Businesses in Magaluf have sounded the alarm over a lack of holidaymakers in the party city in the lead-up to the holiday season after weeks of anti-tourism protests.

Photos show that Magaluf, one of Majorca's busiest cities, is still half-empty - days before tourists are meant to be flooding its streets, bringing with them much-needed spending money that is vital for the local economy.

The Majorca Daily Bulletin reported that businesses are now anxious about whether enough tourists will come to the island.

And internet influencers hype places so much that tourist spots become swamped. There’s no happy middle ground.
