The Cycling Meeting at Palma’s CaixaForum, which ended yesterday, has heard about the growing economic impact of cycling tourism on Majorca. The most recent information indicates that in the past year some 160,000 cycling tourists came to the island. While principally from Germany, Switzerland, the Benelux countries, Scandinavia, France, Spain and the UK also contribute strongly to the numbers.

What great tourists for the island to have. Cyclists spread their money to small business owners and their staff via small restaurants, bike hire and associated services and enjoy the "real" Mallorca experience rather than putting their money into the pockets of the huge hotel chains who are taking most of their income out of Mallorca.
