The Balearic Islands are projected to surpass 20 million visitors this year - a new milestone for the region.

In 2024 , the islands hosted nearly 19 million tourists, up 5% from 2023 .

Mallorca alone welcomed 13.5 million visitors, despite having fewer than 1 million residents.

Tourism accounts for well over 40% of the island's income, but not everyone benefits from this.

Palma Mayor Jaime Martínez has introduced a new security initiative.

The plan targets "booze tourism" - a term used locally to describe unruly, alcohol-fuelled holidaymakers.

Funded by 3 million in tourist tax revenue, the plan includes expanding Palma 's local police force to 275 officers.
