The minister said on Thursday: "I believe that the Balearic Islands are clear about the profile of tourist they want." The Balearic government's roadmap has always been to give "transformational momentum" that has been agreed with hoteliers in certain areas - "especially Magalluf".
Negueruela emphasised that the Balearics are working on a higher quality product. "Practices that continue to be done will no longer be"; this was in reference to the excesses of drunken tourism. He added that the government maintains "a very good relationship" with Jet2holidays and that the company (Jet2) "has always understood" the Balearic position regarding quality tourism.
He was speaking during a visit to Palma-based Hotelbeds, whose CEO, Nicolas Huss, said that the debate on the overcrowding of the Balearics as a tourist destination was "appropriate", as this overcrowding "is a fact".

George WarnerDo they have cheap all-inclusive and pub crawls in Cala d'Or now? It used to be such a nice resort. I suppose they'll have to start upgrading there too.
Power Distorts Reality he should make his own church !
The problem with this plan is they are so focused on magaluf that they are destroying the rest of the island. I live in Cala d’or and we have noticed already the people who usually go to magaluf have ended up over here… we are over saturated with drunken loud brits.
