Bookings in some of Mallorca’s most popular summer season vacation resorts have slumped by as much as 20 percent, say hoteliers on the Balearic Island, suggesting holidaymakers are voting with their feet following anti-tourism marches.

The hoteliers association that represents the resorts of Alcudia and Can say their essential markets have slowed in current months.

The news comes following significant anti-tourism protests throughout mainland Spain and its islands this year - with another huge demonstration march in the pipeline for Mallorca’s capital next weekend.

Recently, thousands of bold anti-tourism protesters swore to bring the streets of Palma to a grinding halt on June 15th, with agents of around 60 groups saying they’re planning to march.

The Alcudia and Can Picafort hoteliers association today stated bookings had actually dropped across crucial markets, including Germany, its primary market, reporting a 15% to 20% downturn on in 2015.

Pablo Riera-Marsa, president of the hotelier’s Association, said: ‘We are seeing how the German market, generally our Number 1 market, is the one that has slowed down the most.’

However, the Majorca Daily Bulletin reports that the group is optimistic that late bookings would still see figures increase, saying travelers were edging their bets on bargain last-gasp offers.

He discussed: ‘We are identifying that this season, last-minute reservations are once again becoming more popular, with tourists waiting for special deals and promos before making their purchase decisions.’
