Abstract
This paper examines the issue of taxing foreign tourists. In the spirit of conventional optimal intervention theory, a model of optimal pricing is developed by incorporating interdependencies of demand for international tourism with its counterpart international travel. The results suggest that if one ignores the interdependencies of the two sectors and prevailing market structures, the resulting pricing policies may not necessarily be optimal. Pricing strategies that ignore these interdependencies could lead to disastrous consequences.
