The Mallorcan nationalists at the left-leaning Mes party are calling on the Balearic government to double the rate of the tourist tax in an effort to curb visitor numbers. The additional cash would be used to try and reduce tourism and to diversify the local economy away from tourism.

RedbaronPeople who Drive around in uninsured cars don’t pay tourists Tax Mate !
Triple it and get rid of all the foreign uninsured cars
Doubling the Tourist Tax may deter some of the low earners in Britain. Who spend all year saving to pay for a holiday to the Island they adore. But the high earning Tourists will just pay the increase. So I do not think it will reduce those who want to holiday here. The Protest movement have caused some damage to Tourist numbers this Season. But I wonder how many of the Protesters have lost their business and employment , as a direct result of less Tourists , and less money spent here.
This is such a Fantastic Group of People they Hate any foreigners leftovers from Unio Mallorcan party and allways have Super ideas like this as has been said thank God that they are not in Government !
