The information comes from "several central government sources" and a government memorandum.

If it becomes reality, it means that visitors will have to pay 20 kronor in tax per night in the Swedish favourite Copenhagen and in Aarhus. In addition, there will be a tax on cruise ships.

Similar proposals have been discussed politically in Denmark for several years, but have so far never become reality. The new taxes will help finance a number of significant tax cuts that the Danish government will seek support for this autumn, writes the Ritzau news agency.
