The changes in fees include a reduction in tourism fee issued to guests from six percent to four percent. Guests will no longer have to pay the municipality fee of AED 15 per room per night

The municipality fee of six percent, and the four percent municipality fee which is applied to the hotels' restaurants will also be removed.
