The Balearic Islands Tourist Accommodation Association (Habtur) is concerned that vehicle restrictions in Mallorca could create "more problems getting to their accommodations" for tourists staying in holiday rentals, according to the association's manager, Maria Gibert. She described Mallorca's public transport network as "deficient." "Tourists staying in agriturismos need a car to get there because they're in a tourist area or staying in a town that doesn't have good public transport access," she emphasized. She added that "depending on the type of measure" proposed in the regulations, "it could benefit large hotel chains because, in a way, it would draw tourists to the big hotels and would also harm complementary services." In this regard, she explained that "a large hotel can charter a bus to the premises" because "it's in their interest for tourists to spend money there and not go out to eat at a restaurant."

The Association of Tourist Accommodations of the Balearic Islands (Habtur) has strongly criticized the intention of the mayor of Palma, Jaime Martínez, to Ban all new tourist rental housing in Palma"We don't fully understand the reason for this announcement. It's a disgrace," said Maria Gibert, manager of the tourist rental association, emphasizing that, to move forward with this initiative, "we must modify Palma's General Plan, which isn't exactly easy." "Palma has more important problems that can't be resolved with this type of announcement," she added.

The left of the Consell de Mallorca asks the president of the island institution, Llorenç Galmés, to take "brave and real" measures for limit rental cars on the island. At least, Vox believes that it is unacceptable in any way that the regulations require Spaniards to pay a fee to enter Mallorca by car. The different political positions leave the approval of one of Galmés's flagship measures in the Consell in high regard. However, the island president is not giving up and continues to negotiate the final proposal for the regulations with entities and companies in the sector, as well as with the parties represented in the Consell, with the aim of ensuring that "it is not only a proposal from one government team, but that it is applied in other legislatures," as Galmés hoped.

The Balearic Islands Tourist Housing Association, Habtur, this Friday questioned the data released by the Consell de Mallorca regarding the illegal listing of tourist housing in Mallorca, which is estimated to reach 40% on the platforms.
