a lot going on here around the so called ballymena. ah, as you can see, it's still very quiet here. so it's low season, like the calm before the storm of all the tourists tourism is starting again here and some are happy about that. others not that much. why is my yorker so popular? that's what i want to find out. my yorker's attractions include palma, the capital, i have 3 tips for you. i will then take you to the other side of the island by train to so you i also try typical spanish appetizers, top us back to the beginning of my g money for lin airport from here,

a plane is going to take me straight to my order and make sure you have some extra time for the security chicken berlin. i'm in a hurry right now. the flight is almost fully booked from berlin. we had towards the mediterranean after 2 and a half hours will end in palm on my york home. the island belongs to the belly, eric islands, in 2000. 19, before the pandemic around 14000000 international tourists visited the archipelago . my 1st stop is the see. it's a mild 17 degrees celsius, but unfortunately not as sunny as i'd hoped. tourism

in my orca has a long tradition, especially for visitors from germany. they love mother because it's usually warmer here. the island is also easy to get to and relatively inexpensive. so let's take a quick look back how that lay your co become the favorite island of the germans. in the 1950s tourism on my orca was still a pleasure reserved for the leafs. few people could even afford the price of the flight to the island that all changed with the introduction of inexpensive package tours offered by german travel agencies, especially flights hotels and meals all inclusive and reasonably priced suddenly tours and became a thing for the masses. in the 19 sixty's, more than 1000000 tourists came to the island annually. and apart from miner

fluctuations, the number kept growing each year. by the end of the ninety's, my worker was a top vacation destination in europe, with more than $6000000.00 guests per year. but on the beaches around are not popular among german tourists. the drunken rowdy crowds often bring the uglier sides of mast horizontal light is on the back of the vibe is great here. good, great clubs, cool people in hot men, men as the noisy crowds of tourists, along the so called baller mon beach became increasingly synonymous with the image of my orca calls for more restrictions on the partying masses grew louder however, most attempts to reign in the excesses were unsuccessful. then

in 2020 there was a complete collapse. as the corona virus pandemic cleared the streets of the popular vacation island that my organs had to come to terms with just how dependent they had become on tourism. no guests meant no income and with poverty and unemployment on the rise. angry protests erupted in early 2021. thousands of people whose livelihoods depend on vacationers took to the streets. according to his study by the university of the bally eric islands, nearly a 3rd of the 1100000 residents on the archipelago or at risk of poverty. so now that tourists are allowed to return, the question becomes, will my orca choose mass or class? will go on big bit of we need to return to some sort of an oil,

st adolf. but we have to do it mindfully. he hasn't weighed on. we can't change the way things are, but we shouldn't return to the old days when everything was over crowded. yeah. can you, i. ready like to more thought out and low key tourism you know, ye yes. oh, a lot. depends on tourism here about 80 percent of the people on my york i live directly or indirectly from it. how does the regional government see it? i meet rosanna morrill, director general of tourism on the bali arctic islands senora what are you out of the name of gina, missus moody you there is war in zachary, in the middle of europe. what does this effect tourism here on my orca ocoee in majorca says him, but i felt like us now we are of course affected by the war and i thought of place

all countries are affected because i mean i lost i thought it and not only the tourism salary, but production and infrastructure to allow mine. okay. let it lapse have been in the war and human suffering have consequences for all of europe and tourism is no exception. we haven't did that mean they went off of him. okay. in broke some of them in the next few weeks and months things should really get going again with tourism. are you hoping for as many vacationers as possible? how do you see it by yourself enough or seem that oh go moreover, when are not others asked them as they have they don't? well, just this february we passed a law that puts a cap on the number of hotels and vacation accommodation on the bali re island, estimated by gotham allen milady. that means we won't continue to grow. no, it won't be possible to build new hotels or holiday apartment, stuff that i feel you go him, isn't that simple? what will happen to the hotel complexes in a loud enough and mike, aloof all these huge hotels for germans, dutch and brits. eliza say i owe not, not my be about it when the new laws passed containing certain requirements than

businesses offering accommodation, half to comply with canada damage on over the gothic. we provide public funds to support businesses and meeting these applications that and improving quality and sustainability that in the what our last austin even though that are stuck there. okay, but we are clear about our direction, isn't food, food or no? our future does not lie in low quality offering luge party crowds or irresponsible tourism, or response harmony. yes. was that i am into knobs on your pregnancy at really an option 40 i with all due respect. my yorker has a certain image for you, especially in germany, lots of beer, beaches and parties which as that of a s. i know how i want to change something that's developed over decades, thought chaos, eagle port, vicar se, se is, and when, if you're right, it's tricky. that element there is, but remember that type of party tourism only effect that a small part of the island. i promised before the pandemic hit, we'd already introduced a law to tackle the excess a lot of fun. i mostly aimed at the beaches of paloma,

which attract most of the german tourist, is more on the mind. i remember it wasn't, you know? yeah, let it go read. if those work, i don't know what buddy than the pandemic came not, and of course that meant no tourism at all. just so we couldn't really implement that law. i thought i'd often i lot, we put a lot of restrictions on the abuse of alcohol. i'm what's aimed at the disruptive activities taking place in those areas. but allison is hasp on us can not get him off. we don't want to see that on the bali eric island and he's gonna sell on his south unit up in lee in the administration are doing everything in our power to change it off. okay, thank you. oh, thank you. the next thing i want to do is visit palmer, the capital of the island. my 1st tip for you is the cathedral built in the 14th century palmer cathedral is one of the most important gothic

buildings in all of europe. i am particularly impressed by the stained glass windows especially the magnificent rose window on the east facade. this cathedral east huge numerous artists, half immortalized themselves. here over the centuries, the famous spanish architect anthony go deep, redesigned the choir room at the beginning of the 20th century. i can also recommend this somewhat strenuous climb to the terrace of the cathedral . from up there you'll have a great view of the whole bay of paul mine. ah

ah . here you can also see how huge the round window looks up close. and look there a cruise ship is back at sea. next we go to the old town of palmer on the square in front of the town hall. there is a peculiar overgrown structure. the olive tree is set to be at least 500 years old, but no one knows for sure. there is art nouveau,

architecture, everywhere in the old town you can explore one, the flee on foot. it's so pleasant here that i don't even realize i'm in the big city. after all. 400000 people live in palmer this place looks quite similar to the plaza, my aorta, madrid. so this is typically spanish. ah, my 3rd tip for a visit to palmer is between the old town and the port. this is the neighborhood of santa catalina, quite popular for a few years. and by the way, fisherman used to live here in the past. the district has developed into

a trendy area in recent years. the mostly smaller, 2 story houses have been renovated here. you'll find shops, restaurants, and cafes. it's a great atmosphere. ah, oh, no, i want to go out into nature. and there's a great way to do that. sustainable. and with a nostalgia factor. lou. this is the train that's going to take me straight to the other end of the island. as the name suggests, the trend this sawyer takes you to sawyer this

train connection that has existed since 1912. it takes about an hour for the historic locomotive to travel the 27 kilometers there and back costs. 32 euros. i find its well worth the price. the gentle rattling of the train is peaceful and the views are beautiful. we had through the mountain range, sadly, from montana in the northwest of majorca, with mountains up to 1500 meters. the train stops in the middle of the mountains to give us the opportunity to enjoy this view. mm hm. mm hm. huh. ah. terminus saw you here, i switched to the tram because i want to go to the port. the so you

this old tram is in no hurry either 30 minutes later i reach my destination. thought it is so yet is situated in a large, sheltered bait. one of countless base on the islands each has its own character. there are a lot of boats here. the owners are probably still waiting for better weather. so am i thought of the so yet is framed by that from montana mountains. it's only this quiet in the off season. unfortunately,

it's still too cold for swimming. the water is just 14 degrees celsius. and now i'm getting hungry. a colleague recommended this little place to me. i try some spanish specialties with him in both. they buy their own garcia as i've ordered some top us that's typically spanish snacks. crockett's some potatoes with spicy sauce. these are peppers with salt on top, and olives, and some bread. so let's see. you're

with i now want to take a closer look at what i saw in the distance of the train turn the tram montana mountains with the set up a time when tana is a popular hiking area, you can spend days here. a little trip should be enough for me from beany bussey to fort mulch. this mix of unspoiled nature and terraces made for growing oranges. elements of olive trees makes it from one ton a unique. that is why it is also a unesco world heritage site. in addition, this landscape has been spared from mass tourism so far. ah,

this is definitely something different. my archive, not only beaches and palm trees. majorca is also mountains. ah ah, for the luke is a popular destination. about $600.00 residents ensure their village is wonderfully preserved. if even received awards and recognition of beauty, most little village for hike was worth it. back in palmer, the environmental protection of my yorker also has

a lobby. the g o. b group by the outdoor me to look here is a nature conservation group that takes a critical look at the consequences of tourism. i meet medically that armies in this park and palmer. she's the spokes person for the jewel beat, or thick kreuziger law consequences and you criticize the effect of mass tourism. so as a tourist, am i part of the problem? so bother pro. lemme no nice umbrella. mm hm. no, it's not an individual problem. it's a political problem and one that has to do with the local economic model. after many years ago, it was decided that new yorker would be a place, a tourism fidel, until he became nearly dependent on the family, mel effect of the economy. they won't solicit thought, economical case. what can you do against this dependency in india when they must have boston? but when we opted for tourism, we stopped producing the things that we need to live here. the alley men thought out everything from food to other necessities spread. ashton had la either ocoee, the whom we made ourselves dependent on the import of goods from elsewhere. they

made kathy as there's a fighter incompetent against the backdrop of the climate crisis. floors are they there, there now transport routes and means of transportation must be changed when it kill dashboard. and we need to start producing something else that galaxies lead will run up to the fear prosperity must be generated from the production of our own. essential goods is the elaborate and not only from tourism, but as our st. louis that in our salenti of co moral will says is there are a lot of people here who earn a lot of money from to it. so do you have to fight these people or how do you see it like a little chart to compress a hint that okamuro over i, which i think that is there are many interests in the tourism industry kick unit. there is always the question of in generates this wealth and who benefits from west lock. it is not the people here in the local population got out with my we see for example, that many hotels around by international investment funds that are either something aimed to create more wealth. a few people mean of meanwhile,

the quality of life here is decreasing. abbey, but we see this in the rising levels of poverty and unemployment that a few students and the quality of work in the industry and related sectors and thinking though, doing those take notice at all will indicate us of prosperity in a society in decline. seem this is gay, so unless they be honest that it, it nevertheless, every summer, more and more tourist town visiting the island, my students that gave you an abbey. so we need to find a balance in facing them. what they can leave it at is this a problem where exactly the problem is there are many people in europe and around the world who think my yorker is a beautiful island and would like to visit and get the island is quite big. there is enough space for every one, right. it's much of one of those. no. and i yes, but yeah, the problem is that tourism has outgrown the island because you couldn't say that meal careers suffering from touristic obesity, especially in the summer model. this leads to an imbalance which got to be sustained, socially, or environmentally. got lucky come in the mail. you're welcome by your cut to slim down a bit. go on a diet that isn't something that when it comes to tourism yet,

what is the good? i thank you. thank you. that brings me back to where i started to the so called paloma beach areas are called by the audio and spanish, but with tourists flocking from germany. this became the bellman. as you can see, i am here and those red dots are by the audio. so seaside resort services and the translation german is actually bala, man, i can't believe it. this stretch of beach is a red rack for all my your kids who have had enough master is the numerous bars and clubs on hillary now beach and the high season. it's just one boozy party mile. hi. although most of the big clubs like mega park were close during the pandemic, they want to reopen this year,

especially for german party tourists. the mention that kinda restaurant is also in german hands since 1988 gallon the vinegar has seen many tourists come and go sometimes balaban. you are also part of the parliament. that's the thorn in the side of the regional government. they don't like it that much unless they would rather have more quality and less quantity. do you sometimes have the feeling that you're not really wanted here? that's the ide advil to me and me. so christie avenged send us and it comes to seen as i am. so i think it's a matter of perspective dable among tanya. i because the bala mon, i can also be of high quality. i was in philosophy for a some maybe it applies to the people who are completely out of control and

misbehaving hom more he's been in glenn. those people might not be wanted here on emerson, an even consider fatal. but to what extent can you understand that you might be part of a problem? i mean, you surf elk all their life, act lots of music people dance. can you control that kenzie doesn't strict watched or nora adenosine andy? same yansa design this 5 by, as they're looking at at the wrong way to well, allow me solely selling cultural holidays is wishful thinking. on my face as little in new york is big enough for everyone. as it is, is canada. you'll wilma, the yoga tourists, can stay and think on i, the cyclists can come in winter all, but there has to be space for us to them. i knew you near my step mom, because even a millionaire might want to go out for 12 or more beers. mr. hood, i know this is just, it's just a part of being european are being a westerner, theo, owner. and that's part of having

a good quality of life. the tool is em, needs to leave in flood if you don't have to overdo it this time, then thanks for the interview and all the best. no, thanks. at the end of my trip, i returned to santa catalina, the trendy district of palmer. there is a lot going on here in the evenings. how as tourism changed on my orca, after the pandemic isn't going to be class instead of mass. so lecture trips or party tours. well, in any case, most of the people on my,

arca will be very happy that tourism that is so important for this island picks up again at all. and i don't think this was my last time here or yes. ah ah ah ah, with ah, a
