Thousands of Mallorca Residents Protest Mass Tourism

Tourists Take to Calo des Moro Beach

Thousands of people have taken to the streets of Mallorca to protest against mass tourism, with protesters occupying the picturesque Calo des Moro beach this weekend.

The protest was the latest in a series of demonstrations against the negative impacts of mass tourism on the island.

Campaigners are calling for a reduction in the number of tourists visiting the island, as well as a crackdown on illegal tourist accommodation.

The Mallorca Platja Tour group, which organized the protest, said: "We want to raise awareness about the negative impacts of mass tourism on our island."

Overtourism in Mallorca

Mallorca has been struggling with the negative impacts of overtourism for a number of years.

The island is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Europe, with over 10 million tourists visiting each year.

This influx of tourists has led to a number of problems, including:

• Increased pollution
• Increased noise
• Increased traffic
• Increased crime
• Increased cost of living

Local Residents Call for Change

Local residents have been calling for change for a number of years.

They say that mass tourism is ruining the island's quality of life and that it is time for the government to take action.

The Mallorca Platja Tour group is one of a number of groups that are campaigning for change.

The group is calling for a reduction in the number of tourists visiting the island, as well as a crackdown on illegal tourist accommodation.

Government Response

The Mallorca government has said that it is aware of the problems caused by mass tourism and that it is working to address them.

The government has introduced a number of measures to reduce the number of tourists visiting the island, including:

• Increasing taxes on tourist accommodation
• Restricting the number of cruise ships that can dock in Palma
• Introducing a ban on new tourist accommodation in some areas

However, campaigners say that these measures do not go far enough and that the government needs to do more to address the problem of mass tourism.
