With wild Ballermann-parties in the middle of the pandemic has made Mallorca a few weeks ago, on a Europe-wide outrage. Prompt the cult had to include local beer and ham street. Because their owners have found a legal loophole, which means there are now three establishments beer, wine and Sangria. It is a Coup, with the island’s restaurateurs want to save the disastrous Corona-the summer – but the price could be high.
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. Almost all had bouts according to the local authorities for drinking, large gatherings or family reunions can be plugged in.

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. Mallorca is a Problem, the ball man and his guests was. “It is only a small part of all tourists, for such a Celebration holiday come completely out of the question, but its effect for the island could not be greater,” says Lohmann.

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. “A lot of people feel that currently, an increasing great desire for community, closeness and embrace.

The consequences of this Party-rage could just come now, Mallorca to be expensive. For years the island by the Image of a cheap Party-high-castle tries to solve. The threat of a Corona-disaster in a holiday Paradise could now bring the final Wake-up call. Are Party and party tourism in pandemic times still acceptable?
youth has suffered under the crisis: “Young people need to be omitted to celebrate,”
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.
The quick-fix re-opening of Bars and entertainment Establishments on the ball man, in spite of the ban shows how it should run. But there is also a positive example of how lust and the need for security in a pandemic of Life-times to reconcile, for example on the Hamburger Reeperbahn: the Schmidt’s Tivoli theatre, was allowed to open one of the first in Germany to ensure distance, the reduced auditorium with hundreds of plants throughout. And in the Techno-Club “Baalsaal” on the DJ behind plexiglass.

Life with Corona – it was a learning process, the Fort had to be led, as long as there is the Virus. “At the Moment we are only at the beginning of this new life with a Corona. It comes to reactions, such as, most recently, in Mallorca, is not at all surprising and is part of a learning process,” says the psychologist, who spends himself for his holiday on the Balearic island as a “peaceful and civilized place” can be experienced.
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
