Travel guide urges tourists to avoid Mallorca in 2025
Anti-tourism protests, graffiti and more
Holidaymakers are being told to avoid popular destinations such as the Canary Islands, Majorca and Venice in 2025 as they are “collapsing” due to their popularity, according to a leading travel guide. Each year Fodor’s publishes a ‘No List’ highlighting “destinations suffering from untenable popularity”. It warns that prioritising visitors can result in the destinations becoming “prohibitively expensive, homogenized, or even destroyed”, which ultimately doesn’t result in a “happy” travel experience.
Palma protest against the housing emergency and tourist overcrowding
Thousands of people from all over Mallorca have taken to the streets of Palma to protest against housing emergency and tourist overcrowding. Under the slogan 'Mallorca no es no ven' and organised by the Banc del Temps, the protest started at the Parc de ses Estacions and continued along the Avenidas. Photos: Pere Bota

Locals occupied the beaches , hilarious about twenty people went to some obscure beach for an hour then got moved on by the local plod.they couldn’t organise the proverbial piss up in a brewery.
Organ WelshmanFamous post on TripAdvisor Magaluf forum: "My husband is a picky eater. Do they have burger king there?"
James T, good quality restaurants in Maga? Is that the Pizza Hut or the Maccy D's ?
tranq tranquerThe bars were quiet, as was Pirates, but decent and good quality restaurants were heaving.
TaraIt is the tourist trade Tara. Lots of people, lots of jobs and vice versa. Perhaps Shagaluf is not where today's tourists want to go. What happened to Costa de Calvia I think it was. The name change to get rid of Maga which is toxic to many Brits.Of course that does not apply so much to other europeans but maybe they are rather put off by rows and rows of British establishments.
Tara, i'm sure Maga is fine. Don't forget those famouse A list celebrities Michelle Keegan 🤷♂️ and Mark Wight 🤷♂️ have a place there, so everybody will be piling into Maga in the hope of seeing them.
Magaluf was empty last year, people were losing their jobs
Yet the airport keeps getting bigger & bigger & bigger, wonder what they know?
You published the same article last week, but the headline implied it was only Brits being warned not to go to Mallorca (implying yet another imaginary "majorca" anti-Brit programme). At least you cleared that up this week. Now foreigners will also be banned :-)
