  "account": "Palma, Mallorca - Local residents on the popular island have once again taken to the streets to protest against mass tourism. Approximately 1,000 demonstrators, utilizing chairs to form a chain, marched from Plaza de España to the seaside government offices. The demonstration followed a similar protest in July, which drew around 25,000 people. This time, participants carried homemade signs in English, including \"Your paradise, our hell,\" \"Waiting line for a rent in Palma,\" and \"Tourist go home.\" Due to insufficient participants to form a continuous chain, the route was divided into several segments. Environmental organizations GOB and Terraferida organized the protest, with the \"Less Tourism, More Life\" initiative absent this time. The ongoing demonstrations target the consequences of mass tourism rather than tourists themselves. Housing prices on Mallorca have increased over the past years, partly due to illegal short-term rentals. Americans are also contributing to the changing face of tourism on the island.",
