Andy. It's a good site you've done with Ian, - I've added the link on my site www.palmanovastudios.com.
Andy, i'll complement your website too and applaud you for being a pioneer. Never expect support or encouragement from govt when you're doing something better than they are/shouldbe doing. Just work hard at good content and a moneytisation strategy so can maintain success. I'll give it a plug in Scotland through my channels
Thank you Simon. Appreciated.
The vast majority of residents also want a 30 hour working week, two months paid holiday and no tourists on their beaches on Saturdays and Sundays.
Just please stop whinging about the Tourist Tax. It's here, and it's staying. Why? because the vast majority of residents want it, and the vast majority of tourists don't really give a flying feck. Both of these points have proven to be correct.Deal with it.
Andy, well here's one from me. Excellent articles full of interesting snippets. Keep up the good work. You never know, one day you may be invited to a meeting in the Teatro Principal.
I have been promoting the better side of Mallorca in English for five years with my website www.mallorcadaysout.com. Not a penny from the government and not even any acknowledgement. I never expected any but my effort fares better than some of the attempts like Visit Calvia.
Oops !Travel firm based in Palma just gone bust due to brexit & exchange rate.Better commission another survey mate!
No point on a "jolly" to London. Spend it instead on a decent all-encompassing website for tourists, in many languages and with up-to-date information on events and forthcoming festivities etc. and then add links for tourists to click and book tickets and hotels etc. These trips for low-performing tourism chiefs bring little return other than a nice little trip for them. Get where the real world and the money and interest is - online. Official online promotion for Mallorca is pitiful.
Thank you Steve and Bill. I put the website together because I am a historian who enjoys the island's unique history. I thought others might like to enjoy it too. A website was more viable than a book. It has connected me to Mallorca and hopefully it connects others too. I just write in the language of the tourist rather than the language of the local.
