Brits have been boycotting holidays to Majorca in a bid to teach the Spanish island a lesson as they warn 'you got what you wished for' amid protests against tourism
Majorca is reportedly experiencing concern as anti-tourism protests, sparked by a lack of affordable housing for locals, may be deterring British tourists. The protests have led to some resorts reporting a quieter-than-usual season.
The situation has ignited a debate, with some Britons expressing understanding for the locals' concerns, while others emphasise the economic benefits of tourism.
"The only way to reduce tourism is to make it unaffordable or reduce accommodation and that will lead to loss of jobs and the economy suffers. It's happened in some parts of the UK and the councils go bust."
