Impact analysis
Local attractions face a steep 5% cut to their revenues, which will likely get passed straight to visitors through higher ticket prices.
Local taxpayers might see a slight boost in municipal revenue, but mostly this is just a cash grab for the city budget.
Local cultural spots, the zoo, and everyday residents who love affordable weekend activities will take the hit.
