Facing an influx of tourists to Andorra, the Andorran government is considering stickers for foreign vehicles circulating in its territory, a move that is worrying tourists and cross-border workers and traders.
Is the good business in Pas de la Casa about to end? In the coming months, travel to Andorra could become more expensive. The principality is considering introducing a tax on foreign vehicles passing through the territory. Only day-trippers, who spend at least one night in Andorran territory, will be exempt. The price of the pass will most likely vary “depending on the time of year, depending on the high or low tourist season”, the Catalan press explains.
The aim of the measure is to combat overtourism that threatens this small country of just 85,000 inhabitants. In 2023, almost 9 million visitors crossed Andorra’s borders, equivalent to 30 tourists per inhabitant.
