Mallorca may be an island but the celebrities can still find those out of the way places where they can have some solace. There are secluded beaches, remote mountain ranges and the small enticing inland villages where no one would think to look and the locals could care less unless they cause a problem.
At one time the major tourist trade for Mallorca came from other European countries and the UK. Within the last two decades this has changed and an increasing number has started to come from North America. This increase in tourism for Mallorca has enabled Spain to become the second most visited country in the world. Over the past few generations Mallorca has made a concerted effort to increase the tourist trade by investing billions of dollars in this industry. This investment has begun to bear fruit with in-excess of six million tourists paying a visit to their shores yearly. In one way or the other Mallorca's economic base depends almost totally on this industry, as a matter of fact 95 percent is attributed to tourism.
Mallorca attracts both average holiday-makers and celebrities due to the islands natural beauty and outstanding geography, but the biggest draw for those renting VILLAS IN MALLORCA has to be the pristine beaches with their secluded coves. It is amazing how many people appreciate the quality of the outdoor lifestyle available on this island. It looks like as long as Spain's government remains stable, the number of visitors will be on the increase for an untold amount of time. So if you would like to do a little celebrity watching then make your next holiday reservation in Mallorca.
