Record season? Think again. Six percent fall in international passengers at Palma airport in August
Germans take top spot followed by the British
Hopes that 2022 would be the best ever holiday season in Mallorca were dashed this morning with Palma airport reporting a six percent fall in the number of international passengers. In August an estimated 1.2 million Germans and 800,000 Britons passed through the airport. There was a big rise in the number of mainland visitors which helped counterbalance the big drop in foreign visitors.

There has been much talk this summer about overcrowding on the island and too many tourists. The government is under pressure to curb the number of holidaymakers in peak season. In this selection of photos it appears that those calling for fewer tourists are in the right although many would disagree.

Shocking, innit? See you next year.
