playground for Pöbeltourists: Mallorca fights with the consequences of mass tourism

An ever louder protest is formed on the Mallorca holiday island against the increasing flood of tourists. Loudly roaring, mountains of garbage and drunk guests who seem to have forgotten any rules of conduct, cause justified anger among the locals. But while the holidaymakers are responsible, the Mallorcan themselves must also reflect on their role.

For decades, all tourism in Mallorca was tailored to this audience. Huge hotel complexes were built near the beach, and on every corner you can find cheap snacks and bars that offer flat rate drinking. Discos and covered beer temples are only a few minutes' walk away. It is no wonder that this audience can be found in droves on the island when this "playground" is offered.

The Mallorcan government has been trying to contain the behavior and excesses of the Pöbelourists for some time. Laws and regulations were issued to get the problem under control. But the average tourist is a habit. Mallorca still stands for party and alcohol. In order to bring about long -term changes, the island must be fundamentally restructured in many places. But this will take years, if not for decades.

The debate about the effects of mass tourism in Mallorca is not just a regional matter. It stands as an example of problems that other popular travel destinations face. The question of the responsibility of holidaymakers and locals as well as after a sustainable tourism strategy is becoming more and more urgent. The Mallorca case brings this discussion into the spotlight again and refers to the need to rethink.

It is time for both travelers and the host countries to deal with their vacation behavior more consciously. This is the only way to contain mass tourism and minimize negative effects. The future of tourism lies in a balanced design that takes into account the well -being of the locals and the travel destination itself.
