"The island has long been a really important destination for the UK travel trade, so it feels particularly fitting that we’re returning there in the year that ABTA marks its 75th anniversary.”

The number of UK nationals in temporary roles within the tourism sector across Europe has declined significantly – by 69% – since the UK’s departure from the EU.
The Council of Mallorca thanks ABTA for its commitment to Mallorca to hold its annual convention in 2025
“For three days Calvia, which has undergone significant investment in the last decade, will become the epicentre of British tourism.”
"What is happening in Calvia is really impressive and I’m honoured to be hosting the ABTA convention there"
Lots of Brits go there - Magalluf has been a top destination for many years - but I think the more broader region of Calvia and the changes that they are making is worth showing to the UK industry...
A Tourist, a friend in Mallorca
The Mayor of Calvia (Magalluf, Palmanova, Santa Ponsa, Illetas, Paguera) says all tourists are more than welcome and looks forward to meeting the Association of British Travel Agents next October.
“I think Mallorca is well on the way to finding the right tourism balance”
"Mallorca is trying to find that balance between the desire to welcome people and obviously the important part tourism plays in the Mallorcan economy with the fact that people who are native to the island, residents, want to live their lives as well."
