Empty Sun Umbrellas, Full Shopping Bags: Why Mallorca's Beach Economy Is Faltering

Answer

Why are beach bars and sunbed rentals in Mallorca seeing fewer customers this summer?

A mix of higher holiday costs, tighter household budgets and rising operating expenses is making many visitors cut back on extras at the beach. Some guests now bring their own drinks and towels instead of paying for loungers or service. Seasonal staff shortages and stricter rules also make it harder for operators to adapt quickly.
