MAJORCA has been a popular holiday destination with Brits for decades, and the island’s hotel bosses are hoping for a boost from UK tourists once we’re allowed to travel again.
But holidaymakers are being warned that hoteliers on the island are ‘determined to raise prices’ this year.

Speaking to the Majorca Daily Bulletin, Daniel Reilly, Managing Director and founder of JetsGo Holidays said: “I’ve been in negotiations with hoteliers over the past few months and many are determined to put their prices up.
“Over the past few years, Majorca has become an expensive destination. I know hoteliers have invested in upgrading their hotels to four star and want a return on their money.”
He said hoteliers are basing their price increases on the sudden rise in booking demand from flight companies such as easyJet, but warned hoteliers they “have got to be careful they don’t price Majorca out of the market.”
There are still some decent deals to be had though – we’ve found trips to the island from £222pp this summer.

While JetsGo Holidays is ready to resume trips to Majorca as soon as possible, Mr Reilly believes Brits will have to wait until June at the earliest.
While British government’s roadmap announcement allows for the possibility of trips abroad from May 17, he believes holidays to Spain are more likely to start in the middle of June.
He added: “We need to know what the Balearics are planning because the industry in the UK is ready to fly and so are millions of Britons.”
Boris Johnson explained on February 22 that UK holidays could restart from April 12, but is yet to announce when a trip abroad is back on the cards.
Another announcement on April 12 will be given for foreign holidays, but is expected to be no earlier than May 17, and more likely to be June 21.
