BCS foreign tourist tax "Embrace it"
Know of anybody paying this BCS tax of foreign tourists?
Seen any enforcement of tax collection?
Recently I have only driven to BCS, so unfamiliar with what's going on for air travelers.
Woke!
Hands off!

When purchasing a Southern Baja sportfishing license on line, there are a few sites that are up charging.
" There is an additional Use Tax of $30.81 USD per licensee if you are visiting Baja California Sur as a foreign tourist".
Above is a copy and paste off the site.
No up charge if Northern Baja is selected.
Both options are for all federal waters of Mexico.

If one is driving to GN and no further south, is it required to pay this
Baja Sur fee?

I just flew Tijuana to Loreto today.
Flew it last week too. Nothing about this.
Whale watching season has begun. Be interesting to see if they use tour operators to implement and collect funds from their tourist clientele.

Like so many other things in Mexico, this raises some questions, ie, is this fee required for each visit, is it a one time tax, is it good for 180
days like an FMM, or a full year like a fishing license? Does it apply to RP and temporary residents? I visited the site before we left Bahía
Asunción to purchase for my wife and myself but was unable, maybe because I was using my iPhone. Or maybe it was due to the fact that I wanted it for
a longer time period cause I’m going back down in a few weeks.

Since GN is in B.C.S. I would think so. But the website is confusing, at least for me. In addition to this, GN is part of the Vizcaino biosphere, so
by entering the protected area a conservation bracelet (or yearly pass) might be required:
From CONANP:
Protected Area entrance fee
$215 MXN Entrance prices per person, per day, as collection of rights.
Senior citizens, pensioned and retired persons, disabled persons, and minors under 12 years of age will be exempt from the payment of fees, whose
status will be accredited once they enter the Protected Area, if applicable, with the corresponding valid credential. A 50% discount will be applied
to students and teachers with a valid credential, which must be presented upon entering the biosphere.

Have no answers to your other questions, but it clearly says it is for tourists, international visitors. If you have residency, you are not a tourist
or international visitor.
