It was to be expected that protesting against tourists would result in a drop in tourist numbers. The protests were successful and now the inhabitants will have to adjust.
Thought wanted less tourists and less spend.will prices in bars have to come down ,taxis ,restaurants the same. Residents who rely on tourism out of work or reduced wages. Be very careful what you wish for. Still back to Paguera in September,any demonstrations planned or is everybody back to their secure employment outside of tourism.
