Not sure why tourists should fund this, it’s mostly locals that would benefit, but if that’s what you want just tack a couple bucks onto the hotel fees to make it easy to handle.

They do pay taxes in the province though…
Hotel taxes, sales taxes, income taxes on the wages of the people providing services to tourist, etc.
