The local authorities love their regulations. In fact, these days everything is regulated from the number of cruise ships which can visit the local port to the number of hotels and apartments which can be rented out. Shop opening times are regulated, working hours are regulated. Yes, we have a regulation for everything! But what has happened to the free market?
Red Tape!
The Balearics is certainly regulated

So, you've never lived in Germany, eh? The Balearics are like a libertarian state by comparison. And oddly enough the ruling government there isn't "socialist" (which in the British definition is just another word for "bad", like "foreigner"). And it's an economic powerhouse too. How's that possible? Don't "socialists" and "foreigners" want everybody to be impoverished?
Rules and regulations? Like everywhere else in the world then. Of course when the right were in power there were no regulations and bureaucracy right?
Sadly, whilst the majority vote for socialists the ideology and mentality of regulation will prevail...what makes it worse is that all of this regulation is uneducated in tourism economic terms and does little or nothing to improve the quality of tourism and or sequentially the lives of local residents.....what is more unfortunate is that MDB is very often a supporter of the unsupportable so it is quite unusual to see that there is some criticism of the political / regulatory system....try and make up your mind who you are and what you are!!
