Because their owners have found a legal loophole, which means there are now three establishments beer, wine and Sangria.

Because on the favorite island of the Germans, the Corona rise-fall in numbers rapidly. Alone on Thursday were registered in the Balearic Islands, 264 new infections, on Wednesday, there were even 279.

The very high number of daily new infections in Mallorca epidemiologists, such as tourism scientists puzzled. Because, actually, Mallorca fight more boldly and with more stringent rules against the pandemic than many other countries for a holiday. Throughout the island mask is mandatory, even in Public. In addition, Hotels, guesthouses and tour operators, try with a well-thought-out Hygiene, and distance concepts to attract tourists.

"In principle, shows Mallorca very good, travel is also in pandemic times, more or less, is certainly possible. Most of the tourists on the island spend their holidays in a rule-compliant and responsibly,“ says Kiel, Tourism researcher Martin Lohmann, in an interview with FOCUS Online.

search That people would feel after the lifting of travel restrictions in the holiday a great desire for light-heartedness, so that the psychologist and Director of the Cologne market research Institute rheingold, Stephan grünewald expected, however, months ago.

tourism expert, Lohmann believes, under certain circumstances, Yes. "We cannot prohibit the celebration is now easy and all of us into a monastic existence to withdraw and the pleasures of this world forsake, neither Mallorca nor in Germany." Wild Together outpaced demolitions of people without spacer and mask as on the ball man are, of course, for the foreseeable future is not possible. "We must, however, in the medium term, social responsibility, and especially young people space and time to admit, in which the other omitted to celebrate," asks Lohmann.

Apart from a few more of this Corona is the learning process, at least when traveling with many people so well advanced. To emphasize this, it is also tourism scientists Lohmann important. "The vast majority of the 55 million Germans travel every year on vacation, make significantly more to get drunk than just on the beach. And if you rules on vacation at the seaside or in the mountains, in compliance with the distance – to breathe fresh air, then this is also in pandemic times, not reckless, but simply healthy.“ Paula's dog gets lost in the woods - by the brilliant idea he finds back home FOCUS Online Paula's dog gets lost in the woods - by the brilliant idea he finds back home armed to the Mediterranean sea Gas is coming to a head: the Greeks and the Turks send war PCP dispute over Mediterranean Gas is coming to a head: the Greeks and the Turks to send military equipment
