How much is the Sustainable Development Fee (SDF)?

The SDF is charged per traveller per night and funds free healthcare, education, environmental conservation and cultural preservation. Current approved rates are held as versioned policy records and shown in the cost calculator with their effective dates. Children and certain categories may have concessions — eligibility is estimated per traveller and confirmed at application.
