Restaurant and hospitality entrepreneurs in Mallorca are laying off workers in the middle of the tourist season. They try to justify this with the argument that there are fewer tourists this year, something that no one can believe because data from Ibestat and the INE clearly show that the summer of 2025 will follow the same trend as 2024; that is, all tourism records will be shattered. In fact, this year, spending is growing even more than the number of tourists. Specifically, and in Mallorca alone, between January and June, almost six million tourists arrived on the island (3.7% more than last year), spending €6.712 billion, a figure that represents a 6.7% increase compared to the previous year.
