With 16,900 inhabitants, the city of Bombinhas, on the coast of Santa Catarina, Brazil, is invaded by tourists in the summer. Every year, about 1 million visitors arriving in the city, which is causing serious environmental disturbances on site and that prompted the Board to approve a fee of € 7 ($ 20) for every car that enters into Firecrackers.

The draft law provides for a tariff to enter the city, the so-called Environmental preservation Fee (TPA), which has already been approved by the Executive and hopes now for constitutionality, which is being considered by the local public prosecutor. If no irregularities are found, the rate comes into operation on 15 November, holiday in that country.

"The advancement of environmental degradation is very aggressive," explained Ana Paula da Silva, the Mayor of the city, the UOL. "The fares are compensation for the city. We live for tourism and quaremos the coming of tourists, but the recovery is just and necessary, including to improve the visitors ' own infrastructure, "continued.

The money raised by the fee will be applied in the preservation of the environment, infrastructure, public sanitation and sanitation measures. About 70% of the territory is considered permanent preservation area, but only 10% of the municipality's sanitation service.

Upon reaching the entrance to the city, the vehicles will be monitored by a device similar to a radar, which makes reading the boards for the subsequent sending of billing to the visitor. Payment may also be made in advance.

The fee must be in force between 15 November and 15 April and may be paid online, in branches and other locations. After the issuance of the fare, the driver can get in and out of town for a period of 12:0 am. If the visitor entry and exit only at the end of your stay, only will be charged a fee.

Residents and tourists who own real estate in the city are exempt of payment, as well as some types of transport, such as ambulances, trucks and official vehicles; service providers or vehicles that do trade supply previously registered; and public transportation.
