Panic in Majorca, Ibiza and Menorca as tourists abandon restaurants over high prices | World | News
The 2025 summer season in Mayorka, Ibiza and Menorca has seen a dramatic collapse compared to the last few years, and restaurants and bars are taking most of the hit. According to a Barcelona -based data analysis company, bars and restaurants in Balearlar experienced a more special loss than other Spanish regions during the tourism season.
In the 2025 Summer Report in the restaurant, Delectatech, a company specialized in data for the hospitality sector, points to a direct connection between the decline in occupancy and a “long increase in prices”. According to the Majorka Daily Bulletin, this led to a loss of 4.2%, while the country’s other popular regions such as Andalusia and Extradadura increased by 1-3%. “The tendency to rise in the southern regions of Spain and less tourist areas such as Andalusia is associated with more affordable prices that attract demand for these destinations.”
The report distinguishes between the performance of ballet and regions in the south of the country and northern Spain. For example, the Basque country saw a decrease of 2.5%.
However, the Balear Islands remain in the top five regions in terms of occupancy -between 36% and 42%. In addition, Balearlar said the highest customer satisfaction level.
The study showed that ballets are among the highest average invoice regions. Prices with Basque Country Navarre and Asturias vary between € 27,70 (24 £) and 30 € (26 £). Delectatech, pizza, ice cream, fruit juices and smoothies, as well as products such as breakfast and brunch pointed out a general increase. Meanwhile, traditional categories such as selected meats such as lambs and ducks, fish and seafood, such as wine and beer are decreasing.
Since last summer, restaurants in Mayorka have constantly complained about a decline in the workplace and attributed it to reducing tourist expenditures due to higher holiday accommodation and travel costs.
Last week, María José Aguiló, Vice President of Majorka Hotelers Federation, reduced the decline in tourism to hotels and other parts of the sector in order not to invest in higher standards. “Customers, if they pay more, they know that they expect quality service in return,” he said. “Some parts of the industry meet this expectation, no others.”
However, Miguel Pérezá, president of the subscriber Nightlife Association, rejected these allegations by arguing that he did not have money ”that swallowed most of the tourists’ money for flights and accommodation.
