goodness me. all that research to tell us that someone who pays €60 to get into a club and then €20 on a beer spends more than joe sixpack and his kids when on holiday.

Would be interesting to find out how much of the €80 from the clubber stays in the local island economy at night vs same €80 spent by the family on chair/parsol, pedalo, ice cream, parking, spade/bucket and grocery during the day.

Not a snotty comment, btw. One of the reasons I (and many other people) have their family holiday in IBZ is for the energy that the club scene brings to the towns and beaches. We also enjoy the odd night out!

True that a lot of clubbing money can end up in global hands, but id say the clubbing is Ibiza's main attraction. Even some of the familes who don't club and have never clubbed book because Ibiza has that cool reputation.

There's also a lot of 'inbetweener' travellers who arent fully ravers but who arent there for a family snooze week either, such as parents who take their teenage kids to Cafe Mambo or go for drinks in Ibiza Town when the ravers are just getting going for the night etc

Take the clubbing away and Ibiza would basically be Majorca, still pretty and still popular but a lot more bland.

I'm saying something I've said lots of times in the past: generalizing is dangerous.

if a family goes into an all-inclusive resort and hardly leaves the place for a week, how good is that for the island generally?

likewise I have lots of clubbing friends in their 30s that shop locally, go for nice lunches and dinners, hit bars, beach clubs, clubs etc....

....but it's the same the other way around - as in clubbers that hardly do anything apart from hotel - club and return or families that do spend money all over the island.

the important detail here this year is that while the regular tourism is making money, none of the clubbing bit is. and thus it's also thousands of jobs that aren't being offered right now.
 
San Juan, the true Ibiza... I bet jimmiz agrees!

Lo extraño tanto ?
 
Just had an e-mail from Ibiza Feeling Hotels (Purple Hotel, Red Hotel, Blue apts, White apts) telling me that none of them are opening this year. My booking at the Red has been cancelled. Quite surprised by this, thought they would be exactly the type of hotel that would open.

This news has swung the pendulum back towards not coming this year....I'm on the fence
