The tourist tax is a source of funding
for the development of tourism in your
region.
Since 1st January 2015, the tourist tax has been
unified and collected in the Luberon Monts de
Vaucluse (LMV) region.
Every owner of tourist accommodation in the towns of
Beaumettes, Cabrières d’Avognon, Cavaillon,
Cheval-Blanc, Gordes, Lagnes, Maubec, Mérindol,
Oppède, Robion and Les Taillades must collect the
tourist tax from their guests.
The rates were set by the federation council following the
deliberations of 26 June 2014 and 13 April 2015.
The rates are applied for each day and to each guest
according to the type of accommodation concerned, from
€0.20 to €1.65.

The revenues from this tax are used to carry out practical
actions especially in favour of our policy promoting local
tourism. LMV decided to set up a joint tourist office with
the legal status of a public industrial and commercial body
(EPIC), giving it the scope to promote and market the
tourist offer in the region. This new body is a real
tourist-development tool for socio-professional organisations.
Among the directions decided on, LMV aims to develop a
uniform approach to welcoming and informing visitors all
over the region, to set out a marketing approach and to
launch a programme to market holiday and regional-discovery products.
