Premier Philippe Couillard announced Monday his government's intention to harmonize hotel taxes.
It's part of a bid to improve the promotion of Quebec as a tourist destination.
However Couillard rejected a newspaper report that his government would add a new tax on all-inclusive packages that Quebecers take abroad. He said that would have a negative impact on middle-class families going on vacation.
The proposal he is making is expected to generate an extra $17 million due to tax harmonization.
