British and German tour operators, as well as hoteliers in Mallorca are concerned about the effects that the new variant of the pandemic, Omicron, is having on the whole campaign for the sale of holidays for next summer. The paralysis seems absolute and normality is not expected to return until February.


"Early booking discounts have disappeared because the market is not moving. The standstill is absolute and the British market, which at this time introduces its big sales campaign for the summer, is completely paralyzed by the negative impact of the new variant of the pandemic," say the tour operators and from the employers ABTA.
