I wish the Balearics would make up its mind, does it want foreigners or not? | Emilio Queirolo

Yesterday Palma’s small business sector issued a plea to not start limiting cruise ships just yet as they need the revenue to help them recover from the pandemic while MPs were debating the new Tourism Decree which opposition parties claim will have a negative impact on tourism especially the holiday rental industry which is worth well over 80 million euros per year.

Having just paid £600 for car hire, for 11days I will not be returning to holiday in mallorca in the near future until the blatant profiteering has stopped. The price is over half the price of our accommodation!, You guys are shooting yourself in the foot.
Those people who have made a lot of money through tourism. Have left the Island. Their money is in offshore tax havens. Unless those that want to make money here now are prepared to work hard. Then I doubt that tourism will return to its mass money making schemes of the past.
Considering that by MDB's own admission, tourism in Mallorca is hardly "suicidal" this year, and barring a war with Russia, it's only likely to grow in forthcoming years. I can't comment on the restrictions of cruise ships, because I don't know the details. However, on the surface it doesn't seem entirely logical. But again, I'm not privy to the details. Nonetheless, there's absolutely no evidence of "suicide", despite how much you'd hope for itit to vindicate your sensationalism.
