Travel: How US tourists are changing tourism on Mallorca
Since there has been a direct flight from New York to Palma, the number of US tourists has clearly increased - and there are more luxury hotels. Is the Germans' favorite vacation island becoming American?
The number of US tourists visiting Mallorca is increasing, with 300,000 Americans traveling to the Balearic Islands between May and October last year, a 16% increase from the previous year. This trend is expected to continue, with a 40% growth in demand from the US market predicted for the current season. US tourists tend to spend more than European visitors, with an average daily expenditure of €129 compared to €91 by German tourists.
The influx of American tourists is likely to drive up prices on the island, particularly in the luxury sector, where several new high-end hotels have recently opened, including the Mandarin Oriental in Palma and the Vier Jahreszeiten in Formentor.
