Ibiza cruise ship cap: PP and Vox block two-ship plan

Two cruise ships at a time in the port of Eivissa, Ibiza: PP and Vox block a proposal for that limit in the Balearic Parliament on Thursday, 12 November. Socialist MP Àlex Pitaluga brings the plan to a parliamentary committee. It takes its cue from Palma, Mallorca, where cruise arrivals have been limited for years.

The proposal also calls for a daily limit on passengers coming ashore and for ship calls to be spread out, so passengers do not arrive at the same times. It asks the Balearic Government, the Balearic Port Authority, Ibiza Island Council, Eivissa City Council and cruise lines to agree on how to manage and limit cruise tourism.

PP and Vox vote against every part of the proposal. For now, Eivissa gets none of the limits Pitaluga sought.
