Tourism leaders in Mallorca have sealed a pact to allow no more than three cruise ships arriving per day in 2023 and 2024 to the island's capital of Palma.
At a conference in Paris, they agreed to back the island's new "quality over quantity" approach to tourism in a bid to protect the environment and avoid saturation. The pact is the first of its kind in Spain.
In future, the port of Palma will not be able to receive more than three cruise ships per day in the next two years. There will be no exception days as happened in 2022 when, on a number of occasions, there were more than three liners in dock as arrangements had already been made.
