Majorca issues desperate plea to UK tourists after protests 'backfire'

Majorca locals say they "miss" English tourists as anti-tourist protests backfire spectacularly. The European Union holiday hotspot in the Balearic Islands has been overrun with anti-tourism sentiment and overtourism protests in recent years.

The Balearic Government previously outlined plans to "reduce dependence on traditional tourist markets". But now the protests have backfired, with footfall down and the economy taking a hit as the Spanish holiday island runs dry of tourists.

Olly from Lineker’s Bar told The Telegraph: "This is usually a British destination, but this year there are zero. Instead we have the German, the French, Portuguese, Italians. But the problem is they book an all-inclusive hotel, then eat, drink and do everything in the hotel. They don’t go out for a party."
