Obama´s private jet will have come into land close to where Tom Cruise landed at least twice this year in Palma. Mallorca is in fashion in the U.S. helped by the new direct flights in the summer from New York. Infact, U.S. tourism is growing in importance and these days the island welcomes many thousands of American tourists every year.
Even former President Obama said that he would return to the island after enjoying a round of golf at the Son Gual course before heading for the Gulf region. His wife, Michelle, has visited the island at least twice over the last two years.
It has been rumoured that Tom Cruise is looking to buy a house on the island because he has visited Mallorca at least twice this year. And then there is ofcourse Michael Douglas, who helped put the island on the map in the U.S. when he bought a home between Deya and Valldemossa 30 years ago.
The Council of Mallorca are actively trying to encourage more U.S. tourists to visit and their campaign is proving highly successful.

All welcome but I fear the "kill a tourist" brigade will frighten some celebrities off. They don't need agro and these idiot protestors are unpredictable.
I would suggest that it is mainly down to the fact that they don't see the seedier side of Mallorca that the rest of us do.
