What has Malaga got that Mallorca hasn't for British tourists? Figures released this week show that almost three times more British tourists headed to Malaga in March than Mallorca. Official figures stated that 129,000 British tourists came to Mallorca compared to 330,000 to Malaga.

Malaga generally has better weather than Mallorca over the winter months and resorts like Fuengirola, Benalmádena and Torremolinos are maybe 10% cheaper. But Malaga city and Marbella are certainly no cheaper than Mallorca. And a lot of people who fly to Malaga are probably going to other areas in Andalucía, (Granada, Sevilla etc) not to the resorts with crap beaches and freezing cold sea.
Tourism is not race to the bottom, Mallorca has its fair share of tourists and is happy.
Shaun1Please post a link where the tourism minister said this. Maybe he or she said that tourists (of any nationality) who just want to get drunk and cause trouble are not welcome. A big difference.
News Flash! Benidorm has more Brits than Santanyi. A grave situation for Mallorca.
It wasn’t long ago when the tourist minister said the British were not welcome. All the British press jumped on her comments with some putting the story on their front pages. Maybe the minister’s dream is coming true, the mainland is far cheaper and more welcoming towards the British tourists
