The project
Tourism in the Balearic Islands continues to be marked by strong seasonality. To reduce this dependence on summer visitors, the Balearic Islands Tourism Strategy Agency (AETIB) has launched a plan focused on generating demand in different markets through sustainable tourism products linked to so-called ‘strategic tourism segments’ (SETs).
These segments, which include culture, nature, cuisine and sport, allow for a more diverse range of tourism opportunities tailored to less seasonal visitor profiles. Campaigns have been designed by the private sector together with the island councils, seeking to attract tourists during the off-peak season, while also promoting the Balearic Islands as an international destination.
The plan distinguishes between traditional, emerging and new markets: for traditional markets, it seeks to build loyalty with new ideas; for emerging markets, the focus is on unique aspects of the destination; and for new markets, still unfamiliar with the islands, the aim is to exploit their potential for growth. In all cases, the approach is the same: quality, sustainability and specific motivations that go beyond sun and beach tourism.
The plan was executed between 2018 and 2019. The investment, close to €1.2 million from sustainable tourism tax, was divided between the four islands, with Mallorca as the main beneficiary. These actions have laid the foundations for more coherent campaigns in line with the current challenges in the industry.
