Mallorcans are set to protest against mass tourism on August 11, coinciding with a predicted peak in British visitors. Organizers argue that tourism has led to overcrowding and inflated housing costs, making it difficult for locals to enjoy their island. While tourism contributes significantly to the economy, critics claim it fails to benefit residents, who face strained public services and rising living expenses. Recent protests have garnered massive turnout, with slogans highlighting the negative impacts of 'super-touristification'. Additionally, local leaders like Daniela Otero emphasize the need for a balanced approach to tourism that includes resident input in planning to address these concerns. The growing unrest reflects a broader pattern seen in tourist-heavy cities globally, as locals demand better management of tourism's effects.
