The Council of Mallorca is going to cut the number of international tourism fairs it will attend next year and will only attend 11, which represents a drop of 68% compared to 2019. The President of the Council of Mallorca, Llorenç Galmés, said today during the General Policy Debate, “Mallorca does not have a problem with demand and does not need to go to fairs to find more tourists. Obviously we will continue to attend the most important fairs, but we will not promote conventional sun and beach tourism,” he stressed.

Charles Dalrymple-ChumleyLots of talk but not much else. Basically after spending 8 years telling us how terrible the last lot were, they adopted 90% of their policies
' the president, who boasted of “doing more in one year” than the left-wing coalition in eight.' Really? Like what? In over a year what have they done? Talk a lot, and nothing else. Another politician who is full of it.
Correct if the reference is applied to mass tourism. But what the island does need more of is higher value tourists with money to spend and who come with a respect for local culture and traditions. If the island attracts the higher end of visitor it will put an end at a stroke to drunkenness, balconing, feral behaviour and noise nuisance. Is there a will and a strategy by the Council to achieve this I wonder?
Good!
