Fins Aquí Hem Arribat, the collection of various residents and environmental groups which staged the "anti-massification" protest in Palma last September, have called for restrictions on the number of cruise ships in Palma. They want a maximum of two at any one time and they are also wanting the tourist tax paid by cruise passengers to go up to five euros (as of 1 May it went up to two euros).

Sra Ramis proposes an increase of250percent in tourism tax for cruise ship passengers whilst telling cruise companies to alter routes/schedules. As the Spanish say" the lady has cara " If this proposal is brought into being, I hope they are ready for litigation from cruise companies and passengers . They really haven't thought this through-or perhaps they have? I hope ships and passengers go elsewhere- cheaper and where the tourist really is thought of as a friend, not a cash cow!
