Record numbers — but for whom? Why Mallorca's tourism boom needs attention

Answer

Why can Mallorca tourism record higher revenues even if overnight stays are falling?

That can happen when visitors spend more per day, stay in higher-priced accommodation, or book more expensive services while spending less time on the island. In Mallorca, the latest figures suggest that tourism income rose faster than visitor numbers, even though overnight stays slipped slightly overall. It means the market can look strong in financial terms while still showing weaker volume trends.
