What are the benefits of tourism for Mallorca?

The first of the benefits I will talk about is Majorca's economy, today in Majorca 85% of the islands revenue comes from tourism like restaurants, hotels and purchases of goods in shops this is a huge amount to the island which would definitely be a huge benefit to Majorca.Next how tourism has benefited Majorca culture Majorca has a culture of historical places and castles the most famous place being the ruins of the Roman city of pollentia and the money from tourism helps to restore and keep open cathedrals, castles and ruins etc. which helps to keep the Islands culture and history in tact. Other sites of historical or architectural interest supported by tourism include the Banys Arabs, Moorish baths from the 10th century, and the Moorish palace now used by the Spanish royal family for vacation getaways. The popular tourist resort of Pollenca preserved examples of its Roman past for the education of residents and visitors also so not only cultural benefits it also has educational benefits.Conservational benefits, Sustainable tourism receives attention as Majorca's popularity among tourists grows. The Cabrera National Park, established in 1991, is an hour's boat ride south of Majorca. Diving is prohibited and boats must have permission to anchor in the park's waters to preserve the marine environment of the area. In 2005, the island boasted 40 "Blue Flag" beaches, a designation awarded by the Foundation for Environmental Education to beach areas that maintain quality and safety standards. This is because of tourism if there was no or very few tourists this national park would not have been established and its national beauty kept this is also thanks to conservationists who believe that the Islands landscapes and wildlife are most important and they need to be protected.Infrastructural benefits, Facilities established to attract and please tourists also benefit the residents of Majorca. Airlines and ferries run frequently to carry tourists between Majorca and the Spanish mainland. Public transportation serves citizens and visitors, while roads provide access between the mountains and farmlands of the island's interior and the markets, towns and resorts on the coastline. Tourists demand modern communications, such as Internet access, and recreational facilities including scuba rentals. Residents use these infrastructure enhancements as well.
