I won’t be paying any Tourist Tax to the Majorcan Government this year as I won’t be coming. That’s 4 trips cancelled this year. Ryanair ain’t paid me me back for the first flight in April as yet... but it is now flying... I hope O’Leary’s shares are worth a whole lot lower now
I cancelled my holiday to menorca because of the mask law. Whats the point spending all that money just to be uncomfortable all the time?
And they still think it is right to charge us the tourist tax. What planet does the Balearic government live on .
The economic impact should not be blamed on Covid-19, but on a failing government, who acted way to late and then way too abrupt and rigidly by only listening to virologists and medical specialists and being blind to the rest of the society. Blame them first and foremost as there rulings, lock downs and scare mongering have caused this economic melt down. And now they are spending OUR money in aid packages and saddling us up with years of future debt.
