VAT shouldn't be an issue for anyone outside the EU. It is a tax applied locally, not to exports. In fact, when vacationing in the EU, you can clain a refund on product purchases when you leave (provided the value is above some amount, maybe 50 or 100 Euros, I can't recall exactly) ie, excludes services consumed locally like hotel & restaurant charges.
