eForum Mallorca Experience 2024
Session 2 - Sustainability pays off for companies
Bringing change and green transformation to companies and cities was the focus of the second session of the eForum.
Magalluf
Residents say that Magalluf is not changing for the better
"There was propaganda that the work was going to change and improve but it has made things worse."
Magalluf
No turning back for the "New Magalluf"
The rebuilt Jamaica hotel is to be the future epicentre of "New Magalluf": "a safe, youthful and family resort."
Palma
Major cuts to traffic envisaged in remodelling of Palma's frontline
Contained in the proposals are schemes for pacifying traffic on the Paseo Marítimo, for creating more space for pedestrians and for opening the city up more to the sea.
Magalluf
Magalluf revamp is helping to boost tourist spend
“A tourism model based on sun and sand and competing on the lowest price is all very well, but it’s not sustainable in the long term.”
Tourism

The Times devoted half a page in drawing attention to the changes in Magalluf.
