    Thousands of people in Mallorca, a popular tourist island in Spain, recently held a protest against “over-tourism”. The protesters believe the current level of tourism is harming the island.

    Organizers estimated around 50,000 people participated, while police reported a lower number of around 12,000.

    The Balearic Islands, which include Mallorca, Menorca, Ibiza, and Formentera, recorded 14.4 million international tourists last year, as reported by the Spanish National Statistics Institute.
