This isn't new news and isn't 'a tax". But you wouldn't expect any 'proper' reporting bfrom MDB
If your "holiday rental" is located in one of the 2 or 3 resorts dependent on British tourism, then yes, unfortunately, you're probably struggling. Bookings are definitely up on the rest of the island. Villas and apartments are getting booked up. Availability is becoming more limited. You might consider broadening your marketing. Mallorca is extremely popular with continental Europeans, and they can afford it. As we're seeing now.
The validation is for 3 years, or was supposed to be. But honestly who knows what will happen this year. I have a holiday rental and it’s a nightmare trying to hit a spot. There is no spot. There are very few bookings. None of the reports in the MDB or elsewhere ever seem to speak to real people. Just spokespersons or statements. On the ground, mostly the word for 2022…so far, it’s shit.
Mark you are correct the world is a little bigger than the GB. The word is also much bigger than Mallorca, Spain and Europe for holidays. I have always been a bit sceptical that the New York , USA demand will be there other than cruising and USA I’ve been tick box tourists. Non schengen states states are numerous and easily accessible to high value U.K. please tell me where Spain can attract its market target of 6 hour travel tourists if not the U.K. s population of 67million.

David, good thing the world is a little bigger than GB. I am not concerned at all. Mallorca will be remain the holiday magnet it always has been.
It’s not the direct cost of Brexit that needs to worry business in Majorca. The fee is nothing on the cost of the holiday. Add the tourism taxes which are justified at a level. It is the message it sends to potential visitors Much has been made of the New York flights as a drive to boost high value tourism. 30% of visitors from U.K. already and available to visit. Hard times with extra bills and stretched incomes. Extra barriers may cost Mallorca dearly
