Balearics to ban new tourist apartments and curb illegal rentals
The Balearic Islands Government plans to approve the decree on tourism control measures at the Governing Council on 11 April, aiming for it to take effect before the summer. The proposed measures include a ban on new tourist rental properties in multi-family buildings, higher fines and increased collaboration between local councils and the police to tackle illegal holiday rentals. However, the decree will not include the initially proposed increase in the Sustainable Tourism Tax (ITS).
