The Balearic minister for tourism, Biel Barceló, put the record straight yesterday when he said that tourists would always be welcomed to these shores, firing a shot across the bows of certain sections of the British media who have tried to portray the island as being "tourist unfriendly".

about time wages and so forth are bought up to date. When wages everwhere else are going up
Yes Henry, I've been ciming for over 50 years.
My comment should read when I and others go elsewhere. About time they had an edit facility on here.
James, I have been coming to Majorca for over 50 years,probably long before you were even born and have spent a lot of money in Majorca in those 50 odd years,which has helped to change Majorca a great deal in those 50 odd years,did you visit Majorca 50 odd years ago to know what it was like then James and if not,how do you think that Majorca is now what it is.? I won't be coming back because of the attitude and actions of Majorcans in recent years,and having visited Majorca for so long and spent so much here,have a perfect right to say why,James,good luck with selling your empty bar,cafe or restaurant why I and many others go elsewhere.
Mr James, the "quite a few" can´t account for more than 150 people out of a population of nearly one million, which means that quite a few more eg 999.985 people are very keen to welcome them here next year.
Henry,if you want to go elsewhere, please go. But why put up posts every other day telling strangers about it?When you leave, please take your negativity with you and don't let us know how you get on!
There are quite a number of Majorcans who don't want tourists and attacks on tourist coaches,anti-tourist graffiti and protests together with various strikes and the doubling of the tourist tax,together with the crackdown on private rentals,which many tourists prefer have all insured that many of us will not be back and will go somewhere where we fill welcome. Most Brits don't complain,we just go somewhere else.
