Answer

What would a tax increase on tourist housing mean in Mallorca?

A tax increase would make it more expensive to buy properties intended for tourist use, which could discourage some speculative purchases. The idea is to use financial pressure instead of outright bans, but the effect would depend on how the rules are written and where the extra revenue goes.
