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

Answer

Why is Palma being mentioned as a possible testing ground for the new system?

Palma is often mentioned because it has strong tourism pressure and a large number of holiday accommodation issues to manage. Starting there would let authorities test whether the system works with local taxes, property data and inspection procedures before extending it more widely across Mallorca. A pilot project is usually more realistic than introducing an island-wide system all at once.
