Voice reading · ~1 minWelcome to the Notitur daily brief, your travel-industry recap. Today: Vox says mass tourism in Mallorca is a hoax. While travel professionals in the Balearics deal with a record-breaking season and growing social discontent over saturation, Vox MP for the Balearics, Jorge Campos, has flatly denied the problem. He claims mass tourism in Mallorca is a "hoax". In a video filmed at Alcúdia beach, Campos blames other political groups for promoting tourism-phobia. "It is false that there is saturation and collapse in Mallorca," he says, as reported by Preferente.. To claim there is no saturation when the island broke its all-time visitor record in 2024 and residents are protesting over housing and public services is willful denial. This is not about being anti-tourism. It is about applying responsible destination revenue management. Campos mistakes constructive criticism for hostility. The real hoax is pretending everything is fine. That is today's recap. Come back tomorrow for more on travel, artificial intelligence and travel tech. See you tomorrow on Notitur.
