the w literature invites us to see people in particular. i to see myself as the kids find the strange grown up world. my only objective when i write is to share what a thing beautiful did a reboot on youtube. i blue ah, ah, ah, she suassa beauty papa bavaria. does that sound familiar? no, i am not in germany. i am by the mediterranean sea on the most popular holiday island for german tourists. majorca before the pandemic, there was usually

a lot going on here around the so called belmont 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 yorkers 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 saw you. i also tried typical spanish appetizers top us back to the beginning of my journey for lim airport. from here,

a plane is going to take me straight to my order. make sure you have some extra time for the security check and 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. we landed palmer, my york on 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 majorca was still a pleasure reserved for the leitz. 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 neils all inclusive and reasonably priced. suddenly tourism became a thing for the masses. in the 1960s, 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 arnold popular among german tourists, the drunken droughty crowds often bring the clear sides of masked horizontal light is on black law. the vibe is great here. good and great clubs, cool people, and hot men, men as the noisy crowds of tourists, along the so called baller mon beach became increasingly synonymous with the image of my worker. 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 are at risk of poverty. so now that tourists are allowed to return, the question becomes, will my orca choose mass or class? oh go on. they feel we need to return to some sort of normal, say they don't,

but we have to do it mindfully. he has to wait on. we can't change the way things are, but we shouldn't return to the old days when everything was over crowded. yeah. kinda the way we like to more thought out and low key tourism. you know, ye yes. oh, a lot. depends on terrorism 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, maria, director general of tourism on the bali arctic islands. senora what are you out of the name of la, mrs. marie you there is war and your cree in the middle of europe. what does this effect tourism here on my orca hockey and my orca says him breakfast that focus

maybe are of course affected by the war and i thought of place all countries are affected because i mean i lost it, but it and not only the tourism salary but production and infrastructure to that, i'm all my know, good love it. it's, i've 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 with the film. okay. in less books am awesome and 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 in my york on through apple? seem that oh, go morally. when i'm not asked them if they, if 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 ballier island scenario. i got them on monday. i did. that means we won't continue to grow north, it won't be possible to build new hotels or holiday apartment. stuff up there like i found it. you go him, is it that simple? what will happen to the hotel complexes in lorina lint, maloof, all these huge hotels for germans, dutch and brits less if say, are you not? not alive eva. like when the new laws passed containing certain requirements than

businesses offering accommodation half to can clive like alida, that means one of the often we provide public funds to support businesses and meeting these applications. i am an improving quality and sustainability that and what our last austin even though, but especially i don't good, but we are clear about our direction is, has food and food sponsible tourism more response homily. yes. was that i am into an old song. you're pregnant 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 just out of a saw know how i want to change something that's developed over decades thought chaos. eagle point because they say, and when, if you're right, it's tricky. but element there is. but remember that type of party tourism only a fact 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,

wasn't you know what? 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 it's yona. so we couldn't really implement that law. i thought i'd often buy a 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 alas and in this has been asked can not get him off. we don't want to see that on the bali. eric island eskoville on his cell phone is up in the we in the administration are doing everything in our power to change it off. okay. well thank you. uh huh. 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 ah 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 pol 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 order 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 can face. it's a great atmosphere. ah, i now 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 gonna take me straight to the other end of the island. as the name suggests, the trend this sawyer takes you to sawyer the string 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, trembling donna in the northwest of my orca 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 this. so you this old tram is

in no hurry either 30 minutes later i reach my destination. port of the so you situated in a large sheltered bay, one of countless, based on the islands, each has its own character. the . there are a lot of boats here. the owners are probably still waiting for better weather. so am i part of the so you it is frame, but the term with donna mountains, it's only this quite 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 myself. immune coast, they buy their own garcia as i've ordered some top us that's typical 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. mm. no with

i now want to take a closer look at what i saw in the distance of the trainer the cam, 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 in olive trees makes that 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, for the launch is a popular destination. about $600.00 residents ensure their village is wonderfully preserved. if even received awards and recognition of beauty. oh, nice little village. the hike was worth it. back and 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 in your criticize the effects of mass tourism . so as a tourist or am i part of the problem? so bother april. emma. 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 york would be a place, a tourism fidel. and we became nearly dependent on f, l m l effect of the economy. they won't select thought economical case. what can you do against this dependency and answer when the and most apostolic but and when we opted for tourism, we stopped producing the things that we need to live here. the alley man throws out everything from food to other necessities pressures. then allow either a key, but then we made ourselves dependent on the import of goods from elsewhere. they may have got the as there's,

they florida thing happened against the backdrop of the climate crisis. floors are they, they are now transport routes and means of transportation must be changed when it kill dashboard and we need to start producing something else. the dagger lacy's lead will when i proceed, prosperity must be generated from the production of our own. essential goods, easily elaborate and not only from tourism, but i source then i'd love that, you know? so anybody in comalla will says if there are a lot of people here who earn a lot of money from too. so do you have to fight these people or how do you see it took 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. dennis, there is always the question of him, generates this wealth and who benefits from a lawyer like it is not the people here in the local population got out of my head . we see for example, that many hotels around my into national investment funds. so got, i mean, somebody aimed to create more wealth a few people mean of meanwhile, the quality of life here is decreasing abbey by we see this in the rising levels of

poverty and unemployment that a few as students and the quality of work in the industry and related status and lasting king, dodo, unless i thought it will, will indicate us of prosperity in a society in decline. seem this gay, so unless there be any static. nevertheless, every summer, more and more tourist town visiting the island. nice duties that gave you an abbey, so we need to find a balance if they say that most they can leave it out. is this a program where exactly is 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 possible those. no, yes, but i hope this is the problem is that tourism has outgrown the islands because you couldn't say that meal careers suffering from touristic obesity, especially in the summer model. this leads to an inbound and it's which cannot be sustained, socially, or environmentally co. lucky come in the mail. you buy your cut to slim down a bit, go on a diet that isn't something we said, but when it comes to tourism yes. yeah, good. good. 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 read thoughts are by the audio. so seaside resort services and the translation german is actually by law mom. i can't believe it. this stretch of beach is a red rack for all my your kids who have had enough mass tourism the numerous bars and clubs on is arina beach in the high season. it's just one boozy party mile. 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

mentioned that kinda the restaurant is also in german hands. since $988.00 calendar dining has seen many tourists come and go some team, a bellman, you are also part of the month. that's the thorn in the side of the regional government. they don't like it that much. they would rather have more quality and last quantity. do you sometimes have the feeling that you're not really wanted here, that the adult and he and his speech evanston does its job to seen this? i'm so i think it's a matter of the bottom on this one because the bottom i can also be a high quality of life. and i some, maybe it applies to the people who are completely out of control and misbehaving. they've been named and those people might not be wanted here since about me,

but couldn't be difficult. but to what extent can you understand that you might be part of the problem? i mean, you serve alcohol, there are a live act, lots of music people dancing. can you control that? can you just stick by story on the scene and the senior design? the fathers as they're looking at it the wrong way. solely filling cultural holidays is wishful thinking on my office and little new york is big enough for everyone is coming and then you go with the yoga tourists can stay in, the cyclists can come in winter. there has to be space for us to and me, you near my fail model because even a millionaire might want to go out for 12, or more beers. that's good. it's just a part of b in european are being a westerner, viola, and best part of having a good quality of life. and the tool isn't needs to leave in flooding,

so you don't have to overdo it, vanishing one 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 palma. 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, with ah ah,
