Sparkasse removes airport billboard — was that enough?

Answer

How do Mallorca residents feel about ads that seem to promote mass tourism?

A slogan that romanticises mass tourism can feel like it ignores the people who live and work in Mallorca all year round. That is why advertising in public spaces can become part of a much bigger local argument.
