The tax was introduced in July 2016 and is levied at between €1 and €4pppn, depending on star rating, as well as on cruise ships (€2).
Alexandra Wilms, the Balearic Islands tourist board’s corporate communications director, told TTG there was now an acceptance of the daily fee, which is collected directly by accommodation providers.
“I don’t think [tourists] see it as big a problem as in the beginning. Also, there was not a big decrease in tourism numbers.”
She added 90% of Balearics residents were “very happy” with the tax.
