The Balearic Government's draft tourism law would remove the category of the "vivienda vacacional*" by which is meant holiday home for rent (not apartments, which are covered nowhere in the new law or old ones, but standalone or, under the new law in some instances, semi-detached properties). The consequence of this would be that owners would need to declare themselves as tourism businesses or place properties for rent through an agency. At present, holiday homes are often marketed via agencies but many are not and owners do not need to be tourism businesses as such. The draft proposal is causing particular anxiety in Pollensa, which has a large number of holiday homes, and has led the mayor to seek amendment to the law.
* The draft does expressly refer to the elimination of this category and its replacement by something rather vaguely called a "tourism stay".
