Morgan WilliamsWhen you say “we”, I presume you are actually referring to the original inhabitants of the islands, unless you have become a Spanish national, and even so………. “Package holiday types”. I stand by my original statement in regards to the snobbery shown in these pages.
Darwin DWe already have an overheated tourism market. I doubt "loosing" a few all-in package holiday types will make much difference. But apparently it's cause for "panic", especially with the package tour operators.
Darwin DWell thats a relief. As for your treatment of clients, shaking them loose before losing them to cheaper places seems a bit violent.
Richard PearsonWell said!!!
I work with big tour operator, contracting, and totally agree. Prices are too high and we loose clients to cheaper destinations.
Us “snobs” will just have to be content at ridiculing and humiliating Richard for his ubiquitous inane postings. Chortle.
Personally, I can’t wait for the so called affluent middle classes to start complaining that Mallorca is too expensive as well.. What will you snobs have to write about then ?
'TUI brought a record number of visitors to the Balearics in 2024 - around two million.' Obviously it's not too expensive then!
It's no surprise that one of the icons of cheap mass tourism would find Mallorca too expensive. But we've had enough of cheap mass tourism, so it may be a blessing in disguise.
Richard PearsonAs stated as nauseum in all of these "warnings", there are cheaper places, if that's your main search criteria. Nobody is stopping anyone from choosing that. Out of curiosity, what's your excuse? Passport issues?
