Tourism pays this woman's wages. She doesn't like tourism. Bonkers!

This is a tax . EVERYBODY hates being taxed ! This is the slow end if it carries on and watch out if it increases. Stupid ,just so stupid.

Has this women been asleep for the last few years and does not know of all the anti-tourist protests,the backlash against the tourist tax,which sure as eggs are eggs will,sooner or later be increased again. If you get ridiculous statements like this from the tourist Minister,you wonder what planet Majorcan politicians are living on.

Constantly increasing number of tourists in the Baleares must be an overwhelming experience for the authorities. What is frustrating to read is that authorities give cruise lines tax discounts if they make Palma a "home harbour" where people start and end their cruise despite the fact that the same cruise liners are polluters without comparison. It is also very problematic that more and more tourists are welcome despite the fact that WC water goes directly to the bay of Palma (http://www.mallorcazeitung.es/report/2018/03/26/wc-direkt-bucht-palma-de/58451.html).

Just saying what she is expected to say to keep her job. I doubt she believes it herself!

The hotels will be as full next year as they were last year. Maybe different people but no change in numbers. The difference this and next year compared to previous years will obvousily be the apartment renters who will have to go elsewhere in many cases. This us the sector that will see a big decrease in spending.

Most tourists will have already booked this years holidays, the new brochure for summer 2019 is out on April 5th. That's when people will notice the increases in Hotel costs and decide whether to return to Majorca or like me go elsewhere.

Palmadave - And that’s the problem with statistics, You can make them say whatever you want them to say.

2018 'Record year for tourists'. Thats what your going to see at the end of 2018 Jeff.
