Local on 'overwhelmed' Spanish island says one type of hotel to blame for tourist crisis

Tensions are growing in Majorca over tourism, and one local thinks he knows the main problem. (Image: Getty) One type of hotel is to blame for the soaring tensions in Majorca over excessive tourist numbers , a local hospitality worker believes. Jaume Fuster, 27, told The Guardian that despite the throngs of sunseekers that descend on the island every summer, most ordinary Mallorcans aren't seeing the economic benefits.

He added that the increasing numbers of all-inclusive resorts meant visitors were less likely to spend money with local businesses. It comes after a protest was held in Palma, the Majorcan capital, last month , with demonstrators taking to the streets holding messages including “tourism, but not like this” and "no to mass tourism". function loadOvpScript(){let el=document.
