THE BALEARIC ISLANDS PROVIDE SUSTAINABLE TOURISM TAX PROJECTS UPDATE
Since 2016, visitors to the islands of Mallorca, Menorca, Ibiza and Formentera have been paying a Sustainable Tourism Tax, contributing towards ongoing vital projects which aim to protect the environment, preserve the historical and cultural heritage of the islands, and promote sustainable tourism. In 2023, a total of €133,342,900 was collected.
The tourism board stated that the next standout projects to be started will be:
A new railway link between Manacor and Artà, Mallorca
- This construction project will provide long-awaited modern rail infrastructure in eastern Mallorca, offering an alternative form of travel along the popular route between Manacor and Artà.
New walking and cycling routes in Ibiza and Mallorca
- Combining the restoration of Balearic heritage with the promotion of sustainable forms of transportation, this project seeks to transform old train tracks into new ‘greenway paths’ for cyclists and walkers.
A new pedestrianised path between Santa Maria and Inca, Mallorca
- A 2.7km pedestrianised stretch of road will be created along the MA-13A road from Santa Maria to Inca, passing through Consell and Binissalem, with improvements also being made to the road itself.
