According to the data of Turespaña the 92 percent of the foreign tourists to Spain spent their vacations in six main destinies. With 9.6 million of tourists (18.3% of the total of foreigners that visited Spain), Ibiza and the rest Balears are in the third place, behind Catalunia, that welcomed in 11.8 million foreign tourists and of the Canary Islands, that received 10.7 million million. In Balears the 40 percent of the foreign tourists is British and the 36 percent is German. For the German tourism Balears it continues being the main place of destiny in Spain since the 35 percent of the tourists of this country arrived at Spain went towards the archipelago. On the other hand, the use of extrahotel lodgings on the part of the foreign tourists who arrive at Spain finds present in all the national destinies although with very different intensity. Thus there are three independent communities:Ibiza and the rest of Balears, the Canary Islands and Madrid, in which the tourists who lodge in establishments nonhotelkeepers do not surpass the 35 percent of the total of foreigners who receive. Once in Spain the main activities that carry out the tourists, to the margin of directly related to the sun and the beach, are to buy (85%), the cultural visits (61%) and the physical exercise (25.5% of total of tourists). Another 23.8 percent declared to have made visits to relatives or friends in their trips to Spain throughout 2003.

Ibiza will be against to that the temporary taxis work in the city

The City council sends a very critical report to the Consell with the Plan of Performance that affects the sector of the taxi and announces that it will resort it.They think that the licenses would have to be granted as much to holders as to wage-earning The City council of Ibiza has emitted a negative report on the plan of concession of temporary taxis, according to what was informed by the first lieutenant into mayor, Pedro Campillo. The report also is against not only the number of seasonal authorizations that the mentioned plan attributes to the City council of Ibiza, but the own approval of the plan on the part of the Insular Consell. The City council will also interpose a raised resource against the concession of these licenses. The past 20 of February, the Consell approved the Plan of Performance in Public Transport of Travellers in tourism vehicles, by which 32 seasonal licenses for August will be granted. Vila as much considers the number of licenses insufficient as the authorized period, limited solely 30 days. The plan indicates that in case some City council did not authorize the benefit of the service of the temporary spots, the holders will not be able to carry out urban transports. The City council of Ibiza will not authorize this benefit, notices the report, and it adds: "We understand that the plan can't anticipate how to do the monitoring and inspection of these vehicles in case that the Consell decides to allow the taxi drop the clients in the municipality of Ibiza, increasing in this case the chaos and the uncontrol that the beginning of this measurement can cause, to avoid this the municipal Corporation requests the Consell that, in no case, to authorizes the future holders of the temporary authorizations to make service within the margins of the term of Vila" the City council displayed before the Consell a writing of allegations with its proposals of improvement on the text. Nevertheless, none of these allegations was contemplated and the document approved by the Consell maintains the same "deficiencies" that the City council detected in the initial text, explained Campillo. The main point of the allegations talked about a possible invasion of competitions on the part of the Consell. "We understand that the approved plan implies a competential invasion in relation to the municipal capacity to grant licenses for transports in taxis. This competition corresponds in exclusive right to the City councils ", assures the report presented to Consell on the 24th of March. The City council agrees in arbitrating average helps to increase the service of the taxi in summer. "But we understand that the solution adopted by the Consell is the worse one of the possible ones and jeopardizes the content of the future law" that will regulate the transport in the Islands, it indicates the report of the City council.
