More UK holidaymakers are being put off from holidaying in Majorca due to a surge in an "anti-tourism" protests, a new survey reports.
It is said that many business owners, whose income thrives on tourism, are concerned over whether they'll make enough money this summer. The local publication states that some resort areas including the popular Magaluf, are "unusually quiet" for this time of year as the high season begins, reports the Express.
This has reportedly angered locals, who have organised more protests to fight for a limit on the number of tourists due to overcrowding. Another campaign group called Menys Turisme, Mes Vida has threatened to "collapse" Palma de Mallorca Airport, which hosted 31 million passengers last year. It said it could do this by causing a traffic gridlock outside the airport, but Jaume Bauza, the tourism minister for the Balearic Islands, responded furiously to these claims.
