🚢 Will the Visit of U.S. Navy Carrier Crew Members Bring a Warm Breeze to Mallorca's Economy? 💸

Hello everyone! Today, I've brought you some truly astonishing news. 🤩 It's the announcement that the U.S. Navy's state-of-the-art aircraft carrier, the USS Gerald R. Ford, will soon visit Mallorca.

This aircraft carrier carries over an incredible 4,500 crew members. What a colossal scale, right? It is anticipated that these crew members, staying in Mallorca for six days, will generate an enormous economic ripple effect.

An Economic Impact of Approximately 10 Million Euros?

According to an estimate by a media outlet, this visit is expected to inject around 10 million euros, that's over 10 billion Korean won, into Mallorca! 💸 Isn't that incredible? This figure is an estimation based on similar past aircraft carrier visits.

For example, in the case of the USS Harry S. Truman, which visited in 2022, each crew member spent between 200 and 400 euros per day. If this amount is applied to over 4,500 crew members, it would indeed be a substantial sum, wouldn't it?

What Will the Crew Members Do in Mallorca?

So, what activities will these crew members engage in while spending money in Mallorca? According to the article, they are expected to enjoy various excursions, and purchase sports equipment and clothing. Furthermore, a wide range of spending activities are anticipated, including utilizing hotels, taxis, coaches (tour buses), and rental cars. ✈️ It can be likened to the arrival of a massive group of tourists.

What Accommodation and Services Will They Use?

When the USS Harry S. Truman visited in 2022, the crew members primarily stayed in 4-star and 5-star hotels in the Palmanova and Magaluf areas. Hotels located in popular tourist spots across the island were highly sought after. It is expected that a similar situation will repeat with the visit of the USS Gerald R. Ford. ✨ It feels like they are enjoying a top-tier vacation, doesn't it?

30 Tour Buses for Transportation?

To transport such a large number of personnel, 30 tour buses were mobilized daily, so you can imagine the scale, right? Such a large-scale visit can be an excellent opportunity to invigorate the local economy. 👍

Upon hearing this news, have you had similar experiences, or does it make you want to visit Mallorca? 😉 I am looking forward to seeing what positive impact such a large-scale visit will have on the local community and how much more of Mallorca's hidden charm will be revealed.
