Along with new costs to be applied next year. Tourists may look for alternative holiday destinations. The Protesters have caused damage to Mallorca.
Hay muchas maneras de colonizar un pais o comunidad autónoma. Uds con su dinero lo están haciendo. Esperamos que una vez Mallorca sea de Uds., respeten nuestra cultura y tradiciones. Sí, nosotros hemos vendido y lo seguiremos haciendo ,si nuestras Instituciones no ponen remedio en el asunto... no somos competitivos (somos europeos pero con sueldos no competitivos) este es el motivo por el que vendemos.... y esto pasa aquí y pasará en qualquier lugar del mundo.
What a cheek this man has. It’s badly run all inclusive tour companies like this that have caused the overcrowding in Majorca. The todo incluido’s contribute nothing to the local economy and the hotel owners want to keep it that way. If you look at the comments on Trip Advisor then TUI must rank the highest for their customer complaints. The only way forward is for a drastic reduction in all inclusive holiday visitors.
Oh well he would say this wouldn’t he!!! Giant hotels, thousands of people. All inclusive packages, with money sucked out to the tourist corporations. It’s hideous. But realistically, they are part of the mix. Those giant holiday operations do employ people. It’s true. But they’re not part of the community. They rarely help small businesses and the money doesn’t stay on the island. Quick comparison to the Caribbean- huge US corporations, owning large hotels and generally most of the beaches. The local people don’t even get the opportunity to visits their own beaches, because the majority are private. That’s why Mallorca is fabulous, because the government have protected local rights. This is incredibly precious and important.
Well all you Big people holding somewhat political positions have to be a bit more responsible with your lose talk regarding people who don’t come from Mallorca this is discriminatory talk Mallorca has and dose receive many Euro’s from Brussels which Germany for example is a major contributor , I love Mallorca and have had a house here for more than 30 years have restored it and never rented any part of it to anyone , we have friends here and it’s not a good feeling to be looked upon as some kind of pest after investing so much time and effort on this island , people have to be very careful with treating this as a joke this is discriminatory you have no idea who that person they posibly have had and taken care of a property longer than you have lived !
