UK holidaymakers have bid “farewell” to beloved Majorcan<\/a> retreat as hotels warn about the ongoing anti-tourism demonstrations. Both the CAEB Confederation of Balearic Business Associations and the Mallorca Hoteliers Federation have cast doubts over the authenticity of the recent protest in Palma on Sunday.<\/p>\n Mari\u0301a Jose\u0301 Aguilo\u0301, the executive vice-president of the federation, remarked on Monday that the protest “lost all legitimacy”. He elaborated: “This demonstration had lower numbers than last year’s. In 2024, a great deal of the motivation for protests was to do with housing.<\/p>\n “Little by little, protests<\/a> have become a centrifuge through which all issues such as housing, tourism, language, the situation in Palestine are passed. In this way, the protest is blurred.”<\/p>\n He further noted: “The federation’s message is very demanding in terms of housing, mobility, and infrastructure. There are issues being put on the table that could have better results and more effective solutions.”<\/p>\n Gabriel Llobera, the CAEB vice-president and CEO of Garden Hotels, expressed his disapproval of the conduct observed during Sunday’s protest, citing anti-social behaviour “that should not be allowed”, reports Birmingham Live<\/a>.<\/p>\n He pointed out: “We have to look at the number of people there. There are almost 200,000 people working directly in the tourism sector, and we’re talking about 8,000 people at the demonstration. If we have a million people in the Balearic Islands, that’s 0.8%,” he stated.<\/p>\n
