Bureaucratic chaos in holiday rentals: The plan for an island code — is that enough?

Answer

What is still missing from Mallorca’s plan to organise holiday rentals?

What is still missing is not only technology, but also clear cooperation between administrations, simpler procedures for owners and enough staff for inspections. Mallorca also needs better links between the registry, property data and booking platforms if the system is meant to be useful. Without those pieces, a new code may improve the map but not the reality.
