'Panic' in Majorca as travel agencies warn of ban and 'threaten boycott' A travel firm has erupted in fury over an impending regulation in Majorca intended to cap guided walking tours at just 20 participants.
Based on Mr Fiol's comments, slashing the group size to a mere 20 individuals will necessitate higher prices, effectively passing the cost onto customers pinching their spending power at the destination itself.
Speaking to Ultima Hora, Aviba's top brass Pedro Fiol declared: "If this is implemented, you can be sure that we will stop bringing tourists to the city of Palma.
He suggests that under new regulations, more guides will need to be hired implying that if a tour starts in one area, such as Part Forana, and moves on to Palma, they would require separate guidance for each segment.
Although their current authorization allows for guiding groups as large as 70, Aviba contends they never actually do so; instead, they typically operate with about 50 tourists.
