2-4 euros a day is fair. I dont see the problem, and Mallorca will still have +10 million tourists a year. Maybe we can loose the crap tourism.

The Hoteliers had a good little number, with their All Inclusive tariffs. Now they will have to account for increased tourist tax and its complaints.

The hoteliers were and are always opposed to the introduction of the tourist tax, and maybe the fact that the president of their association has just resigned could have something to do with it. The IVA tax was demanded by central government and has nothing to do with Barcelo and his cronies.

Are these the same hoteliers who pay the chambermaids 2 euros a room to clean up somebody else's mess? And they think they have it tough?????????

The reason why beaches were busy in July is because their are far more of us living on the island than their was 10 years ago !!! Actually I do not believe it is tourists that mAke the island busy, it is all of us who own holiday homes. Think we will see the hotels struggling next year.

Has Majorcans lost the plot,with the potential increased tourist tax ( which is a joke) and the youth of the island protesting against tourists. Keep this up and with some negative press then us tourists will tell you to stick your lovely island. Believe you me #croatia will be rubbing its hands.

I thought that was the whole idea to reduce the number of tourists. Now the hotels are starting to complain realising what could happen. The hotels themselves are all refurbishing the buildings and in turn asking higher prices. They could see this investment going to waste. They could potentially keep ramping up the tax until they see a reduction in numbers , then they would have to reverse it. It will take a long time to get the people back that they have lost as visitors. They will find other places to visit that are a lot more welcoming than Majorca.

I hope that you enjoy your tourist-free Island in the future but when the reality of just exactly what services all that tourist money has provided for your Island hits home and what life is like without all those services,then just remember that you only have yourselves to blame.

The tourist tax is another nail in the coffin for Majorca. Combined with the ever increasing prices lower quality and indifference from some Majorcans towards the tourists I think that a lot of people will now be going to Croatia instead. We will spend our money where we are liked.

Welcome to the asylum. A pity that the hoteliers were happy to see private rentals decimated through the bull in a china shop approach towards licencing as they thought that they'd gain from that and put their prices up. Now with the increased tax that doesn't look as lucrative. I can see Majorca becoming deserted by tourists as they become ever more put off by hostility from the left wing idiots, taxed to death by the government and fleeced by hoteliers. I really feel sorry for the small business owners who will see all their hard work go to the wall as a result of this lunacy
