The ICT argues that this measure would affect the country's competitiveness as a tourist destination, making tickets more expensive without a cost-benefit analysis of their impact on the industry and tourist arrivals. In addition, they point out that the additional income would not directly support tourism development. Therefore, the ICT does not support the legislative proposal.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Debate on VAT on Airline Tickets<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Treasury
