Majorca here we come! Especially the Germans can hardly wait in their «17. Federal state” to be able to party again like before Corona. But numerous Swiss people are now also drawn back to the holiday island. The dream beaches of Formentor, Playa de Palma and Playa Es Trenc tempt you to sunbathe.
All those who are not staying in a hotel but in private accommodation should pay attention to this news. “Before the holiday season, Mallorca is cracking down on illegal vacation rentals,” writes the Mallorca newspaper. The inspectors went to the properties, but would also scan booking portals. Especially in this month, the beginning of Mallorca’s holiday season, the controls against unfair offers should be significantly strengthened.
Tough gait against drunken tourists
Goal: Uncover apartments that are presumably rented out to vacationers. In Palma, holiday rentals in apartment buildings are generally prohibited. Since the beginning of the year, the inspectors of the island council have been “quite active in uncovering illegal holiday rentals”.
By the end of April, 361 procedures are said to have been initiated. Foreign holiday guests who unwittingly booked an illegally advertised offer should have nothing to fear from the judiciary. In the worst case, however, they are left without accommodation.
The decree against drinking tourism is also to be strictly controlled this summer, the report goes on to say. Several inspections have already taken place in Playa de Palma and Calvià this year. (euros)
