Regulations Law 3/2022, of 15 June, entails turning around the regulation of tourism in the Balearic Islands. It is a shift towards sustainability and circularity. This is supposed to be attained with great obligations to be fulfilled by the companies in the tourism sector, especially those in accommodation. These obligations are temporally specified in a calendar foreseen by the rule itself, with sanctions in case of unfulfillment. This law is a modification of the Law on Tourism in the Balearic Islands, and it stresses fields like energy, residues, water, and proximity products. This goes hand in hand with a moratorium on the acquisition of new tourist bed places for a period of time, up to a maximum of four years. The end goal of all of this is achieving sustainability in a key sector in the economy of the Balearic Islands. Keywords: Tourism, sustainability, circularity, tourist accommodation, contractual offer. 1 DOI https://doi.org/10.60559/ijtthl2023-015 Civil Law Professor, University of the Balearic Islands.
