Answer

Does the Mallorca eclipse trip raise environmental concerns?

Yes, some criticism focuses on the extra boat service, the special train traffic and the strain on already busy summer infrastructure in Mallorca. There are also questions about the carbon footprint of running an event-style excursion for a one-night spectacle. Those concerns do not cancel the appeal, but they do change how the trip is viewed locally.
