The Balearic government is set to introduce a whole series of urgent measures in February to curb mass tourism after a summer in which numerous anti-tourism marches took place involving thousands of people. Balearic President Marga Prohens made the announcement in parliament today and called on opposition parties for their help.

TDThere are a number of factors to take into account and for some it was a problem and for others it have some of very little impact on there normal living lives, it didn't effect me at all, i can go to any beach in Calvia and swim, i can drive from A to B with out any problems, shopping no issues, getting to and from the airport no issues. No impact at all. If they what people to spend then the model needs to change, less fully inclusive hotels, star ratings of hotels need to improve, quality hotels not quantity, infrastructure changes, quality of restaurants needs to improve as well. Works both ways. Its an individual answer and for some it was not a problem and for 50% or more it was an issue and they will have there personal reasons. Democracy something Spain is not very good at.
I cannot believe in the poll above asking if there are to many tourists here, 44.6% said no 🤷♂️Are you really that stupid??
