The Formentera Office of Tourism is pleased to report that today's edition of the Official Gazette of the Balearic Islands (Butlletí Oficial de les Illes Balears, BOIB) includes an agreement concerning the procedure, conditions and criteria governing distribution of 50 permits to begin or expand rental activity at lodgings used as holiday rentals. The proposal is exclusively for tourist-use holiday rentals. From today, interested parties have until 29 September 2022 to make their request. Application forms can be found in issue 121 of the BOIB, published 15 September.

Alejandra Ferrer, vice president and councillor of tourism, said that with the entry into force of Law 3/2022, legislation that included urgent measures for sustainability and circularity in the Balearic Islands, new permits for holiday rentals were temporarily suspended, with the exception of 50 permits on Formentera. "Negotiated during consultations, this exception offers a solution for families and small businesses that have already made investments and works. They will have preference especially if investments and works were done with sustainability and environmental criteria provided for in the Quality Plan approved by the Consell de Formentera, as well as those provided for in the tourism regulations", said Ferrer.

Applications can be processed in the "Tràmits i gestions" section of the Virtual Citizen Information Office (Oficina Virtual d'Atenció a la Ciutadania, OVAC) or in person at the Citizen Information Office (Oficina d'Atenció a la Ciutadania, OAC).
