The latest figures for foreign tourist arrivals, published on Wednesday, indicate that the Balearics attracted 5.1% more tourists in June than in the same month of last year. The total was 2,058,060. There were 1,958,645 foreign tourists in June 2022. By comparison with pre-pandemic June 2019, there was a slight fall; in 2019 the total was 2,065,329.

The islands' two main foreign markets - UK and Germany - both supplied 30.9% of June's tourists. In the absence as yet of specific figures, these percentages both point to an increase in the number of tourists. In June 2022 there were 619,166 German tourists and 529,754 UK; 30.9% suggests totals of around 636,000.
