Unfortunate, I have had enough of these taxes, it’s expensive enough, my family and I have visited for the last 10 years. we were even looking this year, supporting the local economy but with no suspension of this tax..bye bye. And if you haven’t noticed ALOT of people are getting sick and tired of it! Where has all the millions and millions of € gone, clearly not on some of the local areas!
Obviously then money we paid last year not going into what it is supposedly meant for. Already booked for September this year as booked early last year. Now however will not book until mid 2021 for next September and having read this will probably book the Costa del sol. No tax, cheaper drinks same sun makes this a no brainer.
So the tourist industry world wide is facing destruction and Mallorca’s economic future is based on tourism. What to they do? They keep the tourists most hated tax. I can imagine the meeting ‘let’s make Mallorca the most expensive place to visit ... hummmm’ The world has changed guys - get with the programme.
these people have NO idea what is happening at the moment
Clearly then “exceptional circumstances which seriously affect the sector" do not include our current 8 week long total lockdown, a hyper contagious virus killing swathes of people and people’s livelihoods disappearing into dust. All we are missing are the four horsemen of the apocalypse. Perhaps he’s waiting for them?
