Emanuel Boeminghaus wrote that the economic downturn has now also affected Ballermann in Mallorca. There, sales have declined by 28 percent within two years. For 2025, the hospitality industry has reported losses of up to 20 percent according to his contribution; for 2026, the industry association expects an additional eight percent decline. In August, the losses amounted to 12 to 14 percent. Citing BILD, Boeminghaus wrote that more than 100 employees at Playa have already lost their jobs and further savings are planned for 2027. He also referred to statements from hospitality representatives, indicating that flight and hotel costs partially accounted for up to 75 percent of the vacation budget. A party weekend quickly costs more than 1,000 euros, while at the same time energy, personnel, and goods costs are rising. A half-liter of beer at Bierkönig now costs 7.40 euros, compared to 6.50 euros in 2024. Boeminghaus wrote that vacationers are increasingly saving money locally. https://t.co/E82Pm1OUoB #Wirtschaftskrise #Ballermann #Mallorca (translated)
