Looking ahead to the summer and Mallorca may not be proving as attractive as expected to British tourists but in the meantime, bookings to the Balearics have increased by 9.4% in the last week compared to the previous week, and have risen by 23.2% compared to the same time last year, according to data from the booking platform TravelgateX provided today.

Tourist trends are increasingly favouring quality over quantity, and increasingly in the off season, so it's just good business to offer what they seek. And that's why we and many others delivering that stay booked. If that's not British enough, then so be it. There's plenty of others seeking it and happy to pay for it, but you could be forgiven for being oblivious to it in your isolation from those substandard boring foreigners. By the way .. Yoga? meditation? Muesli? Cold hut? Middle of nowhere? Really? You guys really don't get out much do you?
Morgan, no Brits, is that possibly because Brits are fun loving and the idea of eating muesli, meditating and doing yoga all day whilst being abstemious in the middle of nowhere isn't that exciting. I've worked a lot in Scandinavian countries, they aren't the most exciting people in the world and like being isolated in a cold hut in the middle of nowhere.
Morgan WilliamsAll well and good, but you never tell us how many people your AirBnb caters for.
We've been booked for Christmas, new years, and all the way into May since 9-10 months ago. And not one Brit amongst them. So, I think it might be reasonable to assume that others are probably not re-booking this week. So, we win again! After the holidays, we can expect to become fully booked for June, July, August, September - like always. But around August, we can expect to hear "panic as bookings have nosedived" (this week). Except for Brits of course, who will again be leading bookings in Mallorca.
More Brits than Germans ? Does Morgan know about this ?
