The real problem is that British and German tourists have the need to drink and be devastated to have real fun. In Southern Europe the drinking culture is way different.
I never understood the appeal of travelling to some exotic place just to spend half the time there intoxicated. Never been to Mallorca, but I saw a similar phenomenon when I travelled through the Algarve region of Portugal.

I’m going for the first time next month early September. I’ve been researching a lot and reading and watching lots of reports about the Over tourism on this island. Especially now that I’ve been living in Germany for four years. I’ve come to know Mallorca as number one destination for German holiday makers. I hesitated a bit going to Mallorca, But at the same time, I wanted to see what the hype is all about. I managed to curate how my Travel is going to be, basically private boat trips every day so I can avoid the beaches. And swim directly in the beautiful water. And that’s going to be my conscious contribution into being able to enjoy mallorca without adding too much strain on the local. I hope it works out well for both parties ❤
Its the herd mentality. There are millions of gorgeous sunny beaches all over the globe that don't see as much tourism and they actually want it! I just watched a show on Jamaica and the locals there love having tourists, this is how people make a livng and the economy thrives.
I actually wanted to move to Mallorca, but decided to move to Sardegna now. Because the authorities and locals were not helpful at all. I realized new people are not welcome on the island. I’m very happy now that my new home will be on Sardegna and not on Mallorca. Also because of the mass tourism on Mallorca. Sardegna doesn’t have that problem (yet).
Jose Dias, the head of tourism, said that apartments hadn't been built in 10 years. But have any hotels been built in that time? If so, then the people and corporations who benefit from tourism are the problem.
We, the family of four, considered Mallorca and Canary Islands for our upcoming holiday week in October, but due to the massive protests seen on these places, we decided to travel Greece. It just seems that the Greek are much more welcoming and are ok with the aspect of tourism. If the Spanish are tired of tourists, we respect that and stay away from them 👍
Greeks are MUCH more hospitable and friendly in general. Probably the friendliest in Europe. I saw a big difference in service from locals between Spain and Greece.
That is great that you decided not to go to Mallorca. Mallorcans will appreciate this. I hope more people stay away and make the place more bearable for the locals.
@@g.galdos3527 Cheers! The Greek will have our money, but also they’ll have to provide service and hospitality in return. Hopefully things turn our better the ordinary Spanish 👍
@@vepakko tourism doesn't do much for the local economy anymore. GDP per capita has dropped in the Balearics as tourism increased exponentially. Like I said, keep going to Greece.
My family and I are heading to Mallorca in September. It came highly recommended by our Spanish cousins, because in between the hectic cities of Madrid, Barcelona and Paris (those are our intended stops), we wanted one stop on our vacation where we could just relax and enjoy beautiful beaches and nature. Specifically avoided Ibiza because we're not looking to party, we didn't realize how touristic Mallorca was, I guess our cousins went when they were much younger before the current tourist boom. I guess we'll see how it goes, but as an optimistic person I'm sure I will love it regardless.
There is just too much overprinted money circulating among the upper classes that is damaging the regular people by taking away their cities. Is not about regular tourists is about the investment funds buying buildings and about the high income individuals buying for investment and overpricing for a "good return of investment" not noticing they overpayed for a house that someone else really needed.
People have the right to protest, if on top of that they have to keep quiet, the solution lies with the politicians who are the main culprits for not regulating and caring about the citizens' problems, the tourists come because they let them, if there is saturation it is because it is allowed for money andinterests of a few, (including politicians) disturbing tourists by throwing water at them is shameful, and who knows what the reasons are behind it, it is important to protest now because if not it will get worse and worse.
Mallorca is a great island, but El Arenal is the worste place to visit in Mallorca. That's the party area. The island is beautiful, it has many interesting place to visit all year round. Also very popular for cyclists and hiking. It's true that in summer there are really a lot of people on the island. but that's only 3 months, the other months are perfect to recover. I was mostly in September there was perfect not so many tourist and is easy to find a Hotel all over the Island . but is definitely worth to visit.
We went for a week to Mallorca and just came back yesterday. We stayed in Cala Millor and it was fine. Not as busy as the media was portraying it. But I can imagine in Palma or places like Calo Des Moro it can get overcrowed. Unfortunately, Mallorca relies solely on tourism for survival and as long tourists behave, it will be fine.
So, a solution could be to create a tariff to enter the island (i.e. 250 Euros per person). This will screen out the individuals who don’t have the funds to afford the destination. In many cases, the ppl who are irresponsible and, disrespectful to the destination are younger and just don’t care. With the monies collected from the 250 euro tariff, you can help to pay for police force to enforce the rules. You can also flex on the tariff based on season (i.e. free in low season, etc.). By creating rules and regulations you can preserve the money into the destination and minimize the impact and find creative ways to enforce the the rules. It defiintely needs regulation - unfortunately ppl don’t care so, we have to find solutions that are sometimes unpopular.
That is the whole point. Their industry is not bringing them benefits. Apparently there’s lack of school teachers, who with a 1,600-2,000 euros (net) a month cannot make it anywhere there. But also nurses and physicians (the latter earning close to 3,200-4,000 eur net a month) are missing. It is very likely that quite a few locals making a fortune by renting inherited apartments or houses, but lower-middle class is struggling, there is no question about that. I presume most of them (in the Canary and Balearic Islands, and maybe some pockets by the Mediterranean coast) rely on tourism one way or the other to make up their lives. Possibly they work somewhere between 40-50 hours a week and earning between 1400 to 1800 euros a month. It is clearly not sustainable, they need to be faaaar more selective with the tourism they receive, targeting high incomes and those who can afford to pay for a more cultural experience rather than just beach and sun. To put it differently, they are selling Ferraris at VW Polo price. Their nature is slowly being destroyed because of so many people and at what price? Also with taxes from tourism (as if they were coming from oil) they could seek to establish good quality affordable public lodging for residents of those places. Also diversify their industries. Now it is on them!
Tourists are not the problem, lack of regulation is. Poor working conditions and lack of enforcement of regulations are driving us to poverty. Access to housing is off the books if you're a local and hotel owners are hoarding all the money while our standard of living is sinking further and further.
This problem exists everywhere there is mass tourism. In the UK there are regions where the housing stock is bought up by people from large cities and rented out. This cases the poorer local population to have less opportunities for housing and the jobs created by tourism are often low paid. The wealth generated goes to the hoteliers mostly. The average person suffers more than they gain in my opinion. They should introduce some sort of special levy or tax which should be used to compensate the locals for the effects of mass tourism.
To conserve nature form overcrowd you need some restrictions. For example; 1- Put a daily visitor limit 2- Symbolic amount of entry fee to beaches. For over populated tourism there are many things to do, but the government, locals and tourism companies have to unite and bring solutions. The locals obviously no need this much tourism and new buildings to live. Local people leaving from the island and renting the apartments for the tourist. The greed has to stop. I think to live together in peace the government should limit for Airbnb or short term renting. Additionally, Airbnb is very greedy as they have been increasing the rates and fees and than the properties become more expensive.
I think they should require all non-local hotels and Airbnb's there to contribute to a fund for local housing builds. If they are going to profit from the island, they need to support and contribute to resources. And Airbnb's, like everywhere else, need to be heavily regulated.
well when they write "kill a tourist" it doesn't feel very welcoming. especially on the canary islands. but they shouldn't be angry at the tourists. they should be angry at the government for how they handle things. most tourists are good people. and i don't hear them complain about all the illegal immigrants flooding the canary islands everyday. but they are angry at us from europe who pay a lot of money to travel and without us there is no economy
People who work in the Islands can't afford to live there. As where I live there are flats that are empty and the price for renting or buying them is completely abusive, I think that building more is NOT a solution, they are building more and killing the nature, expelling animals from their homes, etc, it is horrible
Truth be told Tourism and tourists are just a nuisance. They dont respect local culture, do what ever they want (pee in public in Amsterdam). I think it should be restricted and made more expensive... This can also help the local economy from where these so called tourists come (at least the nuisance will be restricted to their home)....
They want to cut off the only source of income. He said that the wealth (from tourism) is not distributed." In other words, take it from the people who work to earn the money, and give it to others who do nothing. Like the glick who heads the push to end tourism. I hope that tourism in Mallorca drops to zero and you see how much money will be distributed then: zero.
And yet they have a point, trickle down economics simply doesn't work. It only makes the rich richer and the poor poorer. So some form of regulation is most definitely needed. Only good luck trying to find something that's not too big of a nuisance for the rich to pack their bags and just go to wherever the circumstances are more favourable to them.
Funny OP. You think rich foreign corporations are doing Mallorcans a favour by building hotels and restaurants?? No they are there to siphon wealth from the locals' patrimony while paying low salaries and not having to deal with any of the issues their 'investment' causes.
I have a degree of sympathy with the local residents living in a city where over tourism is also a problem,. but it is a problem because it has not been well managed by the local authorities. The Mallorcans need to direct their ire at their own government and authorities instead of scapegoating visitors for their problems. Many say they are, but that's not what I felt when I visited Palma a few weeks ago,
I stopped watching at 3:06 cause it's so hard for me to read the subtitles and watch video at the same time. Please give voiceovers for laguages other than english in future videos 👍🏼
Typical Spanish: mass tourism brings lots of money and some inconveniences - "oh, we hate mass tourism", should there be no tourism - there would be less jobs for locals and less money - "ooh, we do not want to work and at the same time we do not want to be poor". Would there be at last the person who lets Spanish know there is a clear miracle called "micro- and macroeconomy"? the closest relatives of Spanish are French who are "we wanna do nothing for ages for unprofitable state companies, but the taxes should be paid by rich, not us. And we wanna strike for ages!"
Europe should ban Airbnb. It enriches a group of people that already is rich, since they can afford buying multiple homes and most of us have already an hard time paying rent. I don't see the money of these landlords distributed in any case
Mallorca perhaps did not properly curate their vacation industry. Rather than appealing to the German yob tourists they could selected a more exclusive clientele. Many vacation spots make this same mistake.
no, I will not go there! I agree with the local, Mallorca is over-crowded. I will avoid a place where my present is considered (may actually be) a problem to the local
Mallorca also has white sand beaches. I’m moving to Sardegna, an Italian island with many white sand beaches and clear water. But also on Sardegna, it depends on what coast you are. You have Caribbean like beaches, brown sand beaches or stone beaches. Same on Mallorca.
PLEASE promote lesser-known destinations that NEED tourism and stop promoting the places EVERYONE already knows. This is especially true in Greece, where Santorini has been suffering this overcrowding, whilst next door in Anafi, Sikinos or Amorgos they're lucky if they get 1/10th the visitors!
It's interesting that they think it is ok to break the rules or the law in another country bc they say so. I am not sure if they would be doing that in their own neighborhoods and flipping the law. Does the German police let them do whatever they want? I think Europe and the US has a drinking problem. I understand that people drink wine, beer, and spirits bc is all you have and it socially acceptable. But really, what you should be drinking on a hot day on the beach is coconut water, papaya, orange, watermelon, cantaloupe, pineapple, guanoabana, limonada, naranjada, or a mamey milkshake. That's just to mention a few fruits that are good for you and are non-alcoholic. On the other hand, I do understand why they need to get drunk in the morning or the middle of the day before they hook up. They are not particularly good looking, so alcohol might make them very attractive. I don't know. 😛
More regions need to act like Barcelona are doing with control on short-term rentals which is strangling efforts of locals to live there. Interesting how the head of the Tourism Advisory Council, when asked if he was in contact with those organising the demos, didn't answer 🤔 Maybe therein lies part of the reason why locals are protesting and are frustrated. As the report said and as most locals would probably agree, it's all about a balance which has been completely lost.
There is a Total Solar Eclipse there in 2026 people are going to be flying in from all over the world , be devastating if we can't see it .from the island 🌙🌒🌘😢
Preparing myself for the sixth winter to freeze, even though companies like Nvidia, and other chip designers and pruducers make billions with my invention. If you want to be rich make your invention not plundering in internet.
If tourists will stop to come there. They will die of starvation. I Have been there one time. Its not bad climate and beaches. But service is not good. You have to pay for everything, beach towels, air tax, beach beds. Turkey much better
Great report , the reporter can even speak Spanish. :)
Shame on DW management to sustain fascist legacy of Franco-regime.
Hello from Bucharest, Romania - a huge underrated city in Europe:) Known also as "Little Paris"! We do not suffer of overtourism.....

From someone who doesn't like the typical summer trip. I'd rather go to places that don't have the issue of mass tourism.

It's probably not as busy on Mallorca in September, as the school vacations in Germany are over then.
The boating around mallorca puts a lot of stress on the seagrass plains that keep the water clean and clear. So your plan is not ideal imho
There’s so many other islands with hot climates to visit.
I think that is the real problem with mass tourism. Everyone's going to the same places.
Its the herd mentality. There are millions of gorgeous sunny beaches all over the globe that don't see as much tourism and they actually want it! I just watched a show on Jamaica and the locals there love having tourists, this is how people make a livng and the economy thrives.
