Morgan WilliamsWhy other Europeans than British, I assume you mean? The UK is still part of Europe.
Key words: THIS WEEK It's worth pointing out that Brits are far more likely to be last minute or impulsively booking than most Europeans, who tend to book months in advance (with a plan). The island was already mostly booked into October, long ago. It's the same mentality as "towel on the lounger at 6:00am", and it explains much about why Europeans dominate the best places. They simply get there first. As far as British dominant, Brits are not, and never have been the dominant tourist nationality here. If there were some last minute bookings this week by Brits, that doesn't constitute "dominance". And as you point out, even the Spanish are booking 6x that of Brits. Sounds rather desperate.
