neutral  writeaway: any refs?? This is Algeria, so Algerian French. What is an Introductory Tax?? how does promotional allowance fit in?

neutral  AllegroTrans: what is "introductory" about the tax? Can you give a ref. to show this is the correct translation in terms of Algeria, given your high confidence level? And why "allowance"?

agree  Daryo: from few other samples available, that would make most sense; as this tax is applied to the price of hotel rooms, it must be meant for the "promotion of Algerian tourism"

neutral  AllegroTrans: Right idea I think, but not really "advertising" - maybe "promotional" works better; and why not "tax" rather than "levy"?
