Exactly what do Arran want to achieve? It is tourism which dragged Spain out of the recession and is the driving force behind its rapidly growing economy. Tourism has also helped to ease the unemployment problem which was the second worst in Europe not so long ago.

If they put stickers on cars are they breaking the law in Mallorca. If I picture them doing it and go to the Police will they investigate and prosecute if I am willing to give evidence?
I for one will not be returning unless things change. As a regular visitor since 1972, all we now get as a welcome is Airport delays in and out, Protests and the Tourist Tax. (tried before and failed) I pay plenty into the economy while in Majorca, without this extra extortion. Still, you double the Tax next year, there are plenty other places to visit.
The danger is that the tourist will simply vote with his/her feet and go elsewhere, particularly as many other destinations now offer better value for money and a warmer welcome.
There is a great danger that Arran could be sorted out/attacked and seriously injured, by very depressed Tourists. Who have spent hours in Airports passport/security queues, and then at their Hotel, discovered the paying of Tourist Tax. Plus, finding even longer delays upon leaving the Island. ARRAN---BEWARE--BE WARNED !.
