he Point of View of the Mallorca Tourism Board on the Restraints to Tourism Development. This year the Tourism Board of Mallorca is celebrating its 25 anniversary. This private non‐profitable institution was born from the Chamber of Commerce of Mallorca and is aimed to represent and defend the general interests of the tourism, as well as to care for the traditional assets and the ecology of Mallorca. Altogether a very difficult task for an entity without political executive force, but nevertheless the history of the “Fomento del Turismo de Mallorca” is the succesful history of Mallorca as a first tourism destination of the Mediterranean.
