Announced in March as a way to boost cultural funding, the idea was dropped after months of consultation, with the culture ministry warning it could also deter domestic visitors and undermine free access to the arts.
Why now: The government's reversal on a previously announced plan to introduce tourist entry fees for museums has just been confirmed.
