Missing tourism information
Palma09/11/2018 19:52
Usually at the World Travel Market fair in London the local government gives an insight into the state of holiday bookings to the islands for the forthcoming season. Strangely, this year this information was "unavailable". The only information which was available was the 50 per cent growth in winter tourism, but even this good news was greeted with scepticism from some hoteliers. "Yes, we've attracted one more winter tourist," joked one hotelier. The minister for tourism, Bel Busquets, forecast a similar season to the one which the islands had enjoyed in 2018, which saw a drop in British tourism. But she wouldn't be drawn on the state of the market. Why?
