The Consorci Borsa d’Allotjaments Turístics (CBAT) has scheduled for this September the procedure for the acquisition and reservation of 500 tourist places for accommodations in listed buildings or those declared as Assets of Cultural Interest (BIC).
This is a particularly significant milestone, since in recent years the possibility of obtaining new places has been conditioned by a moratorium on tourist establishments. This moratorium was established by Decree-Law 3/2022, which suspended the granting of new licenses for a period of four years, in order to allow time for territorial planning and the determination of the tourism carrying capacity of the islands. The result has been a long period of stagnation and strong contained demand in the sector.
As stated in the CBAT Board of Directors Agreement of July 30, 2025, the Third Transitional Provision of Decree-Law 4/2025 provides for a procedure for the acquisition of 500 tourist places for accommodations in listed buildings or those declared as Assets of Cultural Interest (BIC).
Initially, the deadline for submitting applications was set from June 16; however, due to technical problems, it was declared impossible to resolve the call, and it was agreed to open a new procedure, under which applications may be submitted starting September 9, 2025. The procedure and all official information are available on the CBAT website: https://cbat.conselldemallorca.es/es/procedimientos-y-tramites.
According to official sources, the allocation of places will be made based on the order of submission of applications, making it especially important to submit with the application all the required documentation so that it can be considered validly lodged.
