The Balearic Islands have passed a new tourism law called the Law for Circularity and Sustainability in Tourism, which mandates that hotels remove single-use courtesy products from their rooms and bathrooms. This includes items such as shower caps, toothbrushes, razors, and soaps that guests may take home even if they haven’t been used. The goal of the law is to promote sustainability and reduce waste in the tourism industry.
