La croisière à Majorque : rêve économique et problème social envers la tourismophobie

Abstract

Cruise tourism has evolved a lot during this last century and has become democratized. The consequence has been an invasion of cruise ships in the ports visited. These massive arrivals have produced many positive effects, especially from an economic point of view, which has caused many Mediterranean cities to try to attract them to their ports. But cruise ships also generate negative impacts from the environmental point of view and the massification of some neighborhoods of the cities visited with the arrival of cruises. This massification is the cause of the birth of anti-cruise movements in the large cities of the Western Mediterranean, which demand to stop these nuisances and demand solutions from the administration. The balance between positive and negative impacts is the best solution to find the balance between all the interests and the dream to be achieved for every city that welcomes cruise passengers.
