French Forces Launch 'Major Operation' To Open Route To Noumea

Mon, May 20 - Noumea - The Guardian on a surveillance mission to spot any gatherings or disturbances. Officials said more than 600 heavily armed gendarmes were dispatched to secure Route Territoriale 1, the main artery connecting the restive capital with air links to the outside world. Furthermore, plans for the Olympic torch relay to pass through the French territory were cancelled on Saturday. The flame had been scheduled to arrive on June 11 but French Sports Minister Amélie Oudea-Castera said that "priority must be given to a return to calm" in the territory. Six people have been killed and hundreds injured since rioting began on Monday, according to local authorities. The violence has been fuelled by economic malaise, ethnic tensions and long-standing opposition to French rule on the Pacific archipelago. Photo by Gill Chabaud/ABACAPRESS.COM

Mallorca Imposes Stricter Rules For Managing Overtourism

Mallorca Imposes Stricter Rules For Managing Overtourism

Tourists in the vicinity of the cathedral of Palma de Mallorca on April 16, 2024, in Palma de Mallorca, Mallorca, Balearic Islands, Spain. Tourists planning to visit Mallorca may encounter stricter regulations and potential new fines as the island seeks to address the challenges posed by the annual surge of visitors, which has increasingly frustrated local residents. Mallorca, a favored destination particularly among tourists from the UK and Germany, sees almost 800,000 visitors each year, adding to the already significant population of non-Spanish residents, who make up nearly 19% of the island’s inhabitants. The mayor of Palma, Jaime Martinez, has advocated for stringent behavioral regulations for tourists, suggesting substantial fines for any infractions. The local government aims to mitigate issues related to unruly behavior, including public disturbances such as fights, excessive drinking, vandalism, and other forms of antisocial conduct.
