Baja California Sur introduces mandatory tourist tax

The Government of the State of Baja California Sur has implemented a new tax for foreign visitors who stay in the state for more than 24 hours.

Called the EMBRACE IT tax, this measure aims to generate funds to strengthen natural environmental conservation, community development, and local tourism infrastructure.

The established amount is $470 MXN per person (approx. $25 USD). Payment must be made exclusively online through the Travelkore platform, and travellers must present their proof of payment at the state’s entry and exit points.

The new tax will be implemented in collaboration with Tourist Tax Mexico S.A. de C.V. (TTMX), a Mexican company specializing in tourism collections, utilizing Travelkore’s SaaS technology.

The tax cannot be paid in person upon arrival, and must be made digitally by all foreign visitors arriving by land and air at Los Cabos (SJD), Cabo San Lucas (CSL), La Paz (LAP), and Loreto (LTO) airports.
