Why can't people say Ibiza properly?

Is there a story arc or a small line of dialogue where someone corrects the pronunciation of the Z in in Ibiza? It just irritates me when people don't even try and properly pronounce other cultures place names.
It's EE-BEE-THA not EE-BEE-ZA

See that's interesting because I was reading recently that in Catalan, the language of Catalonia where Barcelona is, they pronounce it Bar-se-lona, but I can also find a lot of people online saying Bar-tha-lona. I've never met a native Barcelonan to confirm which is right. Might need to book a holiday and settle it for myself...

I say for something as obscure as some isle of the coast of Spain, simply pronounce so someone can spell it and google it.

Googling is cheaper and easier but travelling is more fun

I watched 2 Spanish films this week, The Invisible Guest and The Bar. In Guest 2 characters pronounce it Barthelona, and in The Bar a guy talks on the phone to someone named Thethelia, which was subtitled as Cecelia, so I think there is something in this...
