Majorca - a holiday paradise!
There's an argument to say that Majorca has too many tourists... and if you look at the raw numbers, there's something to that. After all, more than 6 million visitors travelled to Majorca (as at 2010).
All of those people mean that that competition for the tourist dollar is strong. Resorts and hotels go out of their way to keep their offerings up to date. Restaurateurs know that an internet reputation for slack service and poor food will see them sit empty as the place next-door rocks. Tours that are of no value won't be open next year. Food is fresh and plentiful. Economies of scale drives down supply prices, and ultimately, prices for the consumer. The beaches are plentiful and clean - because the local authorities know trash leads to a trashy reputation. Taxi fares are reasonable because there is plenty of business. Local cafes stay open all hours - because there is plenty of business. In short the holidaymaker to Majorca gets it all - great resorts, excellent food and drinks and all at reasonable prices.
Popularity? Bring it on!
