The Majorca Daily Bulletin today brought the British Ambassador to Spain, Simon Manley, and key members of his team together with representatives of the island's tourism, including the vice-president of the Balearics and minister for tourism, Biel Barcelo, for a key breakfast meeting. This was to analyse how cooperation between the various bodies functioned last season and how the Foreign and Commonwealth Office and the local authorities can work together more in ensuring that Britons who holiday here have a safe and enjoyable time, while residents are also better catered for and looked after.

If the Majorcan authorities genuinely want to reinstate winter tourism the solution is in there own hands 1. the tourist tax must not apply to winter months 2. airport landing charges should be reduced similar to Alicante 3. Incentives to keep hotels closed in winter should be phased out 4. Palma should be promoted as a winter break city open 365 days per year
So it looks as though ALL PARTIES chose to ignore the tourist tax and some of the uses that the Majorcans propose to use this tax for,which have nothing to do with the environment or resorts,what a surprise.
