President Juan cast the Ajuntament d'Eivissa's proposed reorganisation as "an admirable initiative because it can relieve the strain of one-day visitors that we have on Formentera in the middle of summer and will distribute these tourists in the pre- and post-season months." Juan asserted that "working to regulate their arrival is beneficial both for the tourists themselves and the companies on the island that cater to them."

In this regard, Mayor Ruiz said that the Ajuntament d'Eivissa's proposal "is being worked on together with the business sector and environmental associations" and that "the Pimeef [Small and Medium-sized Businesses of Eivissa and Formentera] will study the impact of cruise ship tourism on the neighbouring island", adding, "It is very important that all administrations and stakeholders work together on this reordering."
