Surprising — why German visitors fell in July and Mallorca still isn't collapsing
Germany's July 2026 arrivals to the Balearics: fewer visitors, higher spend
July 2026 saw fewer German arrivals to the Balearic Islands, but higher per-person spending. What this means for Mallorca.
Published: September 02, 2026
Answer
Why did German visitors to the Balearic Islands fall in July 2026 even though spending rose?
In July 2026, around 597,889 German visitors arrived on the Balearic Islands, about 4% fewer than July 2025. At the same time, German spending in July rose by about 8%, with average daily spend around 259 euros. The pattern points to shorter bookings and a higher willingness to pay among the remaining visitors, rather than a collapse.
