Tourist tax
Government to begin round of eco-tax talks
On Thursday, the Balearic government will embark upon a series of meetings with representatives from all sectors involved in the tourism industry and the unions to explain, in detail, the new tourist tax which was presented last week and is going to be introduced by the end of next year. The meetings have been called by the Balearic vice-president and minister for tourism, Biel Barcelo, and the meetings will continue next week.

This is going to be a one-sided meeting,what will Barcelo do when it is made clear to him that practically nobody involved in the tourist industry in any way wants a new tourist tax.?
So the tax has been decided - yet now we are to have a series of meetings to decide how to spend it! Surely if a tax is to be levied then the reason for it would already be obvious. This whole sorry thing is being made up as it goes along.
