Thousands Protest Overtourism and Housing Crisis in Mallorca

Mallorca residents took to the streets of Palma on July 24, 2024, to voice their concerns about overtourism, the high cost of rent, and the proliferation of Airbnbs. The protest, which drew over 10,000 participants, highlighted the strain that mass tourism is placing on the island's resources and infrastructure. One protester, holding a sign that read "Too many tourists, too many cars, too many yachts," expressed frustration at the lack of affordable housing and the environmental impact of the tourist influx. The protest was largely peaceful, with participants expressing their concerns through signs and chants. The event underscores the growing tension between the needs of local residents and the demands of the tourism industry in Mallorca.
