MALLORCA TODAY - Senior tourism programme at risk

Further to today's main article ("Senior Service: Mallorca's salvation"), the programme for this winter at least looks as though it will not happen. Because of the national and regional deficits, agreements have not been signed by Madrid or by the Balearic Government to cover the funding that should be forthcoming. The result will be that at least 10,000 tourists will now not be coming this winter and that the hotels which had planned on offering employment will now not be able to do so.
