US EditionIbiza Imposes Cap on Tourists to Control Crowds This Summer
- Ibiza, a Spanish Mediterranean island, started limiting daily tourist cars and caravans from June 1 to September 30, 2025.
- The vehicle cap responds to rapid growth, as the number on the island quadrupled from 51,000 in 2002 to over 200,000 by 2022.
- The daily limit sets 20,168 permits, including 16,000 rental cars and 4,168 private cars requiring prior ferry-crossing authorization, while caravans need campsite reservations.
- Vicent Mari, Ibiza’s head of government, said the limits aim to "guarantee the sustainability" and regulate "unsustainable flows," though rental firms and big companies resisted.
- This measure aligns with Balearic goals to promote sustainable tourism, following Formentera's existing restrictions and Mallorca's plans for similar limits next year.
