An estimated 95% of Palma’s hotels will reopen by end of June, according to the city’s hotel association.
The Palma Hotel Association reports that 45 hotels are currently open in the Majorcan destination and predicts that 67 hotels will be operating by the end of June, representing 95% of the total hotel inventory.
It added that reopening of more hotels is “motivated by the restart of tourism from mainland Europe, with Germany and the Netherlands currently leading the demand”.
