91.9% occupancy of hotels here. It is an interesting fact that according to the MDB holiday accommodation survey only 37.1% of those who participated would stay in a hotel, whereas the rest - 62.9% prefer apartments, villas and town houses. Ridiculous that the hoteliers can hold this pathetic government to ransom over holiday lets.
Will those figures continue next year? I doubt it, the way some of the local population are acting against tourists those figures could be well down, with other Countries now taking tourists again and new ones starting up there is a pull away from what was once the friendly Island of Majorca. If they leave then most will not return. So well done to the local people who want us tourists to stay away, it could well happen, and i'm sorry to the Locals who want tourism to earn their living.
