Fewer tourists
Palma30/07/2018 00:00
I attended an official function this week at a hotel on the island and during the speeches someone shouted from outside the hotel perimeter "tourists go home". I must admit that I doubt many of the guests attending the event actually heard anything but it is clear that there is now a slight backlash against tourism on the island. So-called booze tourism is in the spotlight with a growing number of people questioning whether the island needs this type of holidaymaker. Fewer tourists with a greater spending power is what people want in order to ease overcrowding and to make Majorca a "better" place.
