Francesc Colmer, regional secretary for tourism, said the tax would “stop tourists going to some places”.
Benidorm and Alicante are two of Spain’s leading destinations for British tourists, many of whom are keen to return after the pandemic.
Benidorm was recently named the most ‘British’ city in Spain due to the high number of British restaurants and citizens.
The tax has proved unpopular with British tourists with some Express.co.uk commenters saying they wouldn’t return if it’s implemented.
