But jeeze louise, we're there spending our money (during a pandemic, no less), and they want to penalize you on the way out for $10 a person ??!! I'm sorry they lost all of those tourism pesos this last year, but why "punish" the tourists who actually come & spend money there ??!! I know, I know.....that was just a rhetorical question since there is no good answer !! haha
But there is a good reason: they would love to tax everyone who didn't come but they just don't have a way to identify and collect from them....
