DJ Seth Troxler: They're turning Ibiza into Las Vegas

American DJ Seth Troxler first arrived in Ibiza 10 years ago and since then the Spanish party island has "changed drastically", he says in Billboard interview. "The tourist board here in Ibiza has made a conscious decision to change the image of the island and shift the demographic towards families and holistic living... Ibiza before was this place where you could live this free, transient, affordable lifestyle... They're investing a billion dollars into Playa d'en Bossa and gentrifying that area and turning it into a Las Vegas-type situation". The younger people don't go there that much anymore, they've gone go "Croatia, Albania. Kids can go to these places, spend a fraction of the money and actually stay out later than you can here".
