Asked “Would the new registration law put you off?” coming to Mallorca or Spain in general for that matter, just under 85 percent of Bulletin digital readers said “yes”. Under the new royal decree, which has been pushed back to next month, Britons will have to provide 43 pieces of information when checking into accommodation and it appears that the new law is turning Britons away.

The funny thing is - as far as I can tell, it's not the tourists that *could* be fined 30K. It's the hotels and Car rental companies that refuse to participate.
Finally something positive.
Bad news always gets more clicks, the truth doesn’t matter.
So MDB believe that the readers are representative of all of the UK? How peculiar.
So the MDB will be shutting up shop then . Don't forget to turn the lights out.
It’s embarrassing to read the MDB at times when the level of misreporting and alarmism is so glaringly off the scale.
Perfect, so next year, if this silly poll is vaguely correct, then there will be significantly fewer tourists. Heaven! Well done to the Madrid government for this inspired initiative.
I think most readers and people who voted actually live in Mallorca so the poll is a nonsense
