You would have thought that the Balearic delegation at the World Travel Market tourism fair in London would be opening the champagne with reports that holiday sales for next summer had increased by eight per cent, but no. You see the Balearics are a victim of their own success and more tourists in peak season is not really a reason for a party because the local authorities are more than confident that there will be no room at the inn in June, July and August. What is wanted is more tourists in the spring and autumn.

What about promoting WINTER TOURISM ?. It is the same old story every year. Nothing is done, to enhance prospects for Winter Attractions. Some operators have put a few flights on schedule. But the controlling Hoteliers, have done nothing, but close. The Delegation are on a " Jolly " in London, and achieving NADA, that was not already available.
Have you played a round of golf recently?I understand that for 18 holes for non-members the price is approaching almost €100 Euros a pop. I can't see tourists wanting to play in the cold and rain of the winter season here when they can do that back in Britain for a quarter of the price. Can you?
