FEHM's pro-tourism billboards vandalized
The 'Tourist, go home happy' campaign was launched ten days ago by the FEHM with the aim of sending a message of gratitude to tourists.
PalmSeveral billboards from the Mallorca Hotel Business Federation (FEHM)'s tourism campaign have been vandalized in recent days. The campaign, titled "Tourist, go home happy," was launched ten days ago by the FEHM with the aim of sending a message of gratitude to tourists, who, according to the organization's president, Javier Vich, "are the ones who pay the 235,000 salaries generated by the tourism sector during the months of July and August." in the classic 'Tourist, go home', a common proclamation at demonstrations against mass tourism.
The post also shows another fence in Alquería Blanca that has also been painted, but in a different style. The paint-stained sign was quickly covered up, but since Felanitx is clear, they've repainted it.
A spokesperson for the organization told this newspaper that they view the graffiti as "a direct response" to the hoteliers' campaign, which they consider "a provocation." "It's a sign of the discontent and anger that exists in society, and it must be channeled somehow," he explained.
