Couldn’t agree with Charles more. First step cruise liners - thousands of all inclusive tourists, spending cents and clogging Palma until it’s bursting at the seams. As a bonus, pollution is cut. No more diesel engines turning over in the port - belching fumes. Then actually focus on quality/eco tourism … rather than just talking about it. Finally protect natural spaces. And that could also apply to La Victoria, under threat from el cable … a fact that the ecologists seem to be oddly ignoring.
Cut the frequency and size of visiting cruise ships and re-position the island for quality not quantity tourism.
Restrict the number of flights, what could be simpler
Just set a yearly limit on the numbers allowed on the island for any month. Simples.
