Balearics is Europe's favourite summer destination
The Balearic Islands, says Trip Advisor, are the favourite holiday destination for Europeans this summer: Majorca, Minorca and Ibiza head the top ten preferences. By nationality, Majorca is favoured by the British, the French, the Russians and the Germans, the latter of whom, reveals Trip Advisor, are also keen on Ibiza. The Italians are apparently more disposed to going to Minorca or Formentera.

Thanks Mike.
Well said Sean
Which leads on to the question of how much all these tourists will be spending outside the hotel,and at the current rate of 1.23 per pound,I think that the answer to that is not much given that holidays in the Balearics are so expensive. Both the M.D.B. and the Balearic government and politicians are obsessed with visitor numbers when,in fact,it should be the amount spent by those visitors that is the prime factor,it's no good having record numbers of visitors if they are spending very little outside their hotels.
