Tourist tax is a thing in many touristy places in Europe, you usually pay it in cash to the hotel or guesthouse owner and it's around β¬1 per person-night. So charging β¬5 for tourists not staying overnight is totally fine and it's weird they didn't do it before.
But how do you even enforce it?
There is only one bridge entering the city from the mainland
If they have things like tollways, they can ask for proof of citizenship or proof of reservation
