Visitor Levy Summit 2026

Join Cornwall’s business community for an informed discussion on one of the county’s most important economic debates. The proposed Visitor Levy has sparked strong opinions across Cornwall’s business community. While some see it as an opportunity to invest in the visitor economy, others are concerned about its wider economic impact. What is clear is that decisions of this scale should be guided by robust, independent evidence. The Cornwall Chamber of Commerce’s Visitor Levy Summit brings together voices from across hospitality, tourism, retail, professional services, local government and the wider business community to explore the issue from every perspective. Rather than advocating for or against the levy, the summit provides a forum to test assumptions, share experiences and examine the potential impacts on businesses throughout Cornwall’s economy—from accommodation providers and attractions to suppliers, trades, retailers and professional services. Why attend? Hear balanced perspectives from industry leaders and stakeholders. Explore the potential economic impacts across multiple sectors. Discuss why independent economic assessment should inform future decisions. Contribute your views as part of an open, evidence-led conversation. Network with businesses from across Cornwall. This event is open and free to all who wish to attend. Agenda and speakers to follow. Book to attend here
