Ecotasa balear: los hoteleros asumen que nunca se eliminará

🏖️ Hoteliers in the Balearic Islands accept that the 'ecotasa' (tourism tax) will not be abolished and will increase during the summer months. President Marga Prohens (PP), after over a year in office since May 2023, has not removed the tax, defying hoteliers' expectations. Prohens, with little connection to hoteliers unlike past relationships spanning 41 years, inherited the tax created in 2016. Despite industry concerns, the tax remains due to its lack of social opposition and significant revenue generation.
