Majorca - the Tourist Factory?
A Holiday 87 Special Report This island of Majorca is the Mecca of the package-tour traveller. Some 41 million holidaymakers go there every year. Many go to soak up the sun and the sangria. Others seek a spot of culture, a touch of 'artistic expression'. Most regard Majorca as somewhere to have an undemanding good time. A few go there - believe it or not - to get away from the crowds. How can Majorca be all things to all holidaymakers; how can it retain any character of its own under the pressure of all those foreigners on pleasure bent? Frank Bough ,
John Carter and Gillian Reynolds take a long look around the island that has been described as 'a holiday assembly line'. The result may well surprise many who think they know Majorca. It surprised us.
