東南アジアの複数の国々が、持続可能な取り組みとインフラ整備の資金として、2026年に観光税を導入または維持します。タイは2月から外国人訪問者に300バーツの入国料を課す一方、バリ島ではIDR 150,000の一回払いを要求。マレーシアは宿泊1泊ごとの部屋税を適用し、ベトナムには特定の入国料はありませんが税の議論が続いています。
2026年、東南アジア諸国連合（ASEAN）の観光政策は、持続可能な開発を支援するための新たな料金導入により進化しています。タイ政府は、空路、陸路、海路で到着するほぼすべての外国人訪問者に対し、約USD 8-10に相当する300バーツの賦課を承認しました。この料金は2026年2月から有効で、到着時の訪問者保険に1人あたり約70バーツを割り当て、残りは観光地の公共設備、安全システム、インフラの改善に充てられます。国境と空港での徴収方法の詳細は2026年初頭に最終決定されていました。
