Overview
- The AETIB’s 2024 poll finds 82% of residents say arrivals are excessive overall or in peak months, while overall satisfaction has fallen to 42% from 71% in 2018.
- Support for curbs is broad: 69% favor capping total visitors and 69% want fewer cruise ships, with backing in Mallorca reaching 77.4% for both measures.
- Majorities in Mallorca call for limits on tourist places and tighter rules on vacation rentals, and roughly six in ten residents across the islands oppose private holiday lets.
- Residents highlight harms including a 77% impact on housing costs, 65.5% crowding in streets and transport, and 62% degradation of natural resources.
- The survey of 2,008 adults conducted in October 2024 was publicized via a civil-society forum rather than a government press note, as the Prohens administration steps up action on illegal rentals and prepares vehicle-entry limits.
