The Touring Club of France and kindred assoclations are now demanding that the so-called *so- journ tax,” levied on visitors to water- ing places, climatic resorts, spas and famous tourist centers, be raised from 2 maximum of 2 francs to 3 francs per day to balance the lower purchas- ing power of the franc. Hotel keepers are responsible for the collection of this tax, which is added to the tourist’s bill, and the revenue derived from it is spent in improving and rendering more acces- sible the different tourists’ centers. The tax, graded on a scale corre- sponding to the class of hotel patron- ized by the tourists, brought in 20,000, 000 g;;ncs last year, against 8,000,000 in 1922.
