MALLORCA businesses have called on cruise companies to support the island and carry on making Palma a port of call.
A statement issued on Thursday by the PIMECO small and medium-sized business association and the hospitality trade arm of the Balearic Island business association confederation as members of the archipelago’s Chamber of Commerce said that cruise liners continuing with their scheduled stops in Mallorca as much as they can, would be a “lifeline” for the island’s economic recovery after the Covid-19 health crisis.
They point out the pandemic situation means that activity has been at a halt for many businesses for months and that the financial consequences are going to last longer, “with all that means for employment and the viability of many small and medium-sized companies.
“Cruise tourism is not only welcome, it’s necessary,” the statement goes on while underlining the need for maximum safety guarantees and the adoption of health measures.
The statement ends, “for the Mallorca business collective, and especially for the business structure which provides a service to and which has as clients cruise ship passengers, that cruise companies continue backing Mallorca and their programmed stops would be a glimmer of hope to hold on to, and then we can face the entry of the ‘new normality’ with a certain optimism.”
