Overview

• Campos do Jordão’s council approved an environmental fee 9–3 and sent it to the mayor, who has 15 days to decide; if sanctioned, per‑vehicle charges on nonresident traffic would begin in the second half of 2026, with projected revenue near R$30 million a year.
• Angra dos Reis passed a per‑person Sustainable Tourism Fee that would start in 2026 if sanctioned, with an initial year charging R$23.75 on the mainland and R$47.50 on the islands, alongside exemptions for residents, children under 12 and seniors over 60.
• Ilhabela set a R$48 per‑car visitor charge slated to take effect in December 2025, while neighboring São Sebastião set R$20 per car, creating scenarios in peak-season ferry lines where visitors could pay both.
• Aparecida’s city hall sent Bill No. 48/2025 to the council to create a Sustainable Tourism Tax earmarked for cleaning, road upkeep and other services tied to religious tourism, with rates proposed by vehicle type and debate still pending.
• The push follows precedents such as Ubatuba’s vehicle fee (since 2023) and Fernando de Noronha’s long‑running daily levy, even as backlash continues, including protests and a court‑ordered suspension of planned charges in Jericoacoara.
