Tourism businesses worried: Sector needs to recover its winning way

Earlier this week, protestors in Majorca stepped up their opposition to mass tourism by vandalising rented cars.

They sprayed them with graffiti describing tourism as unsustainable. The Balearic Island has a population of less than 900,000, yet it is visited by almost 10m sun-seeking tourists each year. Some Majorcans, like their compatriots in Barcelona, have run out of patience with the relentless tide of tourists and the destructive impact they — we — have on their world.
