The parties in the Balearic Parliament have agreed on a new law that aims to accelerate the modernization of the hotels in Majorca. The law, which in mid-June to be adopted, provides that the approval of demolition, alterations or extensions should be facilitated. Town halls must issue licenses within two months. If this response, the request is deemed approved. The hoteliers also have in the future two years instead of eight months to legalize unauthorized hotel beds afterwards. The law is a reworking of a first revision last year, which had proved to be insufficient. It is limited to four years.

The master plan should concretized in late May or early June, the public will be presented. Nájera has prepared reportedly also a roadmap to make the public and the private entrepreneurs aware of the need for remediation.
The Integral Plan provides, inter alia, to halve the number of hotel rooms in Playa de Palma and modernize outdated two-star hotels to four-star establishments. For the rapid implementation of the project it was essential to a separate law. For this purpose, the parties would have to pull together, says Nájera
