In the past I have accused the local authorities of being rather complacent when it comes to tourism. I felt that opportunities were being missed such as winter tourism. But I must admit that they do appear to have a plan. Low-season tourism is no longer just a joke or a nice little chestnut, it is happening. The season now lasts for nine to ten months and everyone agrees that there is more to this island than just the sun and the beach. Obviously the new convention centre in Palma is a major asset to the city and will help increase visitor numbers in the low season. British tour firms are actively talking about making Palma a weekend getaway destination during the low-season months and hiking is now almost as important as sun-and-beach tourism.

I see the circus has lost one of its clowns again , you need to come to Cala d’Or from nov to April and then say 10 months , I don’t think so
After months of complaining about tourist issues,i.e. tourist tax, cyclist, too many cars, all inclusive, Air B&B, overcrowding, letting regulations etc etc etc., the Editor now says the Islands are in a tourist position and are in "a good place". Let's hope the positivity continues. GNT
"Nine to ten months" You really do need to get out of Palma a lot more and see this "nine to ten months" tourist season in most of the resorts,you might just get a shock.
