and protect tourism by empowering the state and municipalities to support tourism-related initiatives. Municipalities designated as "tourism municipalities" can collect tourism contributions from self-employed businesses based on their economic activity and local classification, as well as a guest tax from overnight visitors. The law outlines detailed provisions for calculating and collecting these charges, sets exemptions, and governs the use of the funds for tourism development. It also mandates qualified personnel for tourism management in active municipalities and includes enforcement measures, penalties, and regulations for digital accommodation platforms. The text consists of 22 Articles.
