There is some concern locally about the state of the British holiday market. These fears regarding the impact of Brexit on holiday bookings and the collapse of Thomas Cook were largely dispelled at the recent World Travel Market tourism fair in London. But there are still some worried people in the tourist industry.

Help! All the episodes are on the iPlayer. It's so compellingly bad! Palma and everywhere else they go are completely empty. No tourist, no locals, no traffic. No scooters. Really few Spanish or Mallorcan characters too and barely any Spanish and no Catalan. Everyone speaks good English! did spot a little yappy dog though, so yup, it's Mallorca. And a copy of your rivals, Diario de Mallorca. You must try harder MDB. Surely they must plug you guys especially with all your gushing! If anyone books to holiday here on the strength of this series they are going to get a massive shock! They must be locking down locations really tight when filming to make it look that empty. Right!, On to the next episode for more gnashing and wailing.
Maybe that Bergerac and Dempsey and M was popular was because they had decent scripts,decent actors not this utter drivel. Perhaps the Bulletin is going too much overboard in its praise .
getting on for 20 million tourists visit the Balearics every year eager to spend their annual savings. It's total nonsense that the regional government doesn't have the money for large marketing campaigns, the truth is, for whatever reason, they just don't want to spend it.
I have a certain admiration for Jason’s dogged efforts to promote Mallorca, although I disagree with him on Sunday opening, more malls etc. What really grates, however, is that the MDB now consistently refuses to post my comments on the REAL Mallorca. I won’t re-list my recent 10 points about the reality of life here and the need to improve because this post would not be used. So I will just make one point to you, Jason. Ignoring the reality won’t make it go away. And glossy soaps will leave the currently salivating potential tourists leave disappointed.
Jason - you really are doing your best to promote "The Mallorca Files". Have you got shares in the production company ?
