Tourism: Another demonstration against mass tourism on Mallorca
Mass tourism is exacerbating the housing shortage on Mallorca. In Palma, around 1000 people once again protested against the economic and social consequences of the ongoing visitor boom.
Locals on Mallorca have protested again against mass tourism on the island. Around 1000 demonstrators formed a sit-in chain from the Plaza de España to the government headquarters by the sea. This is not the first time; some 25,000 people had demonstrated against tourism on the largest of the Balearic Islands at the end of July.
Protesters carried homemade signs with messages such as "Your paradise, our hell" and "Tourist go home". The protests, organised by environmental groups GOB and Terraferida, highlight the unaffordable housing and consequences of mass tourism.
