The new environmental sanitation tax will suffocate small hoteliers in Playa del Carmen, who are already at a disadvantage due to the onslaught of vacation rentals that are not regularized
Offner Arjona, president of the Association of Small Hotels in Playa del Carmen, said he understands the government’s need to collect more taxes; however, his coffers would have more income if vacation rentals were regularized, turning them into taxpayers.
On the other hand, the hotel leader mentioned that it is difficult to have control over how many people stay in these vacation rentals, since unlike a hotel, they do not have a person who is aware of how many people stay or the needs they may have during their stay.
