New travel fee affects travelers early
Countries are increasingly implementing electronic travel authorization and entry fees, which can significantly raise travel costs for international visitors. Notable examples include New Zealand's NZ$123 (about $70) fees, the UK’s £20, and the US’s ESTA fee of $40.27. These charges are often justified by funding tourism, conservation, or generating revenue, though transparency varies, and some fees are seen as stealth taxes. Travelers are advised to use official sites to avoid scams and be aware that future systems like Europe's ETIAS are still in development.
