The Spanish island of Majorca has provided millions of tourists with cheap holidays. Tourism has brought prosperity for many of the inhabitants - but at a cost. Environmental problems abound. Much of the coast has been destroyed by hotel development and now the builders are at work inland. There’s too much traffic, too much rubbish and not enough water. Majorca’s traditional industry, farming, has declined, leaving it dependent on tourism. The authorities are promoting ‘sustainable tourism’, but will they succeed? (2000 - 30 minutes).
