Medebach’s official tourism bureau reports a Gästeabgabe (visitor contribution) of EUR 2.00 per person per stay day. Guests at Center Parcs Park Hochsauerland pay EUR 2.29. The arrival and departure days together count as one stay day. The contribution supports tourist infrastructure such as the tourist information office, information materials, hiking and cycling paths, and other tourism-related facilities. The official municipal tax and bylaw pages do not present this as a conventional municipal overnight tax or a percentage-based Bettensteuer; the tourism page labels it Gästeabgabe. Some accommodation businesses already include it in the accommodation price.
The official tourism page says that many hosts apply special rules for children up to the completed 2nd or 14th year of age; those children pay no Gästeabgabe. The applicable age limit depends on the accommodation business. No official Medebach source reviewed states exemptions or reductions for business travellers, disabled guests, or accompanying persons.
For short-term accommodation, the official tourism information states that the Gästeabgabe is paid at the accommodation business; some businesses include it in the price. No official Medebach source reviewed specifies a short-term-rental registration number, Wohnraumschutz requirement, or Zweckentfremdungsverbot. No additional host reporting or remittance procedure is stated on the official Gästeabgabe page.
