I sympathise in some respects, but all those hotels and the huge airport were built to accommodate tourists WITH government blessing. I used to enjoy my Mallorca holiday but, like many others, I have cancelled my reservation for 2018. I don't go on holiday to be the subject of hate. Sadly, once tourism fades to a trickle it will be the Mallorcans who suffer. Holidaymakers bring in a lot of revenue. So goodbye Mallorca. It was great while it lasted.

Palma city government makes it hard enough on tourists. A-Holes.

Although I think the Arran approach it completely counter productive and damaging, I also think that tourism is very good for the island, there does need to be more done to ensure the wealth filters down the pyramid. This is not unique to Mallorca or Spain but it's magnified due to the volume of wealth passing through people's hands, it's so visable. It is wrong that bins are not being cleaned in areas of the island, also another problem not only effecting Mallorca is that younger people cannot afford homes to live, same in the U.K. But again not to the same extent. Something needs to happen to redistribute wealth from the top 1% down. With the amount of money tourism generates, Mallorca should be heaven for locals, maybe time to find a better balance.

These are the same people that are complaining their economy is in the toilet and they have no jobs?! Driving tourism away is going to help them how exactly?

Remember many flights are also filled with persons just travelling back to the island as they work in London - myself for example - 30 flights per annum. You fly on Norwegian and it is 80% filled with Spanish flying back to the island after a holiday in the UK, normally visiting friends whom are working and living in the UK. So flight statistics issued do not give the correct view in my opinion.If you minimise flights you reduce the ability for the island residents to holiday themselves abroad at a cost effective price.

Pere, I came here 35 years ago. I agree tranquil, but the world has changed in 35 years. 20, 30 year olds want the ease of large shopping centres. They want the prospect of good jobs to travel the world.By all means go back 35 years. Pot holed roads, lack of diversity of shops, lack of diversity of restaurants. Visit London, New York, Venice, Rome, Italy - 365 days of tourist visitors. We in London love the tourists - jobs aplenty for all. How do you really think 95% of the population will work?Many tourists here are Spanish families from Madrid whom have holiday homes here? They are still tourists. The island is busy only for 6 weeks. This is disgusting behaviour. Greece will happily take your tourists.

413/5000 Very little know what is really happening in Majorca most of those who write here. For decades we already had tourism, and another type of industry and we lived well. Now everything is for tourism and nothing for the resident. To which he says we do not like to work: stop talking about ridiculous topics. I wish only half of the tourism that we have today would come, we would live better. Tourism does us no favors.

You may demonstrate all you wish but when there are no Euros in your pocket you may like to eventually work out where they used to come from!

Seven years ago you had Traspaso signs everywhere and 27% unemployment.

All the problems are caused by the government. Allowing too many all inclusive hotels allowing to many flights allowing too many cruise ships . Mallorcan people need not to look at the tourists but to look at the people running the Island and allowing it. There are only so many eggs you can fit in one basket but your government can't understand it and its up to them to control it .. It is not the tourists fault !!
