There are quite a few flights now and lots of hotels open tha is not problem at all
To Increase Winter visits , the airlines need to put on more flights. In the North of England their are very few flights if any at all to Majorca. I know from experience people would visit if flights were available. Plus of course some hotels need to be open as well.
"Barceló said that this tourism brings wealth to the Balearics, nevertheless adding that there is work to be done in order to bring more tourists in the winter." Sr. Barcelo is totally right to state more Winter Tourism is needed. More Attractions, More Hotels open,More flights,Special discounted prices, like half price on everything, during very low season periods etc.
