‘It gets a bit dirty after 2am’: overtourism debate centre stage as Abta meets in Mallorca

The recent meeting of Abta in Mallorca has brought the issue of overtourism to the forefront, particularly in the context of Magaluf, a popular destination for British tourists. While the island's beautiful seafront and vibrant nightlife attract millions, the local community is grappling with the consequences of mass tourism. This discussion is crucial as it highlights the need for sustainable travel practices that balance tourism's economic benefits with the well-being of local residents and the preservation of cultural integrity.
