Mr Schwag said: “The recent protests across the Balearic Islands, including Majorca, Menorca, and Ibiza, have brought attention to the growing concerns about overtourism in the region.
“However, there are several comparable destinations that offer similar experiences for tourists wishing to jet off into the sun – without increasing the strain on communities in those areas.
“Firstly, other Spanish coastal regions, such as the Costa Brava or Costa del Sol, provide stunning beaches, vibrant nightlife, and cultural attractions that parallel the offerings of the Balearic Islands.
“The Costa Brava, located in the Catalonia region, boasts a stunning coastline dotted with charming towns like Tossa de Mar and Lloret de Mar. The region is renowned for its cuisine, including fresh seafood and renowned Catalan dishes.”
While some Britons may be on the lookout for some sunshine and sea-based geography, not everyone may want to visit Spain’s coast. For British tourists looking to try somewhere new, Mr Schwag recommends Croatia’s Dalmatian Coast for the beautiful city of Dubrovnik.
He said the city “offers a blend of historical charm, picturesque coastlines, and lively atmospheres that could appeal to British tourists seeking a Balearic-like getaway”.
He added the Old City in particular is known as the Pearl of the Adriatic and is “a UNESCO World Heritage site famous for its well-preserved Old Town and ancient city walls”.
Mr Schwag also highlighted that while some Britons may be keen to visit Croatia or Spain this summer many may be worried about angering local people. On this, he said: “ By considering alternative destinations and embracing sustainable tourism practices, British tourists can continue to enjoy unforgettable holidays while minimising their impact on local communities across the Balearic Islands and beyond.”
