What problems can you face in tourism law?
At the moment, the Balearic Islands offer a wide variety of alternatives when it comes to investing in the tourism sector. The archipelago allows the construction and operation of hotels and large resorts, as well as rural accommodation, agrotourism, guest houses and tourist flats. These businesses have their own characteristics and legal frameworks.
Obtaining permits and licences is undoubtedly one of the most common problems in the tourism sector in the Balearic Islands. The authorities are quite demanding in this respect and only grant them when the projects comply to the letter of the law. So, to avoid setbacks, you will need a team of specialist lawyers to handle the application.
This brings us directly to the acquisition of assets that will serve as the foundation for your investment. In this regard, it is essential to carry out due diligence, a report carried out by external consultants whose purpose is to check whether the investment does not entail legal risks. It takes less than a month and can save a lot of problems later on.
