Edinburgh Theatre’s $17M Revamp Funded by Tourists | Glasgow News
Description
Edinburgh’s King’s Theatre is set to soak up nearly $10 million over the next 30 years from tourist levies to pay off its ballooning renovation tab — a project now costing more than double its original $20 million estimate, delayed three years and ultimately funded by a mix of public grants, lottery money, and last-minute council injections. While the theatre gets a bigger slice than any major festival in over a decade, critics say the city’s cultural priorities are misaligned — with festivals left scrambling for scraps as the council quietly funnels visitor levy cash toward the historic venue’s long-overdue makeover.
