With the aim of defending their interests before the new General Tourism Law to be drafted and approved by the Government presided by Marga Prohens in 2024, all the employers of holiday rentals in the Balearic Islands have joined together in Febhatur<\/p>\n
The employers’ associations Asociaci\u00f3n de Viviendas de Alquiler Tur\u00edstico de las Islas (Habtur), the Asociaci\u00f3n de Empresarios de Villas Tur\u00edsticas Vacacionales (Aevtv), the Asociaci\u00f3n de Viviendas Tur\u00edsticas de Vacaciones de Vacaciones de Ibiza y Formentera (AVAT), Mallorca Villas and the Federaci\u00f3n de Estancias Tur\u00edsticas Vacacionales (FETV) want to defend the interests of the sector due to the changes in the new tourism regulations that the Government of Marga Prohens has announced it will approve in 2024.<\/p>\n
For this reason they have joined together in a new employers’ association that encompasses the entire sector called the Balearic Federation of Tourist Homes, Febhatur, which will be chaired for the next two years by the president of the Association of Tourist Villa Companies, Miguel Cifre.<\/p>\n
Febhatur counts in the Balearic Islands a total of 20,000 tourist places, which generate an economic impact on the Balearic GDP that can reach up to 6,000 million euros.<\/p>\n
The new Balearic Federation of Tourist Rental Homes has set as its main objective the recovery of the 90,000 vacation rental places committed by the new tourism law promoted by the previous autonomous government. Among its challenges are also the modification of the zoning, the reopening of the stock of vacancies and the end of the moratorium. They also seek to ensure that the 60-day period does not discount vacancies and the stock market, and to allow activity on protected rural land, among other objectives.<\/p>\n
In this sense, the Councilor of Tourism, Culture and Sports, Jaume Bauz\u00e0, announced this Wednesday in an interview in the program ‘Al Dia’ of IB3 R\u00e0dio that Mallorca and Ibiza will maintain the moratorium of tourist places until the reform of the Tourism law is approved. On the contrary, in Menorca, he does not rule out lifting it in response to the requests coming from the island and the tourism sector itself.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
