In Magalluf and Palmanova and in other resorts in Calvia, there is uncertainty as to tourism for the rest of the month. Hoteliers in the Palmanova-Magalluf association can't predict what occupancy might be in a week's time, let alone in September and October. Announcements by the UK and German governments in recent days may have been welcomed by the tourism industry and may also have offered some certainty, but constant speculation about possible new restrictions appears to only be discouraging the holiday market.

Meanwhile … covid rages worldwide with numbers up everywhere globally , half the Med is on fire , half northern Europe is being gradually flooded and as usual all the Hotel Association worries about is hotel occupancy rates .. if covid cannot get them to rethink then the next crisis called water shortage will as higher and higher temperatures around the med each year will cause severe draughts .. maybe finally that will reduce the never ending push for more more more tourists that the eco system on the island cannot handle .
Yes, and largely thanks to the hoteliers pushing Armengol to get tourists here, even without tests, there's a lot of people in hospital beds facing uncertainty too....
This story is very much in line with with what I’m hearing. A friend in a usually popular small hotel recently reported just 16 per cent occupancy. They plan to close - they won’t get to September. It’s a worrying situation for many, not just hoteliers, but for seasonal workers who usually rely on summer jobs to ensure their paro in the winter. Tough times ahead I suspect.
