Costa said that the government recognises the need to establish limits on tourism in order to grow “in value and not in volume, in quality and not in quantity”.
Antoni Costa has admitted that the images of Soller have an impact on the resident population “which is unacceptable”.
He said that there is a pilot plan to measure the tourist footprint with sensors, arguing that “in order to manage it we need to know the scale of the problem”, something which, in his opinion, has not been done in recent years.
Ibiza is already planning to introduce limits on vehicles this summer, similar to the system introduced in Formentera and Mallorca is also looking at a number of measures to try and limit the number of vehicles on the roads during the peak of the tourist season.

Yep, 6 hours to pop over to Marratxi and back on Thursday to collect some materials. I hit it just wrong. It didn't help that I was in a queue followed a hire car gingerly doing a careful 10km/h in the middle of the road from Fornalutx to Sóller. If you can't drive on narrow village roads, don't hire a big car, in fact don't hire one at all!
Limit the number of Hire Cars allowed on to the roads. Plus there are too many cars on Mallorca.
tourist industry does go up in value the price of all goods go up regular
So after 8 years of criticizing the last government,the PP are now admitting that they were right all along. And when are they going to get rid of the tourist tax that they hated so much (when they were in opposition)
