Cifre says recent changes to the minimum age for health controls by the German and UK Governments caused an increase in productivity and employment in holiday homes in Mallorca.
70% of the 1,300 holiday homes in Mallorca are in Pollensa, Alcudia and Santanyí and they’re mostly rented by British, Dutch, Austrian, Germany and Spanish tourists.
The Balearic President, Francina Armengol met with British Consul General, Lloyd Milen and Sarah Cowley from the British Embassy on Monday to discuss ways to extend the tourist season in Mallorca until November.
