Tourism is the basis for Majorca and Balearic economic performance. | Julian Aguirre

The latest regional government economic report shows the Balearics to be the Spanish tourism region with the highest ratio of employment creation and to be the best positioned to reduce unemployment. The report compares rates of inflation, registered unemployment and registrations with social security between the Balearics and the Canaries, Catalonia, Valencia and Andalusia in July. It is a report, therefore, that focuses on the five main sun-and-beach tourism regions.

Not next year !
So sick, sick, sick of this stupid headline. It is rubbish and means nothing, everyone who lives in Mallorca knows this.
The Tourist Tax will negatively affect tourism growth. Mallorca has forgotten that they are an island and they need to work at always creating tourism through as many different mediums as possible. This growth in jobs sadly once another "blip" or "crisis" happens in other areas will sadly be lost. Tourism is now a 4 month maximum season. Sadly the current government will destroy Mallorca, we were on a positive role now all will be undermined over the next 4 years. I fear for this beautiful island.
Mallorca will shut in ten weeks. The seasonal workers will all be back on the dole again having worked a short season. They then can't claim a decent social security, leaving them in poverty for six months. And so it goes on...
