Answer

Why is Mallorca talking about a new code for holiday rentals?

Mallorca is considering a geolocated code to make it easier to identify which holiday rentals are legal, registered or still unclear. The aim is to give authorities a more reliable picture of the market and reduce confusion between different public administrations. Supporters see it as a practical tool, but it will only work if the data is accurate and the system is backed by real inspections.
