Paris-bound travelers booking accommodations with Airbnb will soon notice an extra line on their billing receipt charging guests about a euro a night to help pay for the local tourist tax.
For reservations made as of October 1, travelers will see an extra 0.83 euros a night tacked on to their bill that will go towards the local tourist tax, a fee the city has been collecting since 1994 from all forms of accommodation, including hotels, apartments and campsites.
