Tourism in the Balearic Islands has changed significantly since the 1960s. Originally focused on sun and beach tourism due to its many beaches and Mediterranean climate, it now also attracts tourists interested in cycling, hiking, and birdwatching. The landscape has been considerably altered by the influx of tourists, with hotels and urban development replacing natural beaches and fields. The most visited places today are the Cathedral of Palma, Bellver Castle, the beach at Palmanova, and BCM planet.
