Dear Sir,
Regarding the article on many fewer tourists booking for this summer and the concellation of numerous flight slots, I see Antich thinks there is a quick process of recuperating the market. How? I can just imagine, come the summer, travel agents in all sorts of countries (but probably mostly Britain and Germany) telling keen, late-booking Majorca fans that yes, there are plenty of available hotel rooms but no flight seats to Majorca - so why not go elsewhere? Next winter is going to be one of discontent and empty pockets for the many ordinary people of Majorca, who do not benefit from the minority golfing, yachting, rich and/or famous, five-star hotel types. The ordinary people (including lots of residents, immigrants, etc) are trying to make a living working in ordinary jobs -- hostals, one, two or three star hotels, bars, menu del día type restaurants, shops, rent a car, etc, -- and depend on the ordinary type of tourist -- there will never be enough of the former type to ensure an adequate living for everyone.
Why not go elsewhere?
