Six protest groups have called on tourists to avoid Mallorca, citing a failure by authorities to tackle overtourism. Neus Lopez emphasized that the protests are aimed not at tourists but at unresponsive politicians. In response, the Balearic Islands announced an increase in tourist taxes and a new levy on rental cars to address the overtourism issue. Spokesperson Pere Joan noted that the demands of mass tourism strain the island's resources and contribute to significant environmental and social challenges.
