## Key points

- Mallorca business leader calls for fewer tourist beds.
- The island received about 13.5 million visitors in 2025.
- Officials favour higher-value tourism that benefits residents.

## Summary

Mallorca’s small-business federation has called for limits on tourist accommodation, arguing that the island needs to curb visitor numbers and ease pressure on residents. Its president, Jordi Mora, says the goal should be a more sustainable tourism model that brings wider benefits to society.

The proposal would reduce registered holiday rentals and step up action against illegal lets. Mallorca received about 13.5 million visitors in 2025, and thousands protested tourism growth in June that year. Local tourism officials have also advocated attracting fewer visitors who spend more: in July, US tourists in Spain spent about $410 a day on average, compared with $260 for British visitors and $240 for German visitors.
