Brits may be looking forward to a chance to get away from it all as rising food and energy costs having a huge impact on everyday life.
However, holidaymakers jetting off to a popular island hotspot in Spain this year could face hiked up prices, according to reports. Majorca is reportedly planning to make holidays around 33 percent more expensive compared to last year, writes Birmingham Live.
Majorca is well-known as a cost effective and sunny getaway, with as many as 860,000 passengers passing through the island's airport in January alone.
"Holidays will be around 33 percent more expensive in 2023 than in the previous year," Juan Ferrer, CEO of the Palma Beach Excellence Quality Services, told German newspaper Bild.
The travel boss added that he hoped the increased prices of hotels would mean better services.
However, it has been making moves to attract different holidaymakers with an "absolute ceiling" on tourist numbers. The future maximum number of holidaymakers will be 16,475,579, the same amount that arrived on the islands in 2022.
While tourists may have to fork out more for a holiday to Majorca this year, they will not yet have to spend extra money on the incoming visa waiver.
The European Travel Information and Authorisation System (ETIAS) was initially set to come into force in November 2023, but has been pushed back until next year.
Anitta Hipper, Commission’s Spokesperson for Home Affairs, Migration and Internal Security told the Record that the delay has been caused by several factors.
She added: "The exact date for the ETIAS go-live will be communicated as soon as it is available."
