Julian Looman, the German actor who plays detective Max Winter in The Mallorca Files, will be attending a key event organised by the Council of Mallorca at the Berlin ITB tourism fair. He will be talking about his experiences of filming in Mallorca at a gastronomy event for which Michelin-starred Santi Taura will be the chef.

As at the World Travel Market in London last November, the Council will be presenting its Responsible Tourism Pledge, the principal messages from the Balearics as a whole being those of a sustainable tourism destination, culture and sport as elements for tackling seasonality, and responsible tourism for the coexistence between residents and visitors.
