Speaking of Mallorca is talking about experience. The elder of the Balearic Islands accumulates centuries of experience in tourism. Although there are previous references to Mallorca, it was the appearance – in 1784 – of Vargas Ponce’s book “Descriptions of the Pithiusas and Balearic Islands” that started its popularization as a leisure destination. In its origins, tourism was only available to the well-to-do classes but, nowadays, it is one of the most important socio-economic phenomena of our society.
Four facts about Mallorca
Tourism in the Balearics adds up to almost 45% of the region’s GDP – Gross Domestic Product. In 2017 we welcomed over 16 million visits, of which more than 2.5 million came from the Iberian Peninsula.
We have more than 16,000 companies dedicated to the sector and there are thousands of families that have their source of income in the hospitality, catering and auxiliary services.
According to data from the Mallorca Convention Bureau, the island has 24 golf courses, 33 marinas, 52 tennis clubs and more than 280,000 hotel rooms distributed in almost 1700 establishments.
In addition, it boasts state-of-the-art infrastructures and facilities for large-scale events, including the Palau de Congresos de Palma, which was inaugurated in 2017.
