Italian term or phrase: imposta di soggiorno

I would like opinions on the correct translation of this tax which tourists are asked to pay during their stay in some art cities. I have found 'tourism tax' and wonder if this is appropriate.

Phrase is. 'Il comune di XXXXX ha istituito l'imposta di soggiorno' and then goes on to say that the revenue will be used for the purposes of developing cultural initiatives etc. for tourists.

All views welcome.
