19. Travel Tax Advisory

When planning your trip, be aware that some countries impose a tourism tax, which is collected directly by local authorities. This tax is typically payable at the hotel or airport and cannot be pre-included in your holiday package. It is the traveller’s responsibility to settle this amount as per the local regulations.

             AED 10 for 3-star hotels

             AED 20 for 5-star hotels
  • Maldives: Guests staying at hotels on public islands are required to pay a Green Tax of $6 USD per room per night.   
  • Malaysia: Tourism tax varies between RM 10 to RM 15 per room per night, depending on the type of accommodation.

    Additional retribution fees may apply when visiting other islands.
