Experts analyze all the elements that put Mallorca on the verge of collapse, examining whether the current tourism model is sustainable.

Synopsis

What was once the “Island of Calm” is now on the verge of collapse. Multiple alarm bells are starting to ring. Is this model of tourism sustainable? Could Mallorca become a reference for so many other places suffering from the same problem?

Experts analyze the illegal holiday rentals, traffic jams, generations of rubbish, and discharges into the sea that put Mallorca on the verge of collapse; examining whether the current tourism model is sustainable.
