If you already spent a few hundreds (or thousands) on a flight+hotel, and you’re probably going to spend more on coffeeshops, restaurants, museums or clubs, you barely even remember that the hotelier asked you a couple extra euros upon arrival.
But for a city that sees millions of visitors per year, it definitely makes a huge difference in terms of aggregate revenue.
