Right Steve....and don't forget the free holidays for life with the Sol and Melia hotel group in the Caribbean...with your stuffed brown envelope to enjoy it with. All you have to do is forget about what's best for Mallorca...
Could you ask how to apply for a job there. It looks like anybody could do it, and I've heard that the back-handers are fantastic....
When do you start using seven, a good figure for Palma de Mallorcas size, measuring stations that measure particles and nitrogen oxides (NO, NO2) from vehicles and cruise ships.And do it daily!Examples from my city - current values today on April 5, 2018 at 13 o'clock: Nitrogen dioxide 10.3 μg / m³ Particles (PM10) 17.4 μg / m³ Particles (PM2.5) 14.4 μg / m³ Ground-level ozone 72.9 μg / m³ Carbon monoxide no data μg / m³ Nitrogen oxides 11.7 μg / m³ Sulfur dioxide 4.0 μg / m³"You Can't Manage What You Don't Measure". And the air in Palma city is bad!
Sorry that should read visiting tourism fairs around europe
Why spend tax payers money visiting and promoting Mallorca when the aim is to reduce the number of tourists to the island.
Forget the second half of my last question. He has been freed on bail.
Would it not be a good idea to have large adverts in the airport explaining to the tourists where the tourist tax goes, explaining and showing what happens with the tax maybe will make the tax more palatable (mind I think residents would like to know as well )
Do you agree with Cataluña’s bid for independence. If so, what is your opinion of the german state prosecutor’s decision to jail Sr Puigdemont ?
Ask her why tourists, who contribute roughly 70% (directly or indirectly) to the wealth of Mallorca, are made to feel unwelcome? They face a swingeing Tourist Tax which removes spending power before local business can recycle it, there are rude demonstrations, and there's a huge reduction in rented accommodation which is what many of the higher spenders demand. On top of that, why isn't there a well-run daily updated website in all main languages which publicises all events with details on how to book and how to find them? She's paid to do all this and is not serving the people who pay her salary.
Will you resign if this years tourism results fall far below those which you have promised us ?.
