They can also be obtained from other tourist accommodations or dwellings that are commercialised for tourism if they are permanently deregistered and had acquired the bed places, at the time, in an onerous and indefinite way. In this last case, twice as many bed places as the ones that are going to be commercialised and registered will have to be provided, except for those established in article 78, for which the same amount will have to be provided. Moreover, bed places to expand or open new tourist accommodations will come from other tourist accommodations, not from dwellings subject to tourist commercialisation, or vice versa. In the case of Menorca, the second additional provision cancels the start of new tourist activities of accommodation establishments19 and the expansion of bed places of those currently operational. The Plan of Intervention in Tourist Areas (PIAT) or the Insular Territorial Plan (PTI) will assess or reassess the load capacity of each island and with this result the total number of tourist bed places that can be commercialised in Menorca will be determined. For this reason, stocks will be created for the bed places that can be object of authorisation according to the limit of bed places that can be commercialised. This cancellation, as in the case of Mallorca, will last until the assessment or reassessment of the load capacity of the island is done or until a maximum of four years since the publication of this law. As it is the case in the other islands, there are exceptions. This suspension won’t affect tourist activity in areas of territorial reconversion of tourist areas, delimited in Menorca’s PTI; when there are construction sites destined to the start of activity or expansion in the case of tourist accommodation; when there are licenses being processed; when the urbanistic license in edification has been obtained in the previous six months to the law becoming effective and, in the case of rural tourism, when the process of declaration of general interest of the activity has begun. 19 Including tourist apartments, rural tourism accommodation establishments, hostels, shelters, and inns. It also includes residential dwellings of tourist commercialisation or vacation tourist dwellings.
