"It is a bright early summer evening in Mallorca and Jaime Mora Bosch is
reclining in a waterfront restaurant in a cream suit. Behind him, Port Adriano
is filled with multimillion-euro yachts as their passengers settle into
restaurants overlooking the marina, where rosé and mineral water are being
poured.
Mora Bosch is director of tourism for Calvià, a district of mountain trails,
luxury resorts, exclusive harbours… and Magaluf, the resort with a reputation
as the place where Britons go abroad to behave badly.
Cheap lager, sunburn, public nudity, stag dos and hen parties turned ‘Shagaluf’
into a tabloid genre of its own. Mora Bosch insists that picture is years out
of date and argues that the tourist tax introduced a decade ago has helped
drive that change."
