Hotels, bed and breakfasts, and campgrounds across the province will have to start charging a mandatory tourism levy next year.
It comes after the province passed legislation allowing municipalities to impose mandatory levies.
Paulette Hicks with the Saint John Hotel Association says the city has had a voluntary three per cent levy in place for 10 years that helps pay for the operations of Discover Saint John — the destination marketing organization that’s set up as a not‑for‑profit, public‑private corporation created in partnership with the City of Saint John and the Saint John Hotel Association.

Hotel News Now
The global economic situation in the fall of 2019 is characterized by slower growth and — depending on the world region—by prolonged times of uncertainty.
Despite these trends, the global luxury hotel industry continues to show resilience and — again depending on the market — healthy demand growth rates.

If you’re hoping for a delay in enforcement of the looming deadline to adopt an electronic logging device, don’t count on it, says Joe DeLorenzo, head of enforcement for the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration.
Speaking recently at the EROAD user conference in Portland, Oregon, DeLorenzo dismissed any chance that the agency will delay the Dec. 16 deadline for switching from automatic onboard recording devices to fully compliant ELDs. “It is not going to get extended past December,” he said.

How much are you spending on tires? Sharpen a pencil and figure your cost per tire mile, and you may find that a fraction of a cent per mile can add up to a lot of dollars. The difference might be in the tires you buy.
