British company making money from Spanish resort
http://www.02b.com/en/notices/2013/0...shirt_5622.php
You have to admire their business nous. We hear from the doomsters that you can't make money out of Spain, but where better than out of loaded holiday-makers?
A much-desired urban revamp of Magaluf is still a long way ahead. An online clothing website based in the UK has launched what is likely to be a contentious item: a t-shirt sporting the catchphrase 'Magaluf: On it till we vomit'.
The same company, which advertises sales on the Internet, has on its portfolio two more tees inspired by the Majorcan seaside town, on the Spanish Balearic Islands. 'Magaluf 2013: Go strong or Go home' and 'I'm in Maga Bitch', say the garments. HolidayHen presents itself as a brand specialized in hen parties abroad and clothing items specially tailored for group holidays.

Hardly a set up in Spain business is it
The words "out of Spain" says it all!

Re: British company making money from Spanish resort
Here's another Brit (and Irish) combo who also make money from tee-shirts connected with Spain, but in their case they operate from Madrid.

At least they spell the words correctly on their tee shirts...

Re: British company making money from Spanish resort
One of the great things about Mallorca is that there is something to suit all tastes. Magaluf is one of those (and thankfully only one - except perhaps Arenal which is far more pitiful and scheduled to be rebuilt as a posh resort anyway).
But to use Magaluf as an example of how some are making money in Spain is arguably technically correct, it does so only with the participation of loads of Brits spending lots of sterling, and the bulk of the money goes elsewhere anyway.

Didn't think it was the Brits or the Spanish making the real money out of Maga, thought that was kind of well known

Re: British company making money from Spanish resort
No doubt there is some money that stays in the local economy.
But the resorts here are rarely locally owned, and neither are any profits.

Re: British company making money from Spanish resort
You are joking right! Do you mean £300 is too much or unachievable?
