Barry Byrne talks about the Anti-Tourism Movement in Mallorca

from Talk of the North, Mallorca: The Podcast · host Talk of the North, Mallorca

How did the anti-tourist movement grow and do Mallorcans really want everyone to go home now? We meet with Barry to talk about what the underlying problems are. How social housing could be the solution. We also talk about how tourism has changed. Post pandemic, we are comparing recent memories of empty beaches and quiet towns to the bumper seasons we are seeing again. But also how tourism has changed, from staying in resort to now hunting down the most sought after hidden spots, the best secrets of beautiful places, sometimes all for the Instagram money shot. It's a really interesting conversation and in it, Barry proposes what we should be doing in response to the movement. How we can change attitudes and make a difference with voting locally and talking to our friends and neighbours. Have a listen and let us know your thoughts.
