In 2006, according to the "Sociedad de Tasación", the average square metre price for constructed housing has risen by 9.8% in Spain. While still being a high figure, it is somewhat slower than in recent years, when housing prices rose by 16% in 2003, 12.5% in 2004 and 10.1% in 2005. The resulting price per square metre on the Balearic Islands now comes in at 2.369€. This means, that an average flat is priced at well over 200.000€. |

The tourism of meetings has increased by 16% in 2006. More than 82.000 persons have visited the Balearic Islands in order to participate in meetings, congresses or similar events. This is an increase of about 16% compared to 2005. Most visitors came from Spain, followed by Germans and Britons. Most events that attracted these visitors were related to tourism, technology and healthcare. Palma de Mallorca´s airport with excellent connections to most of Europe´s airports is one of the reasons for the increase. Plenty of capacity in hotels seeking for new business during off-peak seasons may also have contributed to the new development. |
