The passenger figures for Palma suggest that the October tourism figures, which won't be available until the start of December, continued the rise that there has been every month this year. It is expected that the total number of tourists in the Balearics in 2023 will exceed 17 million for the first time, which would be an increase of getting on for half a million over the all-time record year of 2018. The increase may end up being closer to one million.
