According to Delem Ocio, a company which specialises in end-of-course holidays for Spanish students, Mallorca is losing its appeal. One reason is that the island has become increasingly expensive, but the CEO of Delem Ocio, Juan Manuel López, also points to "total harassment from the institutions". "They discriminate against us. The hoteliers are afraid of the daily inspections."

Roger JonesNo doubt the hotels are breathing a sigh of relief. One thing they all know (or learn the hard way) is that generally, those who pay the least tend to be the most problematic and most costly to accommodate. Leave big messes, stains, damage, cause problems with other guests, write scathing reviews. ...most of which is impossible to recoup.
This is good news. This is not the sort of tourism business that Mallorca needs, with the antics of the students only adding to the negative perception of the resorts that are accommodating them. There are other destinations in Spain and around the world who will initially welcome this business and good luck to them!
