In an open letter to tourists, various environmental and resident organizations on Mallorca are lamenting the adverse effects of mass tourism on the island. They argue that the influx of visitors has led to ecological deterioration, overcrowding of services, and unaffordable living conditions for locals. The groups emphasize that the once-tranquil Mallorca is now uninhabitable for many residents who face gentrification and displacement. The letter, delivered in multiple languages, directly confronts tourists, urging them to recognize their role in these pressing issues and reconsider their travel plans.
"The local population is angry and we are no longer welcoming them (tourists) because they are destroying the land we love, and many residents are having to emigrate because the island is uninhabitable."
"It's time to ask you not to come. We don't need more tourists; in fact, you are the source of the problem," the environmentalists stressed in the letter.
