According to the latest survey by TripAdvisor and Ipsos Mori 71% of Americans said they are likely to travel for leisure in 2022 and Tripadvisor today published its best-of-the-best world destinations, with something for everyone—beaches, history and local culture with Mallorca coming in first place.
According to TripAdvisor "This island in the Mediterranean Sea just off the south-east coast of Spain has beaches, mountains, fishing villages and, of course, delicious food.
The Mallorca Cathedral, a Gothic cathedral with additional work by the architect Antonio Gaudi in the early 20th century, is built over the city walls of Palma de Mallorca's old town."
Mallorca beat the likes of Cairo, which came second followed by Rhodes, Tulum, Mexico, Dubrovnik, Ibiza, Natal, Brazil, Arusha, Tanzania, Goreme, Turkey and Santorini, Greece in tenth place.

Most yanks and Canucks I’ve met are around Palma area. Although I met a couple lost in port andratx on my last visit. A couple of years ago in the tabac on paseo born I got chatting to a couple of Yankee lads who had escaped the “I’ve been to itinerary “ of the cruise ship and their wives shopping for a couple of hours and I gave the some advice on Trinidad as Cuban cigars are forbidden in USA. Yank are good customers to have if you can get them to slow down and enjoy the island
No worries...they won't be going to magaluf. You're safe. Those Americans who can afford a leisure trip to Mallorca will likely be exactly the type of tourist that exemplifies the "quality over quantity" target. They're far more likely to choose the classier accommodation on the island.
Oh my God, not Americans please
Well, with the movies, Hollywood celebs visiting or with with mansions here, and the investments of the Balearic tourist board to promote Mallorca and Ibiza in North America, it's not a surprise that more Americans would be aware of Mallorca nowadays. And that's all good. Americans welcome here. However, I would wager that most Americans have never heard of Mallorca, and couldn't point it out on a globe on "who wants to be a millionaire". But it's encouraging that TripAdvisor dropped the Mallorca ball out of the lotto drum (this week). Cairo? Really? I'll never go back.
