TOURISM, SUSTAINABILITY AND CIRCULARITY IN LAW 3/2022 V.- CLASSIFICATION OF ACCOMMODATION ESTABLISHMENTS. The decree law published in February already delegalised the classification of accommodation establishments, allowing the government to modify them by decree, and so does the law in its second additional provision. It modifies Decree 20/2015, of 17 April, of general principles and guidelines of coordination in tourist matter; of regulation of advisory bodies, of coordination and cooperation of the Government of the Balearic Islands, and of regulation and classification of tourist companies and establishments, dictated in development of Law 8/2012, of 19 July, on Tourism in the Balearic Islands. Annexes 1 and 2 of the law establish the criteria of the categories of keys and stars, adjusting them to the new obligations foreseen in the law. This final provision also modifies article 100 of the cited decree and establishes the possibility of specific plans of inspection regarding the category of the establishments. VI.- CONCLUSIONS. It is an important modification for the sector of tourism, key in a territory like the Balearic Islands. It means a shift towards sustainable and circular tourism. This entails many obligations for tourist companies, especially accommodation ones, with important sanctions in case of unfulfillment. The shift that this new regulation substantiates entails action by different administrations, which may complicate some processes. Tourist aspects, urbanistic aspects, bed places, uses, etc., are entangled. The seventh final disposition already establishes that the ministry in charge of tourism matters must design an action and coordination plan with insular administrations to look out for the fulfilment of the obligations that the Title V on circularity foresees. It is a rule that introduces many changes with a bet on change in the tourism sector.
