This U.S. City Charges the Highest Tourist Tax in the World — and It’s Not New York City
Contrary to popular belief, New York City doesn't hold the title for the highest tourist tax in the United States, or even the world. That distinction belongs to Chicago, Illinois. The city's combination of hotel taxes, transportation fees, and other levies results in a significant added cost for visitors. While many assume major tourist hubs like New York or Los Angeles would have the steepest fees, Chicago's tax structure makes it the most expensive destination for tourists in terms of added costs.
