Inter-island summer tourism by Balearic residents is becoming increasingly expensive and less attractive. In July and August last year there was a five per cent decrease. The downward trend has continued this summer.

Shaun1And its a shithole thanks to jerks like you.
We spend around 90 days a year in Mallorca. Me and my friend went on a motorcycle week in northern Spain and wow what a lovely area. Got to say Mallorca is a shit hole compared to the lovely area in northern Spain
So I mainly live in Ibiza. This summer I had an unexpected 2 days off. Fancied a little staycation. Ended up being cheaper to fly to Bilbao, have 3 nights in a 4* hotel and eat a Michelin star restaurant for 2, than it was for 2 nights in an agrotourismo here. .I fully understand it's different markets and supply and demand but that's just ridiculous!
Andy WalkerHave to agree. They complain excessively, expect far too much and are never thankful. I don’t want them. Many colleagues locally say much the same. Why are they such arsehole travellers?
Better off without them, the Spanish are some of the lowest spending tourists of all.
