Popular holiday destination Majorca is considering banning large cruise ships from visiting the island and imposing a tourist tax on cruise passengers in an effort to regulate tourism
A popular Spanish holiday island is mulling over the idea of banning cruise ships as part of stringent new measures. Majorca is contemplating a prohibition on large cruise ships docking at the island and is considering levying a tourist tax on cruise passengers in an effort to regulate tourism.
The Committee on Tourism, Trade, Employment, Culture and Sport is currently collaborating with the Balearic Government and cruise companies to renew the agreement and coordinate the timing of ship arrivals. Palma, the capital city, currently sees an influx of over two million cruise ship tourists annually. However, Mayor Martinez is also pushing for a tourist tax specifically targeting cruise passengers.
