The GOB considers that over the past few months, our society has debated enough about the possible setting up of tourist tax and that the Government should already be prepared to present a definite proposal for the eco-tax.

Since the beginning the GOB has bet on a tax that has the following characteristics: - it has to be charged on all tourists and not only on those who stay at hotels or legal tourist apartments - the funds obtained should be destined entirely to projects to improve the environment - the administration and control of the investments should be made via a Consortium or entity the groups institutions, businesses, unions and social entities, - it should be used to reduce the number of visitors who come to the Balearics, especially in the summer.
