Mallorca is still growing at an alarming rate

In spite of the economic deceleration, Mallorca is still growing at an alarming rate. This is the conclusion of the Report on the environmental and urban situation that the GOB has presented, for the fourth year running. According to the ecological organisation, the data included in the report of the year 2002, amongst which it is worth stressing the increase in residential tourism in contrast with the hotel tourism, confirm that Mallorca is exceeding the logical limit and advances towards collapse, although the tourist and building growth rate has been lower.

In view of this situation, the GOB demands urgent action because the steps taken by the Balearic Government and the Mallorca Insular Council have not significantly reduced the building activity.
