It'll be All Right on the Night

Local politicians reckon that veteran actor Michael Douglas fluffed his lines

Local politicians reckon that veteran actor Michael Douglas fluffed his lines at the Berlin travel trade fair last week.

Douglas, who has a house in Mallorca and has agreed to promote the Balearic Islands in various travel trade events, spoke for most of the time about Mallorca and devoted only a couple of minutes to Menorca, Ibiza and Formentera.

Even worse was his 'joke' that his son liked Ibiza because he wanted to be a DJ, perpetuating the image of Ibiza as an all night party island.

This at a time when the whole tourist industry, whilst recognising the importance of the club scene, is trying to re-promote all the other attractions of the island which bring people here from Spring to Autumn and not just in a 10 week clubbing season.
