More climate clap trap, designed to make everybody poorer.
It is good that the impact of tourism on all aspects of ‘sustainability’ is being discussed and inevitably there will indeed be cost implications which will reed through to cost increases for tourists. The concern is when such a policy is used by the less scrupulous to justify unjustifiable cost increases. Mallorca is becoming increasingly unaffordable for many and to say ‘demand will not be affected’ is either naive or the deliberate start of a narrative designed to give carte blanche for price increases per se rather than for true sustainability driven reasons.
