Answer

Can Mallorca’s north-east coast really grow through sports tourism?

Sports tourism can help Mallorca’s north-east coast extend the season and attract a different type of visitor. In the Bay of Alcúdia, the idea is to combine cycling, nature and beach tourism instead of relying only on summer leisure travel. It can be part of a stronger model, but only if environmental and infrastructure issues are addressed first.
