THE Balearic Ministry of Tourism is expecting an avalanche of applications for the inspection and approval of holiday flats during September.
The end of September is the deadline for applying for this tourist quality accreditation.
This is an essential requirement for the owners if they want to continue renting out their holiday flats.
Fifteen establishments this week received this accreditation from the Minister of Tourism, Joan Flaquer, himself, from a total of 1'700 establishments on the island. The presentation took place in the headquarters of Inestur, in the ParcBit.
Also present were the director general of the Planning department, Josep Aloy, the director of Inestur, Carlos Piza, and the Mayors of Manacor, Santanyi, Pollensa and Son Servera, the towns where the 15 establishments are situated.
Flaquer announced that for all owners of holiday flats who have not applied for the accreditation by September 26, after having six months in which to apply, the Balearic Government will restrict these flats to exclusively residential use, and the owners will lose the right to market them as holiday flats.
