Balearic Islands See Mixed Tourism Trends in 2025: Overall Up, Germans Down
The Balearic Islands, a popular tourist destination, have seen a mixed trend in visitor numbers from January to September 2025. While overall tourism increased by 2.4% compared to the previous year, reaching over 16.6 million tourists, the number of German visitors decreased by almost 2%.
The total number of German tourists who traveled to the Balearic Islands from January to September 2025 is not explicitly stated, but the decline in their numbers is significant. This decrease comes despite the overall recovery in the tourism sector. Meanwhile, British arrivals also saw a slight decline of 0.64 percent in the same period.
The islands, which include Mallorca, Menorca, Ibiza, and Formentera, welcomed a total of over 16.6 million tourists. This marks a 2.4% increase from the previous year. Notably, nearly 3 million of these international tourists were from other parts of Spain.
Despite the overall increase in tourism to the Balearic Islands, the number of German visitors has decreased. This shift in tourist demographics may have implications for local businesses and the tourism industry, which heavily relies on German tourists. Further analysis is needed to understand the reasons behind this trend and its potential impact on the local economy.
