[eng] This paper contains an analysis of the commercial sector
and the time frame regulations in the Balearic Islands.
This subject has been argued for a long time in Spain and
in the Islands specifically, which is why it is so interesting
to study. Firstly, the paper looks at the most important
source of income in the Balearic Islands; tourism, which
the economy relies upon heavily. Secondly, it will
analyse how the Law and the tourist industry affects the
job market; along with the main features of commercial
distribution in Spain and in the Balearic Islands, focusing
in depth on the retail industry.
